"Finally, and thank God, this awful dump has been finally shut down, putting the good people of Ferndown out of their misery. Not just the worst Wetherspoons pub in this country, but quite possibly the worst pub in any country. I’m normally positively disposed towards Wetherspoons. I don’t ever think about them, but most of the time they are generally ok and some of the time they are amazing. And while I would never ever go out of my way to get to one, I wouldn’t necessarily walk past one, either. Apart from this one. OK, you can’t fault the beer in any Wetherspoons, and that was also the case here. The beer was always excellent and served properly. That’s if you could get any of the bottom-of-the barrel staff to serve you. Instead of serving customers the staff were more likely to be chatting in the corner, tapping away on their iPhones, adjusting their facial jewellery, comparing tattoos, in short doing ANYTHING except serving customers. And when they could be bothered to serve customers, they’d wander out from their hiding hole yelling ‘who’s next?’. They’d never know who was next. I’d be surprised if they knew what day it was. When I worked in pubs and nightclubs you’d be sacked if you, as a member of the bar staff, didn’t know who the next 5 to 8 customers were in the correct order. You had to have that constantly changing list in your head. You’d be sacked if you shouted ‘who’s next?’. But not here; uselessness was the norm. There were some odd members of staff who tried their best, but they were few and far between. The food ranged from absolutely average at best, to utterly inedible at worst. It was never above average. Since when were chips that always seemed to have been ‘steamed’ a good idea? And it was all dumped on the plate and then thrown down on the table, usually without some of the ingredients listed on the menu as part of the ‘dish’, and with other things that you had ordered and paid for also missing ‘uh, yuhh, we nevuh got any of that, duhhhhh…’ . Occasionally, the so-called bar staff would wear body cams, which always made everyone laugh. The irony is that it should have been the customers wearing the body cams, just to record how dreadful most of the staff but not all of them were at their chosen profession. The rumours are that the building will now be torn down and that apartments be will built on the site. I’m tempted to buy one, not to live in it, but to occasionally use and flush the toilet in memory of this awful dump. Property prices in Ferndown will probably go up in now that it is gone. Not before time. Good riddance."

I invited with my brother and haunch. The property was clean and staff very friendly. Food arrived quickly and was hot and well presented. Overall a very enjoyable experience

We’ve been visiting the nightjar for years as we’re local. Feel standards have dipped of late. Tables are nearly always sticky from previous customer, this morning food was lukewarm, my wife’s porridge very hard stodgy (how difficult is porridge, even I can do it). Voir le carte

Went for lunch on Saturday, around 2pm so past the rush. Served and food brought very quickly. It's Wetherspoons and it's pub grub, but the food was well cooked and presented, with big enough portions what more can you expect for the price? The fruit salad was very fresh and big. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Visited for breakfast as we were passing, food was average I just wish they would serve hotter food instead of rushing to get your food to your table and it’s barely warm. Coffee is that strong you could stand your spoon up in it, I guess that’s because they do free refills and they don’t want you to overdose on caffeine

Advertises gluten free menu, but nothing available. No jacket potatoes. Fish and chips the fish was literally all batter and about the amount of fish you'd get in an average fish finger. It was hard and bony. We used to like this wetherspoons for a cheap lunch, but I'd rather spend a bit more and eat cooked food rather than reheated junk. Voir le carte

Like many Wetherspoons, expect sticky carpets, a fight about to kick off and staff who look as if they 'd rather be working in the charity shop opposite. Their policy on dogs in baffling I was sat OUTSIDE on the PAVEMENT (which they do not own) with my friendly dog on a lead, who was making friends with other patrons. But, because I was consuming a drink from the Nightjar, I was told by a member of staff that 'dogs weren 't allowed '. Needless to say I won 't be returning.

So we ordered Nachos and as we eagerly anticipated our delicious dish, we waited with excitement, as the polite handsome man delivered the Nachos our faces turned to one another in shock and horror. Whilst we currently face a pepper and tomato shortage in the UK we apparently also face a cheese shortage in Ferndown, specifically the Night Jar. We received (wiping tears from eyes poor man doritos with a splash of sausa and guac. To the staffs credit they did reissue the Nachos with the equivalent of a weathered man's 65 year old load on top of our now mildl cold poor man doritos.... All in all, Night Jar is a wonderful place for food and drinks, just beware of the Nachos when ordering as unti...
