For people that are not British BE AWARE.
I am going pretty often to this pub, and today Saturday 22 Feb. this security guy, older guy, short hair with 1 earing was clearly racial profiling us.
It was me, my brother and his gf.
He all of a sudden stopped us from going in because he said my brother's gf needs to show ID (she is 33, and it's very obvious ), and other people entering right in front of us with much younger people they never say nothing.
She didn't have ID on her so we complied despite everything, had to go home and take her passport with us, we went back and after we showed him he checked that passport like for 2 minutes and i just said this " ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? "
And that's all it needed for this "man" to get so offended and asked us to leave.
He started arguing and keep saying we have to leave because I have an attitude, Me not him, not him that he clearly racial profiling us from the start .
Very disgusting behaviour, and i can't believe i experienced this in UK in 2025
I really liked this pub before, but this security guy is a complete racist, and i am really shocked that the pub sided with him, and i will not let this slide so easily because this can't really happen in UK.
I asked what is his name and of course he refused to give it to me.
I will make complaints to citizens advise bureau, ERHC, and Acas, just to make sure others don't experience the rasism of this security guy as well.
Will contact the security company he is employed as well and and see if they accepting this kind of behaviour from their staff
I am very disappointed about this and will not let this go away like that.

I went at 8:00 a Old Guy, with earring in 1 war with glasses, he says i can't go inside without ID, but others went inside without ID, British People . I went home i took it and show it and still didn't want to let Me , My Boyfriend and His Brother inside! That's rasist ! No one didn't fight with him and say anything just :"Are you happy now?" He went very angry and started an argument. Lol . And kick us out. He waited for this , it's true he didn't like it Foreigners.

Why i bother going to witherspoon for food i don't know. It's always crap. Dross on plate, no matter what you order. Beer selection is very good though.

Stopped in to work for a few hours between appointments. What a rare find! I appreciate a Spoons for the value, but this one should be loved on it's own merits. Spotlessly clean, the small veggie breakfast was delicious, fast service, not a sticky table to be found. Honestly, I was struck by how well used it was, not a hint of the stereotypical Spoons morning drinkers, this was filled for the morning and lunch. I settled in and got my work done in comfort, served at the table by lovely staff who really went out of their way to look after people. I will be returning on my next trip to Barnsley. This Spoons is not only the best I've ever seen, but, I think it's up there in the top 10 of any pub I've ever visited.
