The New Crown - JD Wetherspoon

DANGER: FOOD POISONINGReview update: 15/10/2023I am updating this review after vomiting and not being able to sleep due to nausea that lasted for hours.I had dinner on the night prior to this. I am never eating there again.Review update: 10/09/2023- No air conditioning. The place is hot and sticky during summer.- The lighting in this pub is getting dimmer and dimmer because nobody replaces the lights that are either broken and need replacing.- Dirty tables and chairs.Same problems as always: Lazy managers, who are always absent, have no intention of fixing such problems.Unfortunately they are not ready for that conversation.Review Update: 6/5/2023Two stars for the positives.- The drinks are good.- The food is good.Knocked off three stars for the following reasons:The staff are awful. Poorly trained and rude.There is always new staff here who don't know what they are doing. They never seem to know what drinks to serve.I'm a regular here. I know what drinks I order for my friends as well as for myself. So whenever I ask for a certain drink they always say We don't serve that." That's rubbish. Yet they insist that such a drink doesn't exist. This is when I request to speak to the manager since he is more informed of the drinks than the staff. The manager has to intervene to deal with something simple. This has happened several times now. It's ridiculous.This is because the managers are so lazy they don't bother to train their staff properly.Poorly trained staff leads to poor customer service.Sort yourselves out.Updated review: 6/2/2023Previously I used to be a regular here because the previous manager did a fantastic job of running this pub efficiently. But now that's no longer the case. Now that the previous manager is gone

Dirty. Staff and management don't care. Lucky this is one of the pubs not closing, should be, and keep another site open. I visit a few spoons on a regular basis, this place has the least busiest bar, but yet place is a mess, nobody cleaning tables, tables not wiped, glasses/bottles everywhere on a lot of visits.

Friendly service, clean place and good food with the reasonable price.

This Southgate branch Wetherspoon interior is looking a bit tired. That said I must praise the theirs meal plus drink menu that is excellent value that is much needed in the rising cost of living!

The pub was two thirds empty, but impossible to have a conversation due to groups of travellers shouting at each other at the tops of their voices. Almost all the house ales were off, and the food was half cold. This pub needs a management makeover without delay. Not a pleasant experience.

Visited here this evening and was quiet disappointed with the cleanliness of the venue. The bar was very untidy and by the looks of it hadn’t been wiped down for hours. Maybe short staffed but it wasn’t particularly busy. PED looked grimey too.

This had to be the best local weatherspoons, it offers very cheap meals and drinks. Located on Southgate High Road, this has been the go to for the regulars over the years.The all-day breakfast went down a treat, perfect proportions and very tasty.Customer service is always a pleasure.5* Would recommend from overall experiences.

Decent old skool Spoons, with good ales served well at a decent temperature. Friendly service and a nice crowd of locals. Can be a bit morgue-like at times. £2.66 for guest ales, normally four or five on tap.
