The John Fairweather, first wetherspoons I have gone to and this is my third time here, although the first time I also bought food along with alcohol, and as such I feel it does warrant a review so one can increase his review score because I like doing weird things This is a former theatre and the interior does remind you of that, there are audience "members" (mannequins) above where you'd seat and the whole building is very reminiscent of the early 20th century theatre style, reminding you that yes, you are the main character in your own story so you might as well keep the audience engaged Alright, so, now the food, I would talk about the service but they're honestly the best part of the whole place, friendly staff, pretty quick, fries took a while but it was fresh, and the tennants I got was a good enough price, I was a bit surprised at the fries portion I got (I think they mistook it for a small bowl of fries when I wanted to buy the standard bowl of fries), but honestly even with the vinegar (no salt at my table) it didn't really taste that overwhelming, it was just eh imo, I would've bought fish and chips but even with my spending expenses I can not justify £10 for fish and chips Overall, great service, interesting building interior, fries were just okay, y'know the jist

I am very disappointed in my most recent experience. Over the last six months, there has been a marked decline in this establishment. Customer service at times appears to be non-existent, and I've been left feeling like an inconvenience and not a valued customer.
