'Britain's lowest rated' Wetherspoons revealed in region – new research
A Wetherspoons located near a popular airport has been ranked as the UK's lowest rated in new figures.
The Atrium, at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, has been dubbed as one of the UK's 'lowest rated' Wetherspoons in statistics based on Google reviews.
Research conducted by Q.R. Code Generator analysed a list from the Wetherspoons website, comparing Google feedback from 869 Wetherspoons pubs and hotels across the UK.
In the list, Birmingham's The Atrium was listed as having received only 20.19 per cent of their reviews as 'excellent' making it the lowest-ranked Wetherspoons in the UK, receiving the fewest five-star reviews.
A spokesperson for Q.R. Code Generator said: "Wetherspoons is a staple pub across the UK, loved by all age ranges for multiple reasons, such as affordability, atmosphere and consistency.
"It's interesting to see which Spoons have the best excellent ratings based on the public's opinions and which areas of the UK have the highest standards of the pub chain.
"The research reveals that pubs located on the seaside are popular within the top 10 best-rated, and it's fascinating to see two Leed's Wetherspoons located 1.5 miles apart placed fifth and sixth."
Also featured in the list was The Elizabeth York, on St Mary's Row, Birmingham, which received only 33.16 per cent of its reviews as five stars, making it ninth among the UK Wetherspoons with the fewest 'excellent' rated reviews.
Responding to the statistics, Wetherspoons spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “ The Atrium, Wetherspoon’s pub at the NEC, is an extremely popular and well-managed pub.
"It receives tens of thousands of visitors each year.
"We give scant regard to the statistics which take into account only a tiny fraction of visitors.”
