Weatherspoons - Birmingham

The tables hadn't been wiped down. Ordered 2 x Mix Grills the meat was badly overcooked, chicken was like cardboard. Ordered 1 x scampi chips, even the scampi was overcooked. The place was not busy so food shouldn't of been rushed. I suggest they...

I think the pub must have upped its game since the last reviews. There are signs warning about the car park charges and a member of staff came to our table and checked whether we had registered our car. You practically have to walk around the Track and Trace forms to get in the pub and to be fair it is everyone's responsibility to fill it in. The staff are very busy because they have to carry everything to your table and yet they appear very cheerful and efficient. It took about 10 minutes to get a drink and the meal came in about 30 or 40 minutes. They do have an App which may make ordering quicker. The building is large with high ceiling and the front door was left open giving reasonable airflow. The prices in Wetherspoons are very reasonable and the quality is good. During these difficult times I think they are making a valiant attempt at a normal pub dining experience.

Be aware of the parking scam in this establishment. Wetherspoons aren’t interested at all, the management don’t want to know over the phone and claim that signage is present and adequate but based on the number of people complaining on here; it patently isn’t.If they do nail you with a parking ticket; my advice is to either pay off the initial fine or set your stall out to play the long game and ignore the threatening letters from Euro car parks and their ‘debt collecting’ henchmen. Otherwise you could end up stitched up for £140 like me.

Beware Parking Ticket ScamShame on Wetherspoons. Our breakfast visit and our desire to write well of the service food and ambiance are totally overshadowed by the £45 parking fine received by post out of the blue today. This is a scam. Inadequate warning signs. No staff guidance at any point in time. Shame on a customer oriented company like Wetherspoons for being a participant in this shoddy scam.

Ended up in area where 3 tables mixed talking around barriers. Staff doing nothing. People in restaurant area moving out due to them. Moving chairs, tables and standing without masks. Staff allowing them to multi interactive ordering and drinking.
