The chain, which has almost 900 establishments up and down the country, offers bargain food and drinks.

After The Goodman's received 4.5 out of 5 stars from paying customers, The Sun Online decided to pay the pub a visit.

During the afternoon rush, happy customers told how they love the cheap drinks and food on offer.

Mira Syryn, 26, is on holiday in London visiting her brother.

Making the trip over from Belgium she said it was the first time she had ever been to a Wetherspoons - and was shocked by one thing it was lacking.

She told The Sun Online: "We're here for four days on holiday.

"This is the first time we've been to a Wetherspoons.

"It's special because there's no music. It's very silent.

"We were told it's cheap here and we were doing a giant walk and wanted to go for a drink after.

"We thought while we're in London 'why not?'"

Brother Jeff, 25, said: "The staff at the bar were really friendly.

"Three pints and a bag of crisps cost £12.

"This is for sure cheaper than other pubs in London. It's like half of the price."

Their pal Hendrik Vandaele, 28, added: "They have Belgian beer so we're happy."

Izzy, 25, lives in London and was enjoying a pint with her friends,

She said: "It's really cheap and cheerful in here.

"The staff are friendly and polite. It's what you'd expect from a 'Spoons."

A couple who live locally said: "We love coming in for a drink.

"You can't go wrong with a Wetherspoons. 

"Cheap drinks and food and the staff in here are really friendly."

One family who were out for the day said: "The food is really good and really cheap.

"The staff are friendly, it's everything you would expect from a Wetherspoons."

Wetherspoons are known for their chilled atmosphere as none of their pubs play music.

A spokesperson for the company said: "Wetherspoon pubs play no music.

"Wetherspoons also has a set of pubs named Lloyds No.1 which do play music.

"But the vast majority of the company’s pubs play no music at all."
