   Today we had an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience with the blonde, glasses-wearing duty manager. Her behaviour was shocking. She was arrogant, condescending and aggressive from the start. She even forgot to give us the proper glasses for our refills. When I asked for help, she spoke to me while eating, with vegetables literally hanging out of her mouth. She banged on the table, raised her voice, and even spoke aggressively to my children – something no staff member should ever do. She also gave us wrong information, in a way that felt discriminatory and racist, which made us feel completely unwelcome. We left feeling extremely disappointed by the service and the way we were treated. Absolutely unacceptable experience.

   Nice pub, that some classed as a Wetherspoons on a council estate. Personally found it decent with usual selection of food, fast table cleans when ppl moved on. Good selection of fruit machines and ample outside space. Hotel down the road (HIE) didn't have any draught lager and limited food. Headed here due to that and nice surprise. Could only give 4 star as I live in a city and Stella is under £4. Here its 50p extra, so greed lost a point. It's not in the center of town, so no need for the added 50p that I don't pay 2hrs south of the city Would visit again as great pub.

   First time visiting The Whiffler and first time I've tried a Wetherspoons breakfast. Proper lovely food, nice and cheap. Unlimited refill coffee for £1.71... can't honestly go wrong can you! Ordered on the app and everything arrived within minutes! Not a bad atmosphere inside either, typical from any Wetherspoon up and down the country. Will definetly pop in again.

   This was a great pub for drinking, with pretty lights from the ceiling! The statue by the wall is a neat addition and counter is well-presented, spanning a long length too. I had a pint of Stowford Press, appreciating the cleanliness and atmosphere was good.

   I had a wonderful experience yesterday morning enjoying a traditional English breakfast that arrived at our table before I could even settle into my chair. Now that's what I call great service! I also took advantage of the unlimited hot chocolate that I purchased with my meal. The whole experience was even more delightful thanks to the staff, who genuinely enjoyed our light-hearted banter while my sister and I placed our order. For me, the atmosphere and interactions with the staff are crucial factors in deciding where to dine.

   Wetherspoons are definitely going downhill. Food quality and value for money are certainly on the decline. Our food came with a strong smell of disinfectant, maybe the waitress had just disinfected something but our plates smelled of it as well after she left. A small Toby carvery for £5.75 seems like a better option.

   I won’t be back for breakfast here. 2 eggs swapped for 1 hash brown because apparently there’s no eggs available even though I went elsewhere two days ago and eggs were plentiful. My whole breakfast was barely warm and just tasted cheap. At £6.90 you’d think a little better quality would be warranted but while so many people accept it I doubt it will improve. So if you’re not desperate for alcohol at 9:30 am do yourself a favour and go somewhere else. One star for a working coffee machine.

   Breakfast was the worst I’ve had from the whiffler today, unfortunately I will not be returning anymore. Table 10 which is a tight squeeze really the table doesn’t fit in the booth, the carpet has a massive hole in it so you can see the concrete floor under. Tables sticky not seen a cloth for some time. Member of staff sitting on a radiator on his phone or just staring at customers eating. Never had “fried eggs” like it they looks as if they had been dropped on the floor splattered and put back on the plate. Hash browns were black and smelt horrible. Was told the bean portion was the size they provide but for a large breakfast I would like a few more than just a table spoonful, massive amount of toast or should I say warm bread? We both had but gut ache after and been to the toilet 4 times since our visit, if you want a belly load of bacteria then do visit the whiffler! People say it’s cheap but come on guys serve some decent edible grub! Suggest looking for an independent cafe it might be a little more expensive but at least they put some effort in right? I spoke to the manager who immediately said you can’t have your money back because you ate too much of it, said it’s not about that I want to give you some feedback, too many of you just accept what rubbish it is. What a dirty breakfast that was.

   The whiffler seemed under staffed upon our visit. All the tables needed cleaning and clearing. Ordering at the bar seemed to take forever just for two drinks. We ordered food from the app it was alot quicker. The food was good and the staff we interacted with seemed friendly and helpful.

   Now, im not expecting a fine dining experience when I walk into a JD Wetherspoons, but my experience of The Whiffler is also well below the standard o would expect of even a pub lunch! Where to begin, we ordered on the app, and half the items we ordered saying they were available, weren't until we got to the basket at the end. So changed my choice from chicken to an all day brunch. Once ordered to notice 1 little sign on the bar that the place had no eggs, so 2 eggs are replaced with 1 sausage!!! Then we move onto the time..... it took 50 minutes to get my food, pretty appalling and no explanation, no apology, my plate just placed in front of me. So I was disappointed that I knew that eggs were unavailable, I wasn't aware you didn't have any bacon even! I include a photo showing what can only be described as one lonely, overcooked, what was once bacon rasher on my plate! I dont know what the chef was thinking when he looked at my plate, let's just say, disappointing I doubt I shall be coming back so this review will probably have no bearing on how you care about my experience but I would give it a miss folks!
