I gave this pub one star but to be quite honest I would have given it a minus. Worst meal I have ever had. Child’s portions for an adult, tasteless and looked like it had been cooked and reheated a few times, mashed potatoes were grey and hard and I could go on for ages. The only good thing about the place was the staff who were excellent

Visiting Chesterfield for the first time in ages we decided to have a quick bite to eat . Not familiar with the lay out , we ended up sitting near to the downstairs easily accessible toilet . At the time I didn’t think anything of it , the loo was used by several people, mainly mature . We had our meal and very nice it was , chicken baskets , both piping hot and served quickly by a very polite member of staff . Just before we left my husband decided to nip to the loo, bearing in mind it had been used by at least 6 other people. As my husband came out I realised that I could hear the hand dryer being used …… for the first time ! There are no paper towels ….. this means that the other people did not wash their hands . Yuck 🤢!!! I know this is not the pubs fault but come on ……. Wash your hands !!

Visited here on Thursday night for a cheap meal with my husband and 6 year old. It's a Wetherspoons but I must say one of the nicest we have been to. Food was hot and came out quickly, staff were friendly and the whole place had a nice feel to it, nice mix of people enjoying a quiet drink. Would definitely recommend.

My partner had a lovely meal out, but was disgusted by how long it took them to serve a cold beverage, which made him nearly miss his allocated bus time. When it got to the point where he should ask where is his cold beverage the lady quickly brought it to his table, but it was too late. He asked for his un-drunken (paid for) beverage to go to the table in front, but the lady blatantly ignored his request and took the beverage back into the kitchen where I can assume a member of staff would slosh it down their throat!!!

Visited spa lane vaults for brunch on a Friday midmorning. The resturant was not too busy and finding a table was easy. I ordered at the bar and decided to try the breakfast menu and refillable hot drink my food was delivered quickly the pancakes we're hot and delicious and I was able to enjoy two cups of coffee as I read the Wetherspoons magazine.

Always quite like Chesterfield and went to the Spa Lane Vaults for a coffee, nothing more. Wetherspoons pubs always have that comforting feeling of being absolutely identical which one you might be in. Obviously, this is no different. It was ok without being spectacular. Comfortable without being homely. And as usual the male toilets were the usual blend of urine on every surface other than any made of porcelain. It would appear that when in a Wetherspoons toilet it is fashion to fit some sort of sprinkler system to the male genitalia and just aim at anything and pray. I washed my shoes and left

Called in for breakfast before we caught the train. The pub was really busy with Chesterfield fans, despite this we got served quite quickly. I ordered the eggs benedict and the wife had the traditional breakfast, again despite how busy it was the food arrived with out too much wait. I really enjoyed my eggs as did the wife with her breakfast, including drinks roughly about £12, excellent value for money. Well done Spoons.

Met up for breakfast Sunday morning and it wasn’t too busy so got a choice of tables. I had the traditional breakfast at £4.60 with basically 1 of everything except 2 hash browns and a slice of toast which was nice but just warm enough to eat so would of been better if hot. We opted for the hot drinks with free refills at £1.35 each all of which we ordered off the app saving queuing time.

We use Spa Lane often, as we do with most Spoons. Yesterday Sunday was somewhat different in Spa Lane. The tables were noticeably dirty, one table had several plates of uneaten food left on it, it remained for most of the time we were in and we stopped for about 2 hours. The two bar staff, I've not seen before were un interested and clearly miserable, what has happened to what was and should be a good pub. I know spoons aren't known for their hygiene but yesterday's visit was disappointing.

Slightly quieter than the Portland and not quite as big but still has it's fair share of weirdos and believe you me, there are plenty of those in Chesterfield. Extensive choice of drinks and as you would expect from JDW, reasonably priced. Good selection of real ales but it is hit and miss, whether or not you get a good pint. Some of the staff have a tendency to slam your pint down on the table, spilling what little head was on the beer in the first place. There is nothing worse than a flat pint. I love the ordering by app from your table. It's a vast improvement from endless queuing at the bar. Sadly the usual bum numbingly uncomfortable seats let this and all Wetherspoons I have so far come across, down.

It's a Spoons, don't expect too much. Portions tend to be small, although we'll cooked and presented. I had the all-day brunch. Filling and wholesome. The carpets were in need of good debris being removed off them. Par for the course at this chain. Overall, if you're not too fuss, good cheap meals and endless coffee.

Spot on breakfast. Doesn't matter that the staff are robotic the food is great. Classic spoons never seems to change. You come, you eat, you go, you come back again in the future regardless of where you are in the country, that's how a good chain runs. Owner of the business might be a selfish mop headed cretin with zero staff values but hopefully that will be sorted eventually.

First stopped and demanded that we wear masks and huffed when shown our exemption status (not happy that have to explain my disability to strangers) then found a table to be told we couldnt sit there because it only had 4 chairs and there were 4 adults and a 9 year old. Had an offer from another tabke that was for 6 but only 2 people sat at it to change tables and told it wasnt allowed. What an absolute load of crap, must be that they can afford to lose custom because certainly wont be going back in and no end of tables for 6 and for with just 1 person sat at them.

Came after gym sessions, came in the evenings with friends, came on dates, the place was so physically packed because of the scheme and I was repeatedly one of them.But the staff did a perfect job of keeping it all in order. The door staff didn’t keep anyone waiting long, the food was still fast to arrive, and lovely, and the front of house staff were all over it.Had to post something to thank you guys for being so good throughout August, I know it can’t have been easy

Four people for lunch one of these people were young and in a wheelchair and only able to eat blended food. So I ordered my young friend a larger child's meal. I spoke to a lovely young man behind the bar and we decided upon the sausage mash and beans meal but minus the sausage. And went for a sprinkle of cheese. The food came and there was the smallest scoop of mash on a large plate with beans and a teaspoon of cheese.I hardly ever complain usually the opposite. With a giggle and in good spirits I took the plate to the bar. The nice young man asked if everything was ok I showed him the plate and said there wasn't enough to make a meal especially the bigger appetite one at more cost. He understood straight away and all I asked for was another scoop of mash.The manager came up and said no!The nice young man tried to explain about no sausages on the meal. He still said no!In shock I asked again he said No.Wow unbelievable.Last week at the Burlington. I ordered mash . Mushy peas and gravy. They Broughton it all out in separate dishes plenty Of.And made it look lovely.Spa Lane Vaults. What is your problem

Came in with my girlfriend to order food as we had been out shopping and the weather was miserable. I ordered a BBQ chicken pizza with pepperoni added (extra £1) charge. When it came out the employee called my pizza a spicy meat feast (not what I ordered as I am allergic to tomato) we complained politely to be told they couldn’t change the pizza. When I asked for a refund I was told no as I have been given what I ordered. The employee was also saying all of this with a grin on his face. If you order from here I hope they get it right or you will be labelled a liar and stared at by all staff members like you should be ashamed that you wanted what you’ve ordered. The order cost me £10 and all I could consume was the pint or cider that I ordered.

When we go out for the day we almost always lunch at Wetherspoons as we know that the quality of food is consistent in every establishment. Our food can surprisingly quickly considering how busy it was and the only reason I have not given excellent s that a waitress passed every table in the lower half of the place to ask if she could take our salt. i said we would need it bringing back for our own food, but it never came back and my husband had to then go and look for some more.

Quite busy for any early evening, but service at the bar was quick. Ordered via the app, and again service is fast. Server must have been new, but couldn't find the table, not a problem. Food was okay, eggs were rock hard, peas were bland no condiments were offered, cutlery was clean ,but sharp knife and a fork that would not go through a baked potato is a bit sad. All in all a good pub plenty of atmosphere,just I had a few niggles, I'm sure it won't happen again.

It's a Wetherspoons. As regular users of this pub chain we visited the Spa Lane Vaults for a meal prior to a theatre visit. Whilst the menu throughout the chain are standarised there is something for everyone and the food is normally of a good quality.

Okay so it was the first working day after New Year’s Day and the pub was very quiet. As a Single diner I find it helpful to choose my table and then order using the Wetherspoons app on my phone. This means I don’t have to venture to the bar and risk the table. Having placed the order my drink arrived without delay and then a short wait for the food. As it was chicken night I chose the chicken platter. At £8.75 including a drink this is great value and I have chosen this on occasion before when using spoons. It makes a change to be able to report that the whole meal was piping hot and the service was friendly with a couple of check backs to make sure everything was okay.

My family have been coming here for years, we really enjoy coming on steak night, we came on steak night this week and sat down at our usual table and next to us were four women at a table being very loud shreiking and throwing in the odd F word, our steaks came and they were excellent as usual as was the service, however all through our meal it was accompanied by the increasingly loud shreiking it almost felt like we had intervened in an exagerated laughing competition, we did not complain as it is suposedly a pub and not a chapel of rest or mausoleum, at one stage i went to the bar which was at the other end of the pub and both i and my son could hear the shreiking from there, while my son and i waited for my partner to finish her G and T my son and i started making the wine glasses ring by rotating our fingers on the rim which was about a tenth of the noise we had been subjected to and in very short order a female member of the barstaff came up to stop us making the noise i ponted out to her what we had been listening to all through our meal and the contradiction inherant in her position her response was that she had not heard anything and that i was "being funny", i suspect that had we been female and shouting and swearing in tune with the wine glasses nothing would have been said, we felt that we had been singled out and victimised by this person who appears to have highly selective hearing, she also made a comment about me having good hearing and thats the reason i found the other table loud, it was my son who pointed out i have industrial hearing loss so zero out of ten for disabilty sensetivity, the impression i get is if you are female and extremely loud and foul mouthed then it is a pub, if you are male and over sixty then the place for you is to be as quiet as a morgue. dont be put off by my review the meals and bar and waiting staff service is good, if you are a man go in in carpet slippers and whisper very quietly.

I came to spa lane with my friends for a few drinks and food before going out for a family friends birthday, lovely service at the bar, ordered food through the app like any other time (always have the same order with no worries) and asked a member off staff if the nachos could come without the sauces ( as my body isn’t allowed them) the member of staff went into the back to inform the chefs and the food still came out with all the sauces on. I told the waiter we ordered without, and instead of simply taking it back to swap the order he said he needs to get a manager. The manager Emily came out and spoke very rudely to me saying she can’t change the order now the chef has made it, I made it very clear to the manager Emily that I can’t eat them, I’m not able to! I would if I could to avoid hassle but I genuinely can’t! She said there was nothing she could do or was going to do and insisted that I left after finishing the rest of the food. Me and my friends could not believe the way she spoke to me and how she dealt with the situation, she was very rude and snappy and did not deal with the situation in the correct manner. If Emily can’t correct the simple issues within the restaurant, how is she ever going to be able to deal with the bigger ones? Definitely in need of new management. Awful service.

We had to leave due to the uncomfortable temperature come on its the end of October absolutely no need for air con to be on if the staff are hot behind the bar a couple of fans would suffice I'm sure really not a warm place to be on a very cold afternoon.

came in like normal for a usually nice meal unfortunately this is not what I recieved. in unpleasant welcome with rude staff at the bar that just seemed to make ordering a meal and a drink seem like we were asking the world from him. we ordered eventually and sat down at a table with our drinks...a short while after our food arrived and the order was completely wrong.. so we sent it back...not long after the correct meal arrived at our table....unfortunately I had to sent that back because the bacon on my burger was literally fridge cold...safe to say I won't be returning again...

We went to this Wetherspoons for a meal before the cinema on a Monday evening, so not very busy. When our food came it was only luke-warm (pizza and chili con carne), and the server told me that the sour cream dressing which should have come with the chili was not available. We were not told this when we ordered, only when the food was delivered, and no refund was offered, although I was asked if I would like something else in place of the sour cream - but there is nothing else that is even apporximately the same, is there? Had I known before I placed the order I might have chosen something else.

Spar Lane is the best go-to place in Chesterfield and a place I visit often. Service is fantastic, food quality is always very good and it has the traditional weatherspoons feel to it. Great place to go with family and friends any time of the day. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Chesterfield to drop in and pay Spar lane a visit.

I have no issue with the staff at all but I went in with my family for a meal and a non alcoholic drink and when I went to purchase two non alcoholic drinks for me and my mum I got asked for ID... For non alcoholic drinks.... Its such a joke that me and my family aren't allowed to be in the restaurant as I'm 17, after 8pm as its their "policy" even though we only wanted a meal and non alcoholic drinks. It's such a joke, definitely wouldn't recommend

Service was slow (it took about 40 mins to receive my food). However the peas were delicious and the milk was seasoned to perfection. It's a shame the red onion, ham and chip shop curry sauce never arrived. Jim McDonald

Called in early Saturday evening and it was jammed packed however as we were taxiing our daughter we had time to kill so not a problem time wise. We ordered our meals with drinks and we were served within 15 minutes and the meal was excellent.

If it’s hot when you go in , you will have icicles hanging off your nose when you come out .. the air con is on all the time, people are wearing coats and shivering and the food gets cold quickly ,,, you mention it to staff and they tell you that ‘they are rushing about and to them it’s hot’ , so forget the customers and just get on with it !!

Car parking is where you can find it in town centre. Big building so plenty of seats inside and out.

Slightly cramped layout and a tiny beer garden/smoking area. The staff are friendly however and the food is the same as every other Wetherspoons

I've been here several times and have always been pleased with my meal. It's a typical Wetherspoon's menu, covering a wide range of dishes. Great value for money, especially on those dishes which include a drink (soft or alcoholic). Recommended.

We visited here a few times over a two day period. A good selection of food and drinks are available and the staff are helpful. The bar could have been cleaner as the tables were sticky and needed to be wiped clean. A popular pub with locals and can be busy at times.

What do you expect when you go to weatherspoons? I know I am always gonna get good cheap food and drink. Good staff quick to serve. The number of people in says it all. Me and friends always attend before the football on a Saturday for a breakfast which is loads better than the Burlington breakfast btw, and always get great food. Can’t beat it for the price.

Service was very good today. Friendly and helpful staff. Good is of a good quality. We had burgers which tasted great but nothing special. I had the ultimate burger and it was just a basic cheese burger with pickle. Kids portions are a perfect size and they were very happy.

We had lunch here on Friday. Most tables were taken and the only available tables were near the doors, so it was very cold when they were opened for people to have a cigarette break. It would be better if they installed a double door porch, to keep the warmth in and stop people getting a blast of cold air when they're trying to enjoy a meal. Our food was delivered promptly and it was very filling and good value for money. I alway forget though, that the food it pretty instant, which is not always a good thing.

We always go every week. And have done for some time. But the cake portions have become pitiful and for the money it’s quite disgusting the size of cake you get now. It’s frozen cake and it used to be a good size and nice for a treat. The staff aren’t always that friendly and if you ask for your drink extra hot. It’s hit or miss whether this happens So because of this I feel the need to review the cafe as we are now going elsewhere where and it’s a shame because we like it in there. The staff say the portion sizes of the cake are pre cut when it comes. (Frozen) but I’ve been going here for years and I know that they’ve made them smaller and the prices higher.

We visited Willow Springs cafe and soft play regularly prior to lockdown, and this was our first visit since they re-opened. The new outdoor play area is a breath of fresh air for families desperate to let their kids get back to normal - a clean, safe space for children to play whilst parents can enjoy a drink at the spaced tables. Staff were really friendly and we had a great time. Will definitely be returning!
