Great fast service and pub was busy. Good choice of drinks on offer. Tables were clean.

Service was good - the pub in general is ok but I had some food which wasn't very nice.

Another Wetherspoons yes!...but Christopher Creek Landsdowne Bmth is closing soon..no idea why..its always busy..getting very finicky WSp..not right enough for them..cater for the more local clients too and bit smaller outlets. Dont get greedy..your cut your own throat Tim.Anyway real ale prices excellent.. breakfast is good too..g&ts not bad value either..shame tho when beers are on tap but dont show up on line..not much point if you got to go to the bar to order when you expect it to show on line and delivered to your table.I know if its busy the ales sell quickly and it does 'most of the time' shows on line..but ales I bought at the bar dont always show on line..you can lose your table and then have to wait to be served..but not too bad..I did inadvertantly notice tho in a bmth Wsps a staff member sweeping up with a dustpan and brush, then going into the kitchen and virtually came out with two plates of food in her hands..obviously and definately never washed her hands..never had time err..come on this ain't on.Just a note..in Torquay they've been selling their specials, curry, steaks etc for ages, yet Bmth nout at mo..getting a bit expensive the old joe Blake's (steaks) now, add a drink and your talking near other restaurant prices.But overall generally good value.Always makes me larf tho..coffee is very cheap..but how much coffee do they want and can drink..lots by what I've seen..would'nt be if they paid £2.50 to £3.00 like many places ive been..'greedy barstewards'.

Went here for a quick meal with the girls while visiting Bournemouth. Ordered two cocktail pitchers, some small plates and a burger meal which came with a drink. The staff asked for I.D for the pitchers and we only had 1 physical I.D and the rest had photos of our I.D. This wasn’t accepted and the drinks were taken away which is completely fine and understandable. However, I didn’t receive my drink for the burger meal and that’s where the issue began… I went up to get the drink which came with the meal, but first I kindly asked the guy at the bar if he could confirm if the meal in fact came with a drink and he said yes. I was about to ask for the drink of my choice when his colleague came up and whispered in his ear. He then cut me off and said unfortunately he was told he cannot serve me. So I said why not? You just told me that my meal comes with a drink. He said yes but unfortunately I can’t give u one. I said I just want a lemonade please my meal comes with a drink. And he went on to say I cannot have a lemonade and that he is only able to offer me water. Another colleague had to then correct him after hearing the back and forth between us and say that I can have a soft drink. In the end I got the lemonade, but I was disappointed in the lack of proper communication between staff. The person who said I shouldn’t be served should have said specifically that they meant alcohol. This situation has ruined our experience here and we will not return. To be fair I will say we had no issues with the food, it was prompt and hot.

Good food, very tasty, cooked just right. Service was easy from the app, and food was brought to the table quickly.Went after being refused entry at 7Bone because one of our group was blind and had a guide dog. (BTW it's Illegal to refuse entry to a registered assistant dog).Wetherspoons was brilliant, weren't concerned about the guide dog, and welcomed us.Really made a bad situation much better.
