I was very rudely informed that I need ID to be allowed to eat in spoons? bear in mind it was 11:30 and no alcohol had been ordered? I have never been asked for ID nor do I carry one round with me. I had already ordered food and the worker who told me I need to bring ID to be served next time? his whole demeanour and tone was patronising and utterly rude. Spoons need to work on their staff as they are so rude! I also might add that they used to accept my college id card, however apparently according to this guy 8th November 2023 they changed their rules and it has to be a drivers licence or provisional and that?s all he would accept. There are no signs saying this apart from the challenge 25 for alcohol, and the whole interaction with him ruined my meal and set a very sour tone. He needs to work on how he talks to people as it is very demeaning.

Very reasonable prices. We were a family of 5 adults and children, and we paid less than £7.50 per head on average for a meal and a drink each. Food isn't exceptional, and my curry was a bit on the cool side, but at these prices, it's hard to complain.

Very disappointed. It was my partners birthday 65th we were hoping for an upgrade. Our room was very small, the bathroom wasn't even a one star. The breakfast was cold and by 9.15 most food was running out. Restaurant staff seen twice on there mobiles. As for my sisters room at the end of are corridor didn't get cleaned for four nights. She had to ask for loo rolls, and bins to be emptied. Went to use the reception loo and found the cleaner having a bump. Didn't like the staff using the left as it was very small.

3 of us went, a very overwhelmingly busy place, but its a spoons so of course it is. People came in after us and were served before us, had to go ask where our food was. Tattooed waiter was nice and polite.Great food however, just over £30 for all of us. For a walk in place its good.Vegetarian options: 2/3 of us that went are vegetarian. Think there could be more options but thats like most places. Plant burger, halloumi burger were good.

Public urinal, it should be marked over the door! Used to be a 5 star review 3 years ago but has changed since I was last in Barnstaple. The women staff need a lesson in social skills, the tattooed gentleman was superb, should be the boss and teach the others how to serve people properly. How many people use this establishment to use the toilet and not buy a drink is absurd. If you need a piss come here. New update the 31st July 2023!!! 6 months have past since my last visit and it's got worse, now the whole bar smells of urine, tables are dirty and staff are even ruder. Sort it out

A good place to rendezvous with friends and catch up. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and good value. After placing our order food was quick to arrive.We would be happy to return for another meal.

One of the better Wetherspoons regarding service. Building isn't as historic as most but still has lots of space.It does turn into a nightclub late on Friday and Saturday evenings.

What a difference from the Foxley Hatch, plenty of space here, food was excellent and the team leader on the day was welcoming, polite and approachable.
