Baxter's Court in Hackney

By far the worst steak I've ever had the pleasure of. Tuesday is steak night with the allocated menu provided for this "event". The steaks are the same as the menu just a tiny bit cheaper and for £11.50 I got a grisly chewy, medium rare piece of crop and a handful of chips....no additional accoutrements. Very disappointed, sort your steaks out JDW

Watered down Guinness disgusting

Decent spoons good food pints can be on and off but usually good

Waiting for fish and chips for 45 minutes, then told me fish run out ! Joke

Perfect for the traditional breakfast Fast and nice service Extremely reasonable prices

Had to wait ages for food was not hot. To be fair it was very busy but very under staffed. Waited ages for bar staff to take the order and were not very accomodating. Will not be frequenting again

Great service best spot for drinks

Typical Weatherspoons style drink, food and ambience. Based on my two visits here this is not one of the best for food. Food slow to come out and some foods are hot while others not so. Staff in general are pleasant but one lady bringing food out from kitchen cursing profanities which could be heard in salon. Will use it again for a drink, but food - no thanks. Dark and dingy too. Aprile 2025 visit: food came out dry, stale and room temperature. I would not advise to eat at this Spoons one.

Food does what it says on the tin. You know what you are getting at a Wetherspoon. Service awful, we ordered on app and they delivered drinks on tray, can see we are eating, squeeze drinks on table and walk away with an empty try, not taking away our empty glasses, even when we asked them. We had to put them on the table behind us ourselves.

Can't beat a Wetherspoons!! Breakfast is unbeatable and top up tea and coffee. Drinks are cheap and decent. Best places to go 👌

Went here 2xs throughout the week and I bumped into a staff member called Nikita 10/10 service, she had bright red hair and a smile to pick you up! She was efficient, fast service, and was serving more than one of us at once but she had us all talking and socialising I had to come back! If she wasn’t there, I wouldn’t come back the girl needs a promotion you need more down to earth staff life this

A great watering hole with sound bouncers and a nice outdoor area. 5*.

What a dive. Absolutely awful service, poor food and smells funky

Baxters Court Wetherspoons: Hackney's portal to budget-friendly pandemonium. Decor? A delightful clash of faded grandeur and sticky tables. Food? Beige, plentiful, and perfect for soaking up those incredibly cheap drinks. Prepare for passionate debates about the best way to arrange your condiments, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of a three-pound pint. Leave smelling vaguely of fried sustenance and with a profound sense of "what just happened?" A truly, gloriously British experience.

Very Spoons type vibe, eclectic mix of customers will keep you entertained, and the staff were at all times friendly, fun, and helpful.

I usually love this spoons ( I have been here twice) However i ordered the maple cured bacon with cheddar cheese tis time and although very simple, it was also very cold somehow and took very long… very interesting…

Very good Spoons in central location. Interesting smoking arrangement with a courtyard at the front inside which I liked. Would return here.

Food old fashioned pub kinda feel to it. Locals, passersby. A great place for a good deal-a fab visual input. Very Hackney and all I like about it!

Sad to say one of my fav chains let me down big time. From having 2 male staff members not protect nor defend a female customer from an active sexual harassment. It’s sad to say this is the last time I will frequent. And hope they train their staff better on customer service and care.

Its a nice pub with lots of space, food and drinks are very reasonable. Staff are friendly too. The pub is in a good location as there is a bus stop outside.

Never seen such a miserable bunch of either lazy or untrained staff in my life, when you drop a pre ordered drink at a table you would expect them to access the table and maybe take the empties. Noooo that requires effort and effort here doesn't exist. Toilet cubicles are a discrace aswell .

Easy. Very busy but always consistent with food and drink. Very good value.

It's a good place to spend less money on acceptable quality food and drink.

App not working. Breathtakingly rude bar staff.

What are the cheapest Witherspoon in London

Served by a lovely gent called Orlando, drinks came out within 2 minutes of order very impressed!

The ale selection is not good. Sometimes, the ale is off, yet it’s still being sold. Other times, the ale selection is too high in alcohol by volume (ABV) or it’s not balanced.

I'm sorry please check your cameras from 12 onwards your security staff were on phones and neither looking at the ba r if anything happened they wouldn't know disappointed one one way one the other hope you can resolve this before an accident happens

Terrell was so friendly, greeted us with friendliness and gave us all the service we needed

They're also open a eight,bang! Breakfast it's either English Or Macdo...open 24 hrs at that time of the morning when my job leaves me a meal break,and two vendors in the whole of my London

This is a "middle of the road" and typical Wetherspoons. Good range of beers on tap, very reasonably priced. Quite a large space for sitting including a separate bar upstairs and more seating. Atmosphere is what you expect - a good place to meet for a beer or coffee.

Takes forever for to get an order and then it's wrong

So we were here in a group and ordered drinks and food. A friend of ours got asked for ID and didn’t have a physical card, so she agreed to leave. Up until then, they were rude about every question we asked and everything we ordered. Then the pincher didn’t come with any glasses, so I asked for a glass and tap water. The guy responded with “Go get it yourself, mate.” I went and didn’t find it, so I asked him again, which visibly annoyed him. Then, an employee came to tell us that we had to leave the Wetherspoons. They couldn’t explain to us why and were really rude about it. The literally weirdest and least transparent experience I’ve had in my wonderfully short life.

Prices are great for London, drinks are super cheap. Quality of food is ok, nothing special.

I can't fault the pub. Every aspect was excellent from the food to friendly helpful staff.

Great fish and chips and I finally managed to drink a pint of Scrooge's Revenge.

Typical Wetherspoons. That's all can be said.

It's a Wetherspoons, exactly as you expect.

Ok to eat at not a member of staff asking people not to swear as there was children around

Had a mixed grill, it was by far the worst mixed grill I have ever had, and I have low standards.

okay spoons. prices good. upstairs best and quieter.

Nice staff and the large breakfast was the perfect hangover cure

Food and beer ....very good. The service is slow, you only have to order at the bar, and you can also work in order. Prices for London favorable.

One of the less good Wetherspoons... unfortunately. Not good service, ambience not great either and two very different sized pizzas 🤔

Nice wetherspoons, friendly and welcoming staff. Nice food and great beer. It's very cheap for London. Can't complain 🍺👍

Real ales : Excellent selection and condition. Good service. Everyone likes the food here.

Bit long had to wait before got served, staffs had nowt to do. But still had to wait. Tables needed to be cleared. Lots of people's sitting down watching 📺 or chatting away 🤔 or just sitting down eating or waiting to eat.

Ralph.. Tom and Jordan … beautiful Young Men.. They Make This Place…. Not Just Service… They Look After Their Locals… Beautiful Young Men… You Should Be Proud Of The Men You Employ… 💚🙋🏼‍♀️👌🏼 Bobbi 💚

We did have good, but looking at what others had looked okay. Great service staff were friendly and attentive Drinks were reasonably priced. Good place for drinks and a chat. Will definitely go again when back in London.

Waited for 15 mins to be saved. When I eventually got served, I asked why other customers who came.behind me had been served first and the bar attendant who had filled w out 3 drinks decided not to seeve me. When I asked to speak to the manager, he also refused to serve me without even listening to me. Went in 3 days later with colleagues and was.refised service. Appalling to be honest

Love the vibes, super chilled beer and buffalo fuc**** wings ❤️

okay food (beans not great) okay prices staff seem over worked but still provide good service... Edit** September 2024– Most of the staff seem like they’re unhappy to be here, the portions of food have shrunk a lot, hygiene is rock bottom had to clean our table myself before sitting which also had a KFC bag under it & when my eldest food came on the big appetite plate it was dusty af sent it back new food came out on same plate that clearly just got wiped over with a cloth as it still had some dust on it but my eldest was so hungry I told her eat where the dust isn’t With it now being like this no surprise the place seems dead most of the time don’t think I’ll be coming back to this branch again until it fixes up

Perfect Steak. Lovely chips. Great bar staff. Really can’t recommend the medium rare!

The staff are amazing, friendly and helpful. But I really feel for them as the place itself is depressing, souless and gloomy, full of alcoholic old lushes from opening, some of who like the sound of their own voice. There's more atmosphere on the moon. it's not a place to spend more than an hour in. Still, good for usual wetherspoons grub at superb prices.

I enjoyed my stay in this historic spoons. Great location near a train station, cinema, museum and a Burberry Outlet store. I had a very good ale with no fuss to try before I bought. There's two floors with a first floor terrace. Would definitely go back.

We ordered for a family dinner and my nan ordered a bowl of chips and my brother ordered a rice bowl and all the other meals came out first with chips on them but my nan had to wait 50 minutes for a bowl of chips and when we asked the server what’s happening she just brushed off the complaint and said it’s coming and when we asked the second member of staff how long it would be and she refused to apologise and was very argumentative and belittling and when we asked to see the manager he took 30 minutes to appear and the only thing he offered to rectify the situation was another bowl of chips

40 min wait and Breakfast never arrived. Was not even busy and 3 bar staff had nothing to do. Had to leave as had train to catch

Not sure about food but Ales are Cheap and Lovely

Newer than other Wetherspoon that I have visited. Nice decor and quite clean as well. Food arrived soon after order and services are good.

A brilliant Wetherspons in Hackney. Staff are very friendly, excellent amenities.

Went there for my dinner on Sunday 18 August 24. Very few people in the place. All the tables were dirty and had not been cleaned off. There was delph and glasses, on almost every table, and the customers, that had occupied those tables had gone. Eventually I found one clean table. The service was slow. The food was good, but not hot enough. I was very disappointed with the place, Run down in my opinion, to a very low level. I have been there before on a good few occasions, and it was much much better. I would sooner go to a nearby cafe in future.

True family pub where everyone seems to know each other. I have been here a few times, gets really busy in the evenings. Food is the usual quality, I love wetherspoons food.

Was an ok meal in Hackney, fairly busy as it was a Saturday

I recently visited Wetherspoon for the first time with a friend who recommended it, and it didn't disappoint. The temperature inside was just right, creating a comfortable atmosphere. It's a great spot for meeting up, with everything from the service to the setting being perfect. I'll definitely be back!

Astoundingly good service by an old fellow with a bow tie who served steak and did a check back to see if the food was good a few minutes later. In weatherspoons! And at closing time sang the punters out. Unbelievable. Magic. Deserves an award!!!

Amazing service and staff. A special thanks to Randy he was so welcoming and served us quickly!

Good pint at a great price. Served by Jamie behind the bar who was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend 👍🏻

Robi. Is amazing so is Alex Lee and Sean and Francisco the food man great team I'd love to be part of they are one of the best teams around x

Jordan in Mare St Baxters Court was very help, polite young man who made the evening better by helping us sort an issue out.

Bar area is ok but the gents toilets are an absolute disgrace

Had a lovely time as always at Baxter's good atmosphere service second to none shame about the food very disappointing

Good Wetherspoons Does exactly what you expect Reasonable price of drinks 🍹🍸 Well Located

This place is mediocre, nothing special at all. Drinks are cheap, and it opens later than the other regular boozers. That's it folks. Ps. The toilets are awful. Obviously the powers that be don't read these reviews. Staff, just mediocre. Can't remember who's next to be served. P**s poor.

If you’re looking for a spoons, this is definitely a spoons!

Very smoky when you come into the front but good place

Much more light since I last went there big inprov

ooo hubby and i dropped in here and had the ultimate burger it was so delicious. we will definitely return

Ate breakfast there and the atmosphere was lovely and calm. The food arrived quickly and was well cooked.

I doubt I will return to Wetherspoons Baxter’s Court again. Got my take away order wrong thee times and then the bar tender, lady with the glasses refused to offer me any compensation and had a full blown argument with me as a customer. I then asked to speak to the Manager. She stated she was the Manager, which was a lie. She was rude and unprofessional and huffed and puffed when she was asked to rectify my order, the service was absolutely disgraceful. Had her colleague, tall guy defending her. Going to report her to head office. She has no customer service skills and clearly does not like her job. When I got home and started eating my food, I found a synthetic hair in my mashed potato. Really really disgraceful.

Ordered food, waiting around 45 mins for my food. No show. Went to the bar to ask. apparently they had a problem with their screens which process the orders. No members of staff came over to my table to tell me. So poor.

This pub was my favourite spoon but lately it has been a bit disorganised. Sticky tables, tables not cleared and a couple of rude experiences at the bar. Been going to the Rochester instead. Plus the selfish , normally regular, customers that hog the booths on their own. A couple of the booths fit 6 to 8 people easily and yet it is occupied by one person drinking a cup of tea. Just like hotels booths should charge a single occupancy rate as this is just selfish. Families and groups have to perch round tables causing movement issues for punters navigating aisles and carrying drinks. A surcharge of £10 per every half hour would be nice if just one person occupies a booth.

Another great JDW visited for the first time ... You can't go wrong when you visit a 'Spoons' !!

There will be no bad images to tire your eyes and no traffic noise to hurt your ears. You can be sure.

6 stars of we're really being honest. Empty plates for the kids, off to see some music being played by pur friend Maxwell.

It was really pleasant and nice atmosphere.

Great pub good selection of guest ales and a lovely terrace.

As I was coming downstairs towards the exit there was a terrible smell. It turns out that raw sewage was flowing out of the front door onto the pavement. There were no visible signs to say caution or no cardboard or anything to warn people of this. There was no option but to step in the sewage in which to exit the building. Considering it was pouring down with rain that didn't help matters either. Due to the rain falling I wasn't able to take any photos. As an option the staff could have closed the front doors and given the option for customers to enter and exit through the other double doors.

Food was fine... the only thing is there's drunks and crackheads sitting and gathering as you enter.. I thought I was in an episode of Top Boy at one stage..

Great beer and spirits at a very reasonable price also great menu for food ,,,my fav the chicken wings and burgers.... fantastic atmosphere as well and very friendly helpful staff... 🥂

Average run of the mill Wetherspoons.

Had the Ramen bowl. It was tasty and well made. But the service was terrible. The other food we ordered never turned up and when we asked they checked with the kitchen who said they had no ingredients to make the other item ordered but never bothered to tell us.

Good curry. Nice guys. Miles ahead of the Stokey spoons

Entering the establishment is an interior smoking area before more doors go to the main bar. This might be an issue for people who dislike cigarette smoke. Whist visiting this pub, my coat was stolen so do watch your personal possessions. There are two levels but the upstairs bar was closed. I did not enjoy my experience at this particular Wetherspoons and will not be returning.

This is a typical Wetherspoons pub, the layout of the pub and service is not much different to any other one. Nothing special about this one but still good for a drink and meal.

You get what you pay for, great beer.

Seemed a good one from what I saw, only popped in for a quick pint. Guest ales on at a great price and would definitely pop in again if I was in the area.

My local, best prices for food and drink, has decent atmosphere in there, my only issue is that they let the wafes and strays come in, and it's uncomfortable when they come up to you while eating asking for money other than that love it there

There was no bar staff upstairs. So we ended up staying downstairs instead. Other than that, it is a lovely place to have a drink. The prices are affordable as well.

Had menus on the table that the prices were out of date so got charged for when ordering food, not very clean, not one of the better wether spoons,

It would be a nice place If only the waiters could clean up Wipe the tables Pick up the orders All the tables are full pf things from the previous customers The toilets are like in the film Trainspotting If you order from the app, be ready to wait forever Such a pity since the pub itself is actually nice
