The Benjamin Fawcett in East Riding of Yorkshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

There’s a limit to how rubbish the food is compared to the price you pay. We’ve past that threshold Yes it’s convenient. Yes it’s cheap Yes its absolute rubbish

Ordered the chicken tikka meal.Was very nice in fact the best around Driffield and will definitely buy a meal here again.Staff were friendly and not too pricy

My friend and i sometimes go in this place for our lunch, its a nice weatherspoons, the food is Lovely and so is the atmosfere

Dark and dingey pub like many wetherspoons. Food ok but could be hotter.

Great find as we've just relocated to Driffield. Friendly staff, great service, good at amazing prices...

It's your normal whether spoons, the food was good in a relaxed surroundings with friendly staff.

The staff members were extremely helpful and friendly. Service was excellent and the food was very nice.

Nothing to shout about, food is ok as is service . It is edible lacks options I.e we went in on a Sunday afternoon & there was no Sunday roast on menu .

Came on a Tuesday so took advantage of steak night Sirloin ok Chips etc warm not hot Didn’t complain as less than 20 for meal and 3 pints Value for money If paying in average pub would of complained but as Sid before get what you pay for Poppy very good, polite and professional also very attractive lady Lad behind bar not so professional Would visit again to eat

Yes, just popped in today. Not been b4. Steadyaway busy. Good service, prices, menu and service. Lovely outside area to sit out in. Go find it..

Super friendly staff. Amazing food.

To be expected in a witherspoon, no frills and good value

Huge meal and beer for just over £11. Excellent value 👏

Went in on Tuesday orderd 4 meals 3 were great.Orderd a kids meal for larger appetite s,when it came i couldn't belive the size of the portion it was sausage and mash 2 sausages the mash was the size of a table spoon full.I asked the lady were the rest of the mash was ,she "replied that's the size of the portion" that's all she said and walked off.It didn't help that it came out on a big plate!! There wasn't enough to feed a 3 yrs old,let a lone a 7 yrs old wasnt happy at all.Get your portion sizes right wot a con.

Waited 20 minutes for butter to go with toast , asked a manager who then just walked past me and ignored me twice, how difficult is it to get butter , apparently very difficult.

This is a great spot for a coffee and somthing quick to eat after work(for me usually a cappuccino & Boneless Chicken Basket and Chips!) The Waiting Staff go out of there way to make sure the whole experience is a pleasurable one from ordering and receiving the food to asking you how it was and taking empty plates away promptly. Always Polite Respectable and Smartly Dressed Keep up the Hard Work!

Yes it’s spoons yes it’s cheap.kitchen all over the place wait on food horrendous some people getting food after 10 minutes others waiting 30min plus and this is when it’s relatively quiet

Quick efficient service. Cheap beer and food. No hassle

We've been here a few times now...the service is brilliant...the pub has a wonderful atmosphere ...and the food is cheap n cheerful 😍😋🍺

Happy and friendly staff. Great breakfast, everything cooked well, the best eggs I have had in a Wetherspoons pub. Will go back again. Good value.

Simple food and a good selection of beer. Order to the table via wetherspoons app

The food is OK but not as nice as it used to be. The prices have gone up for less! Also I found the service to be a bit unfriendly as I had a child in the party and felt I had been told off for us not finishing our meal by 9pm. I didn't know there was a rule on it.

Very nice relaxed place, the best one of the chain out of Scarborough, Hull, and Bridlington. Nice polite friendly service. Will always come bk and especially when I move bk to Driffield. 🙂😀

Nice Wetherspoons was pretty busy had lunch cheap and filling and refillable hot drinks

It's one of the best weatherspoons I have been to and a great atmosphere inside. The food was good, and the service was quick and friendly. Always great deals on during the week.

It's a bit grim to say the least, yes it's a spoons so expections where never high but its dark and gloomy, almost every table was dirty and the menus where sticky. Only one bar person servicing which was causing a back up. Really could do with modernising.

Fast and friendly service with a smile. Use the app from your table for extra convenience, great when your with young children. Very family friendly during the day and a popular bustling venue on an evening. Food is cheap and cheerful but nothing exciting.

It's a Wetherspoons so you know what you get

Very big menu, lots of choice, quality of food relates to the price. Simple but OK. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Cutlery and glasses could be cleaner. I think after washing they are not dried, that seems to be the case. We went twice in 4 days and will return in the future.

The food came quickly, but the drinks didn't, we had to ask twice before they arrived well after the food, unusual for wetherspoons. The food was very good, though.

Slow service, standard spoons food was decent.

My partners favourite place, staff are always so friendly, food is very fast, prices are great! Also has cheap parking nearby (£1.70 for 2 hours, £2.70 for a full day.) lovely place and would recommend for any occasion

Great weather spoons in driffield, did not have any food so no comment

Having previously given this venue a good review unfortunately I've edited my review from a few years ago. It used to be cheap and cheerful, but unfortunately prices have risen to a point there are better places to eat and it's far from cheerful. If you want to spend a day in the pub drinking cheap beer and taking advantage of special offers for food a bargain can be had and it may be a good choice. But if you are considering visiting for a bite to eat and want to choose your meal instead of buying on price then you can do far better. Foods adequate, prices are now middling, staff are generally decent, it's often noisy and not very civilised (in fairness it is a wetherspoons), can be busy but you will usually find a table, nothing "wrong" with the place it just all boils down to price, spoons isn't a particularly nice dining experience but when it's cheap it's bearable, a meal for two here now is on a par price wise with the likes of nandos, pizza express or a dozen other chain eateries including most chain pubs. You can do better.

Awful!!!!! Ordered a breakfast cold beans cold snotty egg cold burnt bacon. Cold toast sausage was just warm but hot hash browns....terrible and even the coffee was tasteless

This place can't even get toast right Putting a slice of bread on a gridle or Panini press for a few seconds isn't toasting it can't wetherspoons aford to buy a toaster to make proper toast

Very busy but still got served in reasonable time.

A great meal at a good price, we were both quite full after a main and desert with a pint included in the main meal price. Edit: the unlimited hot drinks are a great deal and cheap too, even if you only have one.

Did not have food on this visit.

Great atmosphere. Good food and good prices.

Paid a quick visit whilst passing Driffield and was pleased to park so close. Very much a locals pub but everyone was very friendly and seemed to get on.

The bar staff were friendly and we had a small meal which was lovely. We requested our table be cleaned before we ate but this wasn't carried out unfortunately so left us a dirty table for our meal. Also please clean the carpets and loos, otherwise, we do generally like Wetherspoons

Went for breakfast, it was quite acceptable. Good price . Good service. Will go again

Great value for money pub as you would expect from wetherspoons

All wetherspoons are value for money for food and drink.

Its a Spoons . All lovely staff

Ok its a weatherspoons and its a traditional breakfast but the last few weeks it has been consistently good... its simple meal that was prepared with care and service was friendly efficient and fast. In the mornings it is a calm friendly place to be and the real fire adds to the positive atmosphere....

Good beer, pub grub at a realistic price. A cheap night out.

cant speak highly enough about the benjamin fawcett and the staff .always courtious and helpful ..we in driffield are very lucky to have it ..i would also recommend amelia for the emplyee of the month

Good pub great beer and prices.

Friendly staff spacious and good food portions

We had an evening meal here twice over a long weekend. The food was excellent, and the staff were professional in their duties.

The Benjamin fawcett is a really good Wetherspoons. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is always a good choice of cask conditioned real ale and other beers and lagers. I always enjoy the burgers. The curry day on a Thursday and steak night are stand out days for me.

Standard Witherspoon's. Been going in a few years now. The long term staff are very friendly 👍

Food was lukewarm and looked like it had been cooked and warmed up bad fly problem around tea station and tables

Me and a friend ordered at the same time and hers came out within 5 minutes which was a shock how they cooked a bbq chicken meal in such a short space of time and mine was brought out when she was finished. I thought the mixed grill was poor quality aswell!

Typical spoons, dirty tables and microwaved food. Clear your own table to sit at. Take some wipes with you.

Another weatherspoons pub nice atmosphere and the food and drink was good, at this venue.

Nice staff very welcoming. Nice beer

Went for some lunch wasn't very hot the panini wasn't toasted and the bbq chicken was like warm and chips looked like the day before heated up

If I could give this place less than a star I would. Absolutely shocking. Attitude of the staff is appalling. Apparently they can’t cook chips before 11:30am - even if it’s 11:25 and a child wants an early lunch. Breakfast came and was cold with only one meal being sent to the table. Then waited another 20 mins to receive less on the breakfast that I actually ordered. Awful place, terrible staff. Avoid.

Service was good but the food wasn't do great. Probably one of the worst spoons I've had. Mixed grill was tasteless

Went here today with 4 friends, had a lovely meal nice and hot, and plenty of food .washed down with a pint of hand pulled Abbott's 🍺. I draw back only 1 working behind the bar and I serving meals. Could maybe do with a couple more staff although the 2 ladies worked very hard. Paul

Pretty dreadful all round. The one member of staff serving appeared to have little or no training on drinks available. The screen for online drink orders suggested people had been waiting over 15 minutes for drinks. I sat at a table for over 30 mins with tables all around attracting flies due to dirty plates etc not being cleared (despite staff who delivered new food returning to the food reheating dept empty handed) Customers were looking in the cupboard underneath condiments that were not stocked up. I understand this chain came off social media years ago as it didn't like the criticism it received.

Nice spoons...always plenty of seats and my grandchildren enjoyed the large booths to sit in

This is a busy and popular pub close to the centre of Driffield. Visited today at lunchtime and the pub was busy with lots of full tables inside and other people taking in the sunshine in the outside seating area at the front of the pub. Staff were pleasant and polite. I didn’t have a meal today but the meals ordered by my friends were a good size and looked and smelled delicious. The menu was varied so lots of choice whether you are looking for a snack or a full meal. The only downside for me was that the toilet facilities were upstairs, accessed by a lovely sweeping staircase. If you like good portions, pub grub at a reasonable price, this would be a good choice.

Food is either cold or overcooked. The last time I ate there the chicken was so hard I couldn't cut it. When I complained, I was given another meal.

Brilliant staff , great atmosphere. Especially love quiz night the host Is lovely.

Great local pub with a lovely and lively atmosphere. Great selection of drinks and friendly service (nice courtyard too). Usually entertainment and bands at weekends so well worth checking out!

Called in for a bit of lunch, it was quite busy but the ordered food came very quickly. Ordered beef tennessee burger meal and the buttermilk chicken tennessee meal. Both were excellent, very hot, and lots on the plate. The chicken was moist with a lovely crisp crumb and the beef was very 'meaty'. Service good and price also very reasonable.

Absolutely abysmal bar service, waiting over 15 minutes for drinks bought via the app, drinks arrived poorly poured, only one member of staff behind the bar while the others play hide and seek, I can honestly say this is the worst Spoon's I've ever visited for speed and quality of service... If I could have scored zero I would have

Great pub and again a really nice weatherspoons. Just one disappointed needed more staff on.

Food isn’t to bad at all especially for the price. Overall good place for a bite to eat and a pint.

they seemed to be fairly busy but my food was served very quickly. It was well cooked and presented well. Staff were extremely pleasant and attentive.

Good food as usual at weatherspoons

I like this Wetherspoons but I do find it quite hit and miss. I've had some poor experiences with service in the past here and have sometimes been waiting for almost an hour for food. Many times, the drinks come out after the food, too. However, on the whole, the service is relatively quick and the food is usually good. The prices are good too, standard for a Wetherspoons.

Awful. Flies buzzing around & crawling around the sticky dirty tables. Food disgusting. Waited 45 mins for three meals which were cold, inedible & dry. Could have worn the steak & gammon as shoe leather, and used the fried eggs as a Chinese throwing star. Give it a miss, your stomach will thank you!

Good food as weatherspoons menu . Free top up on drinks . Upstairs loos can be a problem but has disabled toilet downstairs access via a key from bar but only one hope you can wait .haha .

Usual Spoons. Good value for money

This is turning out to be our first choice pub. Enjoy food and drinks that don't break the bank. If you don't want an alcoholic drink, they have a tea or coffee bar.

Excellent service and well cooked steak. One of the better 'spoons

Spoons #120, Popped in on our way home after going to Sewerby. On street parking close to pub, Nearly 15 minutes waiting for my pudding, custard was congealed think it had been sat under hot lamp. Pleasant lady served us, seemed pretty busy with quite a few uncleared tables

Great place for a beer and the Breakfast was nice..👍

Jess the manager been amazing! Made my first ever pub experience amazing with her beautiful smile the way she presented herself all in all she made my day! Hopefully the management get to see this and she gets appraisal she deserves. The atmosphere was calm and lovely! Thank you Jess.

First date here, first time I ever came to Driffield this was the first place I came. Brilliant atmosphere and it's where I met the woman I call my wife. Good food, Driffield definitely needs more places like this.

Lovely pub in Driffield, cool inside,outside seats too. Great food,fantastic staff and well managed.

One of the Better Wetherspoons.

Great Weatherspoons.. Reccomend

Long wait but not a bad breakfast

Lovely staff, clean, good atmosphere but yet again, as with every wether spoons the food was cold, such a shame, good quality products ruined by simply not being able to provide a hot meal. Please wether spoons, get your act together. It really isn't hard.

Always cold and bad drafts due to staff repeatedly propping g open FIRE exits as a means for customers and staff alike to take a shortcut for a cigarette. Hence smoke and smell of cigarettes is blown in, even though they have a smoking area. Very poor

Standard Wetherspoons experience, good staff, foot perfectly acceptable. Prices great. Easy app ordering. Does the job.

Real nice place. Good food. Even when it's busy, it's not to loud. The seats in the booths need replacing as they slope in place, not nice when your eating and having to adjust every two minutes.

Food was good but portions were small

Lovely pub, lovely staff, cold refreshing drinks 🍻 no complaints

Great for a reasonably cheap night out.

Poor for a change. 2 'New' options not available. Went elsewhere.

Love this spoons ,always worth a visit

I'm a big wetherspoons fan. Its a great place to have dinner when you don't want to cook. Unfortunately this particular wetherspoons was lacking in every department. The menu was mostly out of stock....not a burger or pizza available. My side salad had rotting leaves in it. And for an early Wednesday evening with only a handful of other customers, the service was very slow. The whole place is lacking in charm and atmosphere too. Its a big no from me.

It's a weatherspoons decent food really good prices yeah nice
