I went to Wetherspoons today for breakfast and had a really uncomfortable experience. A man followed me from outside into the restaurant, then tried to pretend he was sitting with me while ordering at the till. When the staff member asked for his table number, he pointed at me and said, “I’m with that lady.”

I covered my table number because I immediately felt uncomfortable. The whole place was basically empty, yet he then asked to sit next to me. After I told him I was using the table, he still chose to sit right beside me, which forced me to move seats completely.

What annoyed me the most was the staff response. When I went to order my food, I reported what had happened, and the staff member didn’t even acknowledge it properly. No “are you okay?”, no “I’ll keep an eye on it,” nothing. They just took my order and carried on like it was normal.

As a young woman sitting alone, that situation was uncomfortable and intimidating, and the lack of concern from staff made it worse.

Burnt burger with questionable garnish that looked slimy and stuck into the bun. Pizza? Couldn’t even call it pizza! Garlic bread could be used as a frisby. Complained about the food quality and recorded £3.44 refunded for the pizza…..

Enjoyed spending few hours here. The house with double staircase was the first for me as I had never before seen it.
Lovely garden with a brook running at the back. It was thoroughly relaxing to sit here and experience the tranquility.
The cafe offers a selection of cakes and lunch options.
There was a Repair shop the saturday we went- don't know if they have it every weekend.

The food here was really we'll be prepared and really hot. Especially considering how busy it was. The staff were all really friendly and there's the normal great Wetherspoons menu with something for everyone.

Unfortunately, being bank holiday Friday, there were some very noisy people, especially one group. Love people enjoying themselves, but when it interrupts others' enjoyment, it's not right. This was only 6 pm.

It's easy to park in the shopping centre across the road which is free for 3 hours.
