The Swatters Carr JD Wetherspoon

We visited for drinks recently with friends. Good Service and atmosphere. One of the better Wetherspoons we have been in.

Overheated and manager rudely stated it was cold so wouldn't open door or lower heat. Everyone was complaining as to how hot it was in there. Dirty tables overflowing with glasses. Dirty bathrooms.

Typical Wetherspoons, cheap and cheerful, food was ok, thatchers gold was on form as always, if anything the place needed redecorating, but there’s not much point when there was so many students in. Ver carta

Some of the bar staff came over to me and accused me of causing a scene in the pub a week ago. however i wasn’t even in the pub a week ago which i find very bad considering i suffer with bad anxiety. They should make sure they know who exactly was causing a commotion before they accuse people.

We enjoyed our food and sat having a drink but my goodness it was so loud, people were laughing almost screaming then a table of men and women came in and it was worse. It's not the restaurants fault but although we enjoyed the food we had to leave, it was far too noisy. Sorry guys, would come back if in the area.

Lunch on the way to The Titanic exhibition in Middlesbrough at the Swatters Carr was a real treat. I asked the kitchen not to char grill or burn my chicken and they obliged with a lovely succulent half chicken with mash and gravy. The member of the kitchen staff I asked was polite and really helpful and a credit to the Wetherspoons brand. My lunch partner had a burger which was also delicious. The pub itself has a lovely atmosphere with what seem like happy customers enjoying their afternoon. Definitely a good spot to spend an hour and eat. Ver carta

I have been here numerous times for breakfast and Swatters and their brilliant staff always deliver. Nearby parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays. You have to go early if you prefer to sit in a booth, but there are always tables avaliable early morning. Service is always fast and friendly. I have tried the full breakfast, American breakfast, Eggs benedict which was cooked to perfection. The food is always hot and delicious. They have great Vegan options too. You cannot go wrong with weatherspoons and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Looking forward to my next visit already!

It is what it says on the tin, but the staff are pretty hard to beat, all things considered. The manager is one of the best pub managers I've seen works hard at keeping the place in order. All the nonsense about all the staff getting fired to work at Tesco every single one of the team of about 30 can be seen again on the floor after lockdown... so that was all woke hysteria. We come here often because the prices are unbeatable, the meals are the same standard as most pubs in Teesside, just better value when you factor in the added drinks deals. And the staff are better than in a lot of other places too. So there.

Due to a very late arrival in Middlesborough on a Friday night we were somewhat limited as to eating establishments. With some trepidation we fell back on the trusted Wetherspoons and decided to give the Swatters Car a go. The place was heaving but the friendly security staff advised us that food was still being served. Fortunately we managed to find a table in a relatively quiet area. Our order was processed very efficiently at a very busy time and in no time at all our food was served. Hats off to the staff for doing such a good job with the place so busy.The Wetherspoon menu is somewhat limited compared to days gone by but a lot of the usual favourites are still there. They also have a go... Ver carta
