Yates Newcastle-u-lyme

You know what? There's a certain stigma attached to Yates's and Wetherspoons, and really, it's a bit unfair. Hot Steve's sister had the first part of her hen do here last night and we had a brilliant time. The bar manager was incredibly attentive and helpful and we were made to feel like VIPs the whole time. We got balloons and some free bottles of fizz and our very own cordoned off area, and priority at the bar it was fab. We pre ordered our food and everyone was happy with their meals I had the smoked haddock fishcakes and they were tasty : So, in conclusion, a right fun night that didn't break the bank. Well done Yates's, you got yourself five stars.

Watered down spirits! Good dance floor and some what good music but defiantly watered down spirits

The cheap food which is always on offer is definitely a bonus for going here. The friendly staff are there to help, but as standard bar staff! A friend and I had an experience recently where the food came out and it wasn 't the right order, and also we got refused alcohol because I was apparently underage . Where in their right mind would I ever look 18 or under? I 'll never know. Anyway, I then complained to the bar woman who 's seen me in there before, and as a consequence I got my alcohol (yay! and as it was my friend 's birthday, they also gave us a free bottle of champagne. Perfect! I 'd recommend it as the £1.99 meals are nice. If you go in on a Monday, there are more £1.99 deals on offer!

Very cheap drink but very dirty place with ripped seats and scratched tables. It's just about acceptable if you want a cheap drink.
