Hertfordshire Wetherspoon pubs ranked by Google Review ratings

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 19:28 · Archive

A study of Wetherspoon pubs ranks The Crown in Berkhamsted as Hertfordshire's best-reviewed location, with The Three Magnets in Letchworth as the worst.

A study by mobile bar hire company Spin and Shake has ranked Wetherspoon pubs across the UK and Hertfordshire by Google Review ratings. Nationally, Walham Green in Fulham achieved the highest rating at 4.6 stars. The original study examined only the ten best and worst pubs nationwide, but the Watford Observer compiled ratings for all Hertfordshire locations.

Four Hertfordshire Wetherspoons shared the top rounded score of 4.2 stars: The Star in Hoddesdon, The Pennsylvanian in Rickmansworth, The Crown in Berkhamsted, and The Port Jackson in Bishop's Stortford. To determine the winner among these tied pubs, the study's methodology used exact, non-rounded averages and the lowest proportion of one-star reviews. This calculation left The Crown as Hertfordshire's best Wetherspoon, with The Port Jackson following very closely behind.

At the opposite end of the rankings, The Three Magnets in Letchworth emerged as the county's worst-reviewed Wetherspoon.

Bryan Levato, director of Spin and Shake, observed that despite Wetherspoon's consistency across locations—with identical menus, prices and apps—Google Review ratings vary significantly between pubs. He noted that many pubs at both ends of the ratings spectrum are relatively new establishments. 'When a new pub opens in a great building and the team behind the bar gets the basics right from the first week, people can't say enough about it,' Levato said.
