Hi everyone! I have a question for any current/ex employees (especially hiring managers)

I worked at my last job for a few years, then management changed and eventually I left due to differences in opinion. I thought things were okay but they’ve since given me a negative reference since just to be spiteful. The new manager had an incredibly difficult personality to work with. So, if I apply at any Wetherspoons but don’t have a reference for my last place of employment will that deter them from hiring me? I do really need a job.
I’ve only worked at this place for multiple years so if I remove it from my CV it looks like I have no experience and I’m in my mid to late 20s, so it looks odd.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
