Collage Arms in Peterborough

Tables full of dirty crockery when we arrived at 11am. A waitress came to clear a nearby table and all the chips, crumbs and grot was wiped off the table straight onto the floor. That was at 11am so guess what the carpet would look like at the end of the day after being trodden in. I wanted to ask for a dustpan and brush! Menus and paper thrown under tables. I wiped my table where I sat and found dried egg under ledge where I was sitting. Ugh! Ordered two large all day breakfasts and two coffees. One of the coffee machines was empty but got two coffees from the other one and waited in anticipation... When the breakfasts arrived they were cold and you could tell that they weren't freshly cooked. I had to take them to the bar to ask if they could be heated up. I thought they would at least cook fresh ones but no, they arrived after about 5 minutes hot from the microwave and eggs rock hard. Butter was missing as they had obviously taken the butter off the plates before microwaving so had to ask for more. Even toast had gone into the microwave..! Only ate a small amount after that because it was absolutely tasteless and left the rest. Horrible experience and was supposed to be a treat for my husband who had been to hospital and hadn't eaten since 5pm the night before so was looking forward to it. RUBBISH. Can't wait for our usual Wetherspoons (Drapers Arms) to reopen after refurbishment as we always get a lovely meal there. I've always thought that the College Arms was a spit and sawdust place and it still is. Never return again.

Food was cold greasy,, service well what service toilets stank as did the clientele, avoid use other place on Broadway.

Un personal de esta rara vez que JDW decepcionados con. Dirigido a restringirnos a dieta saludable gracias a nuevo plato de pescado - que habían ido por servidor de tiempo volvimos a comprobar que había disfrutado de comida! Obviamente! No práctico en mitad del centro de la ciudad, para cada comida, desde el desayuno hasta la cena, y todos entre incluyendo café. Gran parada, buenos precios, gran personal.

Saturday night out and had few drinks in here, good service, reasonable priced drinks, we had a good night in here. Good music small outdoor area but will return.

Again I got to this place hoping to have a nice full English breakfast. Sadly I received a breakfast of poor quality. The egg overcooked but cold, bacon undercooked and cold and the beans, cold. In all it was disgusting. The staff very apologetic. I was offered a replacement. The replacement was very much the same. This experience is enough to remember I must avoid this place. The coffee was ok. Two stars for helpful staff though.

The chef in college arms produced the most juiciest tear apart steak, my mouth was watering it just melted in my mouth. My partner has it well done and it was still juicy beyond belief. I will be going every week for dinner. So perfect and the chips was fresh as well and so yummy only thing is the mushroom could be bigger lol x x please go and enjoy. Service was excellent so polite

I waited 5 minutes at the front of a till and despite it being very quiet I wasn't served . A member of staff even went to used the till and she completely ignored I was there. A "I'll be without" you in a minute would of sufficed but it seems even that is too much. Walked out and went to the pub across the road where I was greeted and treated respectfully

Its a nice pub but there is nothing special about it except for the fact of it's city centre location. Decent food, decent beer, good price

A few of us went to the College Arms midweek after an evening curry meal.As we were waiting to be served, we were talking amongst ourselves and laughing as you do, only to be told by some young looking barman to "tone it down". We all looked at each other in disbelief, as we were not being rowdy in any way, shape or form and was just having a typical, enjoyable evening.About 10 minutes later, numerous students entered the bar area and were far louder than we could have ever mustered. Guess what the barman said to them? That's right, absolutely nothing.I can only assume this member of bar staff doesn't want an older clientele in the pub and is only interested in people of his own age. Maybe the management should put a sign above the door in future, saying "no fuddy duddy's allowed"...?

the best pub that serves the best lunch in town centre so fully reccomended by me and my work friends

I have visited The College Arms on a various amount of times. The Staff are always helpful , I myself have a disability and several times I've requested help from the Managers or staff and they are always go out of there way to assist me. Food is always hot and great value for money.

We went to The College Arms with our little boy for dinner in December. It was not late at night or especially rowdy but we were refused Entry by the bouncer, who merely pointed at my son, who was asleep in his pushchair, and shook his finger. He wouldn't even talk to us. Disgusting way to treat customers! Refuse to go there ever again.

Great food and great pub Manager. The pub is a great town pub and the food was very good for the price we paid .

I have visited the College Arms many times over the years and still return, good food and service at great prices, means that it is popular and sometimes difficult to find a table.Always a good atmosphere, and food. Will recommend to those visiting the city centre.

Quick service, friendly staff and food as you'd expect from a wetherspoons. I've been here a couple of times for lunch, as it is close to where I work. You can be in and out within the hour.

The Collage arms is a large Wetherspoons bar, they serve a very good selection of real ale as well as the usual lagers, wines etc, food is well cooked and fairly quick to arrive, they also do a very good breakfast.

We had a very good lunch in Wetherspoons at a reasonable price. Good selection of real ales added to the experience.Although a busy lunch time I only waited around 2 mins to be served.

I have been in the Collage many times since 2006. I have had food here before, sometimes ok sometimes not so good. For the passed two years I then started to use the D Arms for breakfast without any issues at all. I heard from friends that the Collage had improved so because I now live only a matter of a three min walk from the Collage I thought I would give it a go with a breakfast. Well nothing had improved. The eggs, cold!! In fact the breakfast was cold. Sorry Collage Arms it was disgusting full stop.

In any town there is always a decent spoon pub, along with a tacky one. This pub is a tacky one. The staff weren't overly friendly nor attentive. As a real ale drinker I was disappointed with the quality of beers on offer. For a much better choice I would recommend the Drapers in Cowgate. Excellent food and beer.

Decent pub grub at decent price's. The beer is not bad always cold ;) Night life is pretty decent on a Friday and Saturday.

Called in for drinks, seemed to be kept waiting whilst "regulars?" were served.Drinks and prices good, nothing to write home about.

this isn't a place you would want to take your family for a meal,in one corner there are a group of regular dirty unshaven men that are in there from opening time just drinking all day & swearing as one of the staff told me,it gives the place a dirty fusty smell & feel

Me and my fiance ate here for an evening meal as we were staying at a nearby hotel. The atmosphere was great, we took a seat and had a look at the large menu. I went up to the bar to order and the staff were friendly. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. It's family friendly and they have lots of good deals on there food and drink. Would defiantly return if in the area again.
