Billy SayersApril 7, 2016Although it has a nice range of beers and ales and the staff were nice, there was a lot of tramps and stags in the place in the late morning.Upvote11Downvote
Sam AlexanderJuly 27, 2017TBH, I have a little thing that I like to call, wetherspoonphobia. In that I generally speaking cannot stand the places. However, the Shakespeare's head is a lovely little venue! May have cured meUpvote6Downvote
Dani MJune 1, 2011The large breakfast is...LARGE. and price not too bad. They have soya for those who are lactose intol and veggie breakfast for those not into meat! Not bad for a pub..

Michael TrudgillMarch 9, 2014The management seem rigid with the drinks offerings with food. "What's on the list is all you can have" is the attitude it seems, whilst most other Wetherspoon pubs will happily serve a guest ale.UpvoteDownvote
Ricardo Sanchez-SaezAugust 23, 2014Looks like a tourist trap, but it is not! Good prices for tasty food. Look for the meal+drink deals (including a pint of some popular draft beers!). They pour a ver decent pint of Guiness.UpvoteDownvote

Quoc Huy Nguyen DinhApril 14, 2010Be careful of pick pockets. Keep an eye on your belongings. A friend just lost his bag. The thieves sat behind his chair and dragged the bag to their table.Upvote2Downvote
