The Amber Rooms in Charnwood

Got singled out for being apparently drunk after half a pint, bar staff were rude and forced me out the premises, never go to this place again

We went on sunday the 26th of November for breakfast.we go regularly on a Sunday unfortunately this wasn't as good as normal.we had a full English breakfast which came out cold.The third member of our party ordered separately within a couple of minutes of our order,our breakfast came out and after 15mins there was still no sign of his breakfast. When he approached the bar to asked where his breakfast was, he was told not to be so aggressive. They had missed his breakfast altogether. It then came out after we had finished our cold breakfast.

Ok, but too many students in there.

A better weathspoons now Dan is managing the pub ... the only spoons in Town

Food was OK but chips were only luke warm and nobody came to ask us if it was ok

Came here for dinner to pass time while our daughter was at the fair the waitress upstairs is totally ignorant not friendly at all I asked her nicely to clear the table she did when I asked if she would clean it please when she bought our drinks no manners at all no reply to our thanks for cleaning the table just a miserable look on her face and walked away with an attitude I get its busy and she may be stressed but customer service isn’t hard to maintain especially when someone is polite to you.

Really good Spoon's this. I visited on a Friday night while the fare was on and it was rammed so I ordered on the App. Large chilled Pinot Grigio arrived very quickly shortly followed by my fish and chips. £12.51 all in. Absolute bargain. It was delicious. Brilliant service despite how busy those poor staff were. Thank you 👍

Had the fish and chips deal with a drink. Very good value. The barman we had on the top deck was very courteous and a credit to wetherspoons a good reason to come agaiin

Came here for breakfast food was fine no issues ...came pretty quickly too even though it was quite bust as did the drinks Service was good too ...so can't complain ☺️

Can't beat a weather spoons meal and a pint clean friendly as always

Never drank beer so cold! Love it!

Quiet clean and great value for money. Other than the cushions on our seat were damaged, we had no complaints

Food and service are okay as long as turnout isn't big else staff cannot cope, seems like short staffed. On weekends it's full of students, so service is poor, so not worth ordering food on Fridays and Saturdays.

Nice food and drinks and lovely staff that really make it a nice place to come in

Spoons. It is what it is. Rinse & repeat, does what it says on the tin.

The Amber Rooms - JD Wetherspoon at Loughborough is fantastic pictures of 5oz Gammon and Eggs with Mushrooms tomatoes 🍅 peas and chips

Bar staff had sad faces and minimal interaction but the Male waiter was brilliant and made the experience better

Loved it. When in the area will definitely go back 😝

Good choice of food. Friendly staff who got everything right.

Compact 'spoons at the edge of town. Good staff. Clean pub. What more can you say?

Romi and Ellie are brill service with a smile and efficient

Food is okay, just your general pub food. Prices are very cheap. Went Sunday 10am was very quiet, upstairs seating area is lovely and bright.

Amber room is cheap and cheerful service is quick food is nice good value for money

Very friendly and polite staff. Happy to rectify issues if they arise and serve swiftly. Decent spoons 👍🏼

Stopped for refreshments and some hot food. Didn't disappoint. Hot drinks were unlimited, and I have to say it was the cleanest coffee/ tea station in a wetherspoons. Hot food was lovely and hot. Service was very friendly and swift.

A nice meal and a drink for under £8! You just can't go wrong 👍

Sat in the garden in amber rooms amd there was two of the staff members sat and staring at me and my boyfriend whispering to eachother and laughing. On top of this we were then refused entry through the back gate even though it was open and customers were walking in and out of it the whole time we were there. Staff are rude and have an awful attitude and when i complined about the staff it was basically brushed off and wasnt took seriously at all. Also the draft beer tasted awful, and the spirits were not poured properly either.

We had never been here before but we did enjoy our short stay here. We had a snack and were delighted, it's a very comfortable place to be. We would certainly come again when in the area.

What has happened to your coffee??? Used to love your coffee now tastes awful. Staff great

total rip off with £300 Amber fee, never use this company

Never ever had such a bad experience since I was here last time!

Top tasty food and served quickly. A wide variety of drinks too. Highly recommend

Great when the suns out & all you would expect from a 'spoons

We ordered a vanilla ice-cream. The waiter brought 15 minutes later and it was half melted.

Euro football bunting but no tv!

Stop off in the Loughborough basin several times a year cruising on my boat, and the Weatherspoons Amber rooms pub is convenient for an early evening meal and (usually) a decent breakfast before setting off in the morning. Not complaining about the evening chicken tikka massala (you get what you pay for), but not impressed at all by the breakfast, only tepid to start with and served on a stone cold plate. On top there were probably 20 slightly faded notices informing that toast was not available due to 'equipment malfunction' A full English breakfast requires toast, a commercial toaster is not a space shuttle. As a last resort a 4 slice toaster costs less than £20, get it sorted.

Great place very spacious with good atmosphere Only one thing that needs to happen is you need to invest in some good TVs all very old and poor picture quality went elsewhere to watch the England euros match even the projector was awfal picture Great place for everything else though 😝

Absolutely awful, we were on a social and our friend has been refused entry, with the bouncer claiming he had "had to much to drink", yet the rest of us were let in, and we had drunk more than him. I asked to speak to the manager but the shift leader said exactly the same thing. We're absolutely appalled by this treatment.

Our drinks were slammed down and spilt on the table by a very grumpy rude member of staff. She flounced off and the food although bland and lukewarm was at least delivered by a slightly happier staff member. The place was a tip and hard to find a relatively clean table. Drinks person - If you hate your job that much, go find another one!

Went in for a working breakfast. Decent food, served quickly despite it being busy. Found a table without an issue. Good WiFi, staff were ok with me camping out there for a bit. Parking in the neighbouring shopping centre was available and fairly inexpensive.

Serve is a bit slow, but it's only depends on how many staff are on. Otherwise OK 👍

It's a Wetherspoons with extra seating upstairs for those who can negotiate the stairs. The breakfast was its usual self and the coffee machine was slow and there was a line of course. But you get what you pay for.

Lovely breakfast bap and a couple of coffee's.

Professional and knowledgable staff. Paid parking nearby. Lovely food and reasonably price.

My fiancé ordered a steak medium well and came to our table not even cooked.

TV not working for three weeks. Coffee machine broken this Saturday morning upstairs. So a trek and a queue downstairs, coupled with staff shortages. Getting worse. What a shame.

I've never been in a Wetherspoons pub before only to discover there were no clean cups available. And yet there we were, in Loughborough, sat in a pub, drinking coffee out of paper cups because there were no clean cups in the building. We thought it was a joke, alas, it wasn't. Coffee always tastes rank out of a musty paper cup at the best of times and this was no different. It was genuinely a reasonably good measuring stick for the entire pub that felt tired and musty itself. We were far from sad to leave and certainly didn't chance our arm with a breakfast. We didn't want to risk wooden cutlery arriving and food on paper plates. We are not five years old after all. Not good, not good at all.

Great place to eat with the family

The Amber Room in Loughborough is a cozy retreat where you can savor hearty meals and enjoy friendly service. Whether you're meeting friends or seeking a comforting meal, its welcoming ambiance and delicious offerings make it a go-to spot in town.

Can't say a lot, just a Wetherspoons spoons

Where do I even begin? The Amber Rooms at JD Wetherspoon is like stumbling upon a hidden treasure chest filled with deliciousness! The food is so good. Now let's talk prices. I'm pretty sure they're secretly time travelers, because these prices are straight out of the '90s. It's like they've made a deal with the food gods to keep our wallets happy while our bellies dance with satisfaction. Now, let's talk ambiance. Picture this: you walk in, and it's like you've entered the lair of cleanliness itself And the staff? Oh boy, they're like the Avengers of food hospitality, ready to save your day with a smile and a plate of nachos. In conclusion, if you're looking for a place where you can eat like a king, pay like a pauper, and laugh like a hyena at your friend's terrible jokes, then The Amber Rooms is your destination. Five stars? Nah, give them the whole damn constellation!

I use it quite often, Although just recently I think some ( Not all ) of the staff need to go to a school for manners, It takes nothing to say thank you , Rather than slamming a drink on the table and leaving empty ones there…

It's alright. The moon and bell was head and shoulders above the place though. Edit. Rude security and poor selection of beer. Won't be in a rush back

Bar staff very rude when asked for salt was threatened with removal for asking a 2nd time for table salt

Amazing place to eat at,but very busy.

It's a chavs + smack heads paradise but upstairs offers some relief. Not Spoons fault . I just ordered their cheapest 3oz burger, solo. No chips, no salad but added a fried egg. It was perfect. Came on a hot plate, runny yolk, gherkins etc - for £3.60!! Loved it. Stay upstairs away from the low life. Update, some time later - 3 staff behind bar. 1 cleaning lines. 1 served a guy a foot from ne then walked off into the pub. No eye contact. Nothing. He began cleaning tables. Has a huge ring in his ear like he's engaged to something. So I sat down and ordered on the app. Made the curt, friendless, cold individual bring the drink to me. Satisfying so I leave the stars as is.

We were disappointed with the quality of both our meals. Usually pretty good but both the sirloin steak was tough and ropey and the mixed grill was overcooked and dry. Stick to burger or chicken from now on.

Same old wetherspoons cheap and cheerful. Very dark inside as always.

Our food arrived after 20 minutes & was the wrong order. Waited another 10 minutes & we got the right order this time but the food was stone cold!!!

Staff were friendly and efficient. Food came out very quick and was well prepared

First visit excellant great service good food

Don’t bother cold food with a que of people at my shoulder waiting to play the quiz! Even the staff realised how dreadful it was and offered me a half ! Would have preferred a refund, don’t bother coming

It's a lively Spoons in a Uni town

My partner and I went in around 11am, and I've never seen so many middle aged people drunk. It was really quite disturbing.

A Spoons. Cheap beer. Clean and efficient service. You know what you are getting from a North to South. Food is so-so. There is no love in it. But it works. I will always visit Spoons up and down the country.

Overall, we had a reasonable experience. Food just needs to be hot, chips was luke warm, but other food hot, probably pre cooked chips in advance.

Only had drinks staff were friendly and it was clean

Arrived at 8 o'clock Friday, very busy night. Ordered food and drinks at the bar, no queueing (get your table number before ordering food). Choice of cask ale, unlike so many large pubs going over to cider (Happy days if you like cider). Food came in good time, chicken jalfrezi curry, rice, soft naan crispy poppadums plus chicken with a dip and chips.. chips could have been warmer but that was the only snag. The same eating experience could be had by visiting the ready meal section of a supermarket, heating it up at home with your own choice of music/TV. You still have to wash up. It's less fun, and cask ale tastes far better than cans or bottles. Drinks ordered on the app came super quick! Overall, it was a happy night for us. Amber Rooms is a big place, and we were lucky to get a seat. Very popular with students. Curry plus a pint on a Friday £11.37 and many scrumy snack choices for under £6 why wouldn't it be. Next time we're feeling like being sociable, eating out but not spending a king's ransom..

Small portions for the price, the chips were barely cooked, the food had no flavour at all. Its a shame because the staff were very kind. £26 and I'm having to take my child elsewhere for something to eat

Fun place to be at. Had a drink in with my friends. Their drinks are also affordable

Don’t recommend. My partner worked in weatherspoons for 2 years as team leader, he learnt the policies, one of them policies been respectful. My partner didn’t have his ID so instantly got looked down on, embarrassed in front of everyone, this could have been spoken privately, although we was made to finish our drinks at the bar in front of everyone in the pub, and then the manager proceeded to come to our table and stand over us, putting on a show for everyone around. Overall if you don’t take your ID to this bar you’re going to be humiliated in front of the whole pub. Each staff member will go out of their way to put on a show and embarrass you. One certain angry, rude staff member then proceeded to refuse a re-fund. Don’t recommend, very unprofessional, poor customer service.

Totally disgusted with the behaviour of the one of the bar staff and manager, I was sat with 4 friends and a young bar lass broke a glass and was clearly not happy about it and having to clean it up, she then got the stem of the glass and chucked it with force towards the bin next to the coffee machine (on the public side of the bar)and it shattered as it hit the machine or wall! I said out loud "you stupid woman that could have hit someone and hurt them with the broken glass" we were all sat next to it and the manager was also there, and told me not to talk to his staff like that and for us to get out. He needs some serious management training and customer care training. With this young lady not being happy and you could clearly see this! He should have asked her to go and take 5 mins, it would have been a different story if the shards of glass had hit someone, not acceptable behaviour at all.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour I’ve never experienced anything like it. I was sat with 4 friends and the barmaid was slamming the wine glasses one broke and she threw the stem accross to the bin , smashing over the coffee area! My friend said silly girl someone could of got hurt . The manager told us to leave as we can’t talk to his staff like that ! We was minding our own business having a catch up. I tried to speak to he manager he was rude and basically said get out. I have never experienced such rude staff !

The burger was bad and I've been to better weather spoons had the same meal and this was just the worst I'd rather starve.

Ate here couple of times recently with my grandson. He had a pizza both times. Chains like this clearly get their food delivered as fully prepared as they can because the final prep to plate depends on largely cooks that are hired for the lowest wage they can get away with. Both my meals required just a little cooking skills but my steak was terrible; even after I sent it back 😂

Had a breakfast this morning and it was overcooked luke warm and should not have been sent out of the kitchen what a disappointing visit

Food was good as usual but no staff upstairs, after a 5 minute wait with others we had to go downstairs to be served.

We visited The Amber Rooms in December 2023. It’s the only remaining Wetherspoon in Loughborough (technically it’s a Lloyd’s No. 1 Bar!) and it’s a reasonably modern looking pub, clad in metal on the outside. Inside it’s large and spread across two floors, the upstairs wraparound mezzanine having its own bar. Being in a student town it’s a popular venue, though there is a cosier and quieter corner to the rear of the pub on the ground floor. To the rear is a wonderfully pleasant little beer garden, sheltered on all sides and covered somewhat to make it a cosy seating area. The toilets are upstairs and continue the pub’s modern, metal theme, although we found the women’s to be much worse than the men’s. Check out our website or visit our socials (@wethowanderers) to read our full review of the pub!

Very good atmosphere with plenty of people.

1115am Wednesday 7th February. Went in to the Amber Rooms Loughborough (a Wetherspoons Pub!) with my partner to find they had no draught beers available. I was speechless, and walked straight out again. Tim, how can this be????

Just another weatherspoons. Cheap food and drinks. The food is mostly microwaved but edible. It is kept quite clean and the staff are efficient and freindly.

Lack of real ale choice in the amber rooms only four hand pumps on. Yet the moon and bell that has been closed used to have at least eight beers on. What is going on come on witherspoons put more choice on in the amber rooms.

Nice weatherspoons with seating upstairs and down, gets very busy on a Saturday afternoon.

Went for a sandwich and coffe whilst waiting for car to be mot at kwik fit very nice quick service very pleasant

Dont like giving spoons nice reviews but this was is possibly best i know

Food served almost cold. About the same as the service. Staff seemed more interested in how late someone was going to be. Possibly a lad whose trousers had fell out with his shoes. Cutlery was dirty, wasn’t quickly replaced. Ate our food took my son to the toilet came back to no drinks. Fastest table clearing in any spoons. Asked at bar where our drinks were, they gave them back no apology not great thinking how glass collectors hold the rim of the glass. Not a great experience prefer my food hot

Went for breakfast , table was sticky dirty, food can cold and eggs ruined. Food came quite quickly but quality shocking.

the food was absolutely lovely no issue on that part, just wish certain staff members weren't so hot headed! the way they spoke to me was really rude when it could have been handled differently. was made to feel quite embarrassed.

Large branch of the familiar Wetherspoons chain, which had no trouble providing food for my group of 14 at short notice. Decent range of drinks at reasonable prices.

Great place for an enjoyable cheap night out to eat and drink.

Good food, busy place but didn't wait long for food to arrive at table

Both of us had breakfast here good food well presented and cooked Unlimited refills tea or coffee hot chocolate etc you buy the first one Very reasonable prices too less than £7 for small breakfast egg hash brown bacon sausage beans and unlimited coffee toast £2:70 for 2 rounds extra

Gone right down hill since moon and bell closed. Got food and drink order wrong

Food just as described. Swift efficient and polite service.

Better atmosphere since the Moon and Bell closed.

They will give you food poisoning which I had confirmed by a Dr as I'm pregnant and was worried, they then think they know more than a Dr and refuse to acknowledge it

Waited ages at counter to be served, but was ignored, so left

We had arrived in Loughborough Town to see friends & visit their shop, which is called "FORAGE" (fruit n veg from almost every country) Anyway, fancied something to eat & it was suggested we try here, busy, relaxing, bustling & we still found a nice table for two. Ordered through the app, food arrived with our drinks as we requested. We enjoyed the whole experience while we were there & left very happy & relaxed ourselves to carry on with the evening before going home. Basically, you want cheap n cheerful "Wetherspoons" always...!!

Its a spoons does what it says on the tin

App wouldn't work. Had to wait ages for more milk for the tea - food arrived before the milk. Dirty cutlery. On the whole, not impressed
