The Acorn Inn Pub in Lichfield

Visited here this evening with my daughter service with the food was quick and nice even though the pub was very busy, I had to ask for our drinks as i nearly finished my food but didn't mind too much about waiting a little longer tables needs clearing probably not enough floor staff on to cater for this even though staff was working very hard. Very nice pub overall keep up the good work 👏

I had a lovely meal and the staff was very well expectantly Katie

Waited 55 mins for food to arrive and when it did it was of very poor standard and cold, I had a refill coffee and all the machines were not working or needed topping up, on the positive side staff were friendly and welcoming if somewhat run off there feet.

Went to Wetherspoon's last night, my server Katie was absolutely wonderful

Katie was an amazing server, felt extremely comfortable with her and she was so outgoing!

I went to Wetherspoons on Wednesday around 4:30 and came just for a quick meal on my own before I went off to work, the young server Katie gave me my food and she was really nice, kind and made my experience that bit better, I think highly of this pub and recommend you to go

We didn't eat there as we booked somewhere else already, but the service was quick in comparison with other Wetherspoon bars even in the rush hours

Had breakfast sandwich but would have preferred cheddar cheese rather than American style. Good coffees but one machine served it hotter than other one. Had to ask for soap in Ladies toilets. Like local history boards.

Worst service bartender was not attentive😡

Very bad customer service. Extremely Disappointed with the Service

Only called in for a beer, this Spoons does what Spoons do well, well kept ales, great atmosphere

Me and my good friend visited here any thoroughly enjoyed our food and thought the service was good and fast through our server Katie👍🏻 all round brill spoons👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant value and great food good atmosphere

My lesagne was a bit burnt at the base. But the tika masala was nice as was the atmosphere.

It's a Wetherspoon. Fairly average as they go. Quite dirty and looking tired.

Emily team leader is a great example of a young entrepreneur, extremely helpful,very friendly It's a shame we don't see more examples of this in life and society today. Well done Emily keep up the good work.

Greatpub for meals . Good value and good service.

Went out for a meal tonight at Wetherspoons Lichfield, and was impressed with the service shown by Katie who served us our meal, at the same time working extremely hard clearing lots of tables of glasses and plates, (obviously a very busy evening), finding the time to have a chat with our table of three people, very polite and very hard working, good to see people smiling whilst working Thank you Katie

Nice place.Abbots beer good .Food was not hot enough and the chicken was not the best but was OK.

Had a brilliant time and lots of cheerful people inside but to top it all off the server was amazing. Short wait time for the food and she came over with the best smile and positive attitude. Katie was the best !

Went for curry night on Thursday , very good food all hot and tasty 😋. As for the pub itself dirty glasses and plates everywhere, had to clear a table and wipe it myself (other people doing the same ) . Food being delivered promptly but at no point did any staff pick up anything as they went past full dirty tables .. need some training never go back to the bar empty handed , it is really common sense TBF 🧐🧐 .

Great ham egg and chips.. delicious enormous pizza. Friendly bar staff who tried to serve everyone promptly even though very busy. Tables cleared promptly. Lovely atmosphere

Went there for breakfast the cook always does it how we ask for it to be done. Shall be going later for a pint.

Nice spoons good service ales are served ice cold should be around 12degrees not good for me and ale conocer

Wonderful food and friendly staff including the waitress Katie, all round good spoons can't complain.

Friendly place good food and a variety of real ales to choose from. There is an outside seating area at the back of the premises. Toilets are on the ground floor and there is a toilet for the disabled. Suitable entrance for wheelchair users.

The best selection of wonderful, tasty dishes and fantastic drink options. Would highly recommend.

Nice part of Lichfield great choice of beers.

Have to say Diana milky and Robbie are great always polite and are great at their jobs, must say I’ll come back again 100%.

Had a great evening here. Service was exceptional. We were served by Milly on the bar who provided great customer service and made our experience even more enjoyable. Would recommend for cheap drinks and great service.

Popped in for a pint of guiness, served by Milly, a lovely pint poured expertly and served with a smile.

Popped in for a pint of guiness, served by Milly, a lovely pint poured expertly and served with a smile. Overall the pub has a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere though can get a bit too busy at the weekends.

Last night came into the pub. Had a lovely meal, curry club deals at their finest and had brilliant bar service from Milly. 10/10

Food portions and the food in terms of flavour was poor. No detail needed as you can see for yourselves. We had asked a waiter/waitress to come and clean out the table. The first one came in and did a good job by cleaning the table of the plates but did not return to finish the job and then the second one who came to wipe down the table, asked us to wipe it down for them. At first glance, it was a mix of clean and cleared tables and messy, dirty tables. I saw numerous plates filled with food awaiting to be dished out to customers, which indicates slow service.

Popped in for a drink. Very friendly staff.

We had a traditional breakfast only Luke warm could have been a lot hotter and the bacon was raw needed to be cooked a lot longer

Went on a Thursday approx 2pm, it was busy hence staff rushed, queue at the bar, serving out of turn, 3/4 wait for fish and chips - lots of glasses stacked waiting to be cleaned. I realise it was busy and a peak time but we have been in other weatherspoons at similar busy times where the staff seemed to cope better notably Swadlincote as an example. Beer (Ruddles) tasted good.

The place was very dirty and in a state of disrepair. A baby vomited on the table next to us, and despite informing the staff, it took them half an hour to clean it up. During that time, people were sitting at the table before realizing the mess. The only positive aspect was the generous portion of onion rings and chips with the burgers.

Had a pint of Abbots and it tasted like vinegar. No thanks.

Enjoyed nice food and drinks in the beer garden. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

The food was amazing definitely recomend coming here if your out and about and the chicken stripes burger is amazing 👏 🤩

Had a great mixed grill waitress was very helpful and pleasant

Absolutely shocking service, I ordered food and a drink over an hour ago whilst it was bassicly empty on a Tuesday evening. Will not be coming back and advise people to never come here!!!

Recommend Friday's for food 12 until 2 , tables always clean and tidy. Kirk very hard worker along with Ellen, and James and Jermaine. Brilliant behind the bar.

Staff detailed to clear tables would have helped. Great to have toilets on the same floor as the bar and the outside seating was a bonus, as few actual smokers there. Pleased to see a simple curry available.

A bit of negativity for the Acorn with reviews on Google Maps. I am completely the opposite. I liked the place a lot. We went for any 3 small plates for £14.95. Pizza 🍕 it is then. Pepperoni, Ham & Mushroom, Spicy Meat Feast. The meat feast was spicy it was hot 🔥 🥵 Harry sorted our order. The drinks and food were spot on. The Acorn is a lovely example of a Wetherspoons pub. I loved the decor, especially the large circular lights in the roof. The bridge in the sky with the balcony. Toilets were clean, more soap in the first dispenser, apart from that better than the last half dozen Witherspoons I gave been in. Well done, Harry and the Acorn.

Town centre pub. Very good prices for drinks. Basic pub grub but good.

.Beer and food are ok but it was a much better pub when it had competition from the other Witherspoons pub near by .Since that was taken over around 6 years ago things not as good. Service for food was quick.Food back to.normal service with plenty of choice. Had the smaller fish and chips with peas. Tasty and just about the right amount . Lasagne is very good here too. A good portion well cooked and tasty.

I do like this Spoons and when we have an early doors (afternoon!) gathering we will more often than not come here. On this particular Saturday (21) although Pride was in town it wasn't what you'd call rammed in here. Yet there were literally tables everywhere not cleared. Dirty plates, glasses, cutlery everywhere. Most of the bar staff looked glum and fed up, one in particular. I took photos of the tables which I was going to upload but at the moment decided not. At times bar service can be a thankless job.....however at the same time if you annoy your customers they'll go elsewhere.......I'm due back in couple weeks, I'll see how it is!

Some Staff need lesson in manners 20 minutes waiting for drink went to bar showed them email receit made me get up wetherspoons app to check I ordered why!!!! I showed receipt, no sorry just face pulling and no manners totally disrespectful

Best breakfast I have ever had at a Wetherspoons, perfect runny eggs and everything was cooked to perfection really! 27/07/2024

Nice pub for inexpensive food.

Fish was undercooked chips were hard we waited half hour no apology wasn’t even busy. Tables were full of dirty plates and empty glass disgusting. Will not be using again.

Too loud and noisy. Toilets are awful and the service was slow. More attention to table service than bar service. Tables are full of used plates and cutlery. They have the staff, but there is no care for their jobs.

Very busy. We often pop in for a quick bite of lunch as it's priced well, and food is decent with a great choice. Can be very busy and hard to find a table at peak times.

I only gave it 5 stars as it's a spoons with a bog on the same floor as the bar! A rare occurrence.

Filthy everywhere. We eat and drink in Wetherspoons across the country every other weekend and always have a fabulous experience. This one was not good at all. Had to sit at uncleared tables with food debris everywhere (noticed a lot of other people were the same). Dirty glasses everywhere. The hot drink station looked like it hadn't been cleaned for months. Condiments ALL empty. Food came cold. I hate to write this because of our previous excellent experiences but this was bad.

Better than the average Wetherspoons.

Usual weatherspoon pub. Nice atmosphere

Great vegan breakfast. So much cheaper than anywhere else in Lichfield. Coffee great and free refill. Really quiet and great service. Why wouldn't you ?

The Acorn was calling us. We were halfway on our journey and Lichfield seemed like an ideal place to stop and have a spot of breakfast. And so we headed into The Acorn to sample the delights of the towns Wetherspoons pub. Everything was in it's place just as it is in every other 'Spoons in the country. Bar, crappy, awful carpet, a few booths offering a tiny amount of privacy. It was all there. Now time for food... Two traditional breakfasts soon arrived and looked to be heading into the top echelons of our Wetherspoons food marking system. Bacon cooked and hot. Sausage not charred and similarly warm. Toast toasted to perfection and butter in a slab rather than the fluid that often appears. Beans that looked reasonably fresh and not possessing a skin on the surface that would need carving through. Hash browns with a potato centre that was positively molten completed the feast. The coffee was a welcome addition and the meal was a triumph. And Lichfield was well worth the visit. Recommended.

Great service from Danni, which makes a change to the usual service we get here. She pulled a good pint and found me a straw when I asked for one.

Came in for a quiet pint this afternoon Danny served me quick and efficiently, always got a smile on her face and served a great pint.

Dani, a lovely girl who works there came and cleaned down the booth we sat at to make it clean. We ordered drinks on the app and they arrived really quickly. Very reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere. Not too busy and a very pleasant environment to be in. I have to say that the staff here work hard to make your visit a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. Thanks to Dani again. Looking after us and keeping everywhere looking good.

Came for a quick lunch, and ordered a double American cheeseburger. No cheese, no gherkin, no salad and two burned to a crisp burgers. No side salad and about 9 chips. The worst spoons food I've ever had and I visit them all over the country.

Had an amazing breakfast. emily one of the bar staff was amazing and helpful.

Excellent value for money, friendly atmosphere and great staff, especially Ellie for her professional and happy approach

Great choice of drinks, very reasonably priced. Food arrived nicely cooked and clearly freshly done. Good choice on the menu too. Good vibe in the pub, tables nicely spaced out. Good friendly attentive service by Chloe

Came for a meal here recently had a small issue with one of our main courses, asked to speak to a manager. Kayleigh was lovely, professional and the issue was sorted straight away. She's an asset to the company. Will most certainly be returning

Recently visited, really good atmosphere. Kayleigh was really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be back

As someone with anxiety, spoons can be very overwhelming - especially when the bar is busy. Harriet was so patient and friendly and immediately put me at ease. 10/10 service!

My ‘local’ for 17years, always a warm welcome from very friendly hard working, efficient, and professional staff. One in particular Kayleigh, who was recently promoted to a supervisory position, a fine decision by Management, for her personality, customer care, highly motivated, a credit to Wetherspoons!

Very lovely service by kayleigh

The best place to pre drink on a night out in lich Vegas before walkabout!! Kayleigh is so lovely, always a pleasure to be served by!!

Kayleigh was very friendly and efficient, we would go again

Our server Kayleigh was lovely, friendly and helpful.

Great food, drink and service. Thanks Kayleigh!

Kayleigh brought a good atmosphere to our visit.

I’ve been to the acorn inn a fair amount times recently and the service has always been spot on, and the bar staff are always so welcoming upon arrival. Recently been served a few times by a girl called milly r on the till and she’s always been so chatty and friendly every time I get a drink.

Had a few drinks here, which was nice and Kayleigh made our experience extra special making us feel at home and being helpful and polite. Would visit again just to chat with her.

Kayleigh provided great service today

Kayliegh was fantastic and an amazing, hard working staff member

Had a fantastic meal and a few drinks here, great customer service from Kayleigh, really on the ball and helpful.

Popped in for a quick coffee on Monday, wasn't too busy and was fairly tidy. It was easy to get a seat. Was served by a Kayley, she was friendly and quick. She complimented me on my hair, really appreciated the kindness! Made my day! Staff generally all seemed polite, had a good atmosphere. Would go again.

Served by Chloe P who challenged me to a fight 😂🤣 real character and a credit to the pub 👊👍😂

Excellent service from a team member called Kayleigh who brought the food over quickly and nade sure my neal was not just okay but perfect. Also always going the extra mile mentioning the usage of app and made and brought it to my table swiftly. Couldn't have been happier! Food was astoningly well presented and delicious the drink I ordered from the bar had excellent service too. 1 staff member was running down the bar though. Definitely a health and safety scare as floors behind bars can be slippy. Overall brilliant experience.

I had some amazing food today i ordered on the app I had the buttermilk chicken burger and chips it was sooo tasty and I have to say the young lady that brought my food over was such a joy and so pleasant and bubbly she really did brighten up my day her name was India she had the coolest hair

The customer service provided by Harriet behind the bar was excellent!

Great help from Kayleigh today 😁

Dan & Kayleigh Fantastic Staff Always Polite & Welcoming :)

Kayleigh gave excellent customer service

Went for dinner here on a Tuesday (steak club). The steak was what you’d expect from a spoons, good value for money. Service was amazing from a lady called Chloe G. Would definitely come back after how welcoming she was. Give her a raise !!!

Was served by a young lady named Harriet. She was welcoming, hospitable and really made us feel at home! Thanks, Harriet!

Great service, great meal even better staff member who I believe was a young lady called Chelsea K..

Brilliant service and cocktail pitchers from Harriet!! Thank you!!

We frequent Weatherspoons Lichfield a lot. Harriet is very efficient, remembers your drink orders, and is always polite. She is a credit to Spoons 🙌

Amazing customer service from Kayleigh will definitely return x

Kayleigh is a superstar and managed to fulfil my needs and it was the happiest of endings I have experienced within a hospitality environment

Use this place regularly. Perfect location and all staff hardworking and pleasant special shout for Chloe G who's always very attentive and polite

Amazing bar staff Harriet really looked after us even though the pub was so busy! Would definitely recommend.
