The Bluecoat in Rotherham

Really nice staff make you welcome drinks and food amazing

Not bad spoons for town centre.Ta

Great stone building , nice pub , friendly staff and amazing beers 😀 , great value 🍺

Had one of their new dishes. Ramen bowl with chicken added as an extra. Didn't think it would be very big bowl so ordered small chips. The bowl was huge and had loads of stuff in it just like the description. Lovely broth, bit spicey on the first taste has a little kick. Was stuffed to the gills. It was delicious. Definatley going to have them again. Would have been great with crusty baggett with garlic. Would recommend it.👍

Went for breakfast, food and service were great. Only downside, sat downstairs and was cold.

Very helpful considerate staff friendly customers nice location child friendly

Good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices. Decided to eat there for my wife's birthday after a trip to York. We both had the mixed grill and a drink for only £6.99. Mistake. Although very well priced, everything was completely overcooked and dry. Never again.

Nice atmosphere, food much better than my local Wetherspoons, friendly staff, good location.

Great pre match pint, prices even better!

Nice place to gather with friends, acceptable prices and polite staff. We like coming to Bluecoat on the weekend P.S. you should definitely try chicken wings with blue sause

Great pub very friendly staff and great service good prices and choice very clean

The food was nice. Staff has been picky asking people to put their shirts back on sat in beer garden on a very warm day theh was doing no harm.

Handy spot for breakfast, we usually pop in on a weekend. I drink real ale generally well kept. Over all very much the average Wetherspoons experience, given what you pay good value.

Excellent. Food and service brilliant. Staff v friendly. Didn't wait long for our food today.

Always been one of my favourite places in town it doesn't have the bad vibe like a lot of Rotherham pubs

Rotherhams best and a good choice of Ales on

Can't go wrong with a spoons. Steak Club Tuesday.

Nice atmosphere & great prices.

Staff are mardy and a few need some customer service training!

The staff made sure I was safe when I was grabbed. They looked out for me and were supportive and very kind even before I could say anything. Thank you Rebecca, another manager which I can't remember the name of as well as the staff member.

cheap and just what i needed to help with the hangover service was quick and food was ok if a little cold unlimited coffee was a definite plus nothing special but there wasnt much competition as most of Rotherham appears to be closed on Sunday morning

G ood beer usually quite busy Standard Wetherspoons

One of the better Wetherspoons tucked away from the General noise

Was great food and service. We all enjoyed are time there

Food is proper nice proper bargin aswell

Great fish and chips! Friendly staff and fab selection of ales.

Food is not as good as the weatherspoons in Sheffield.

Nice spoons in town, quiet, nice foods as always from a spoons, very clean, toilets upstairs, plenty of seating, beer garden.

Needs a overall, looking tired inside now. Staff great always.

Was a wonderful sunny day so we decided to take a walk to here and grab a bite to eat . Was not too busy for the weekend and didn't take long to be served at the bar. We ordered some drinks and 2 mixed grills ,the staff was very friendly and helpful. The mixed grill was on offer and got so much for your money all was cooked perfect. We will surely be coming again if in the area it was relaxed and everyone was having a laugh and a good time.

Pre-match drinks served quickly. I arrived early, so I got a table easily. Friendly locals, no bother.

Nice pub but most ales are over £6 a pint, the meal was only a tenner.

I visited Rotherham for no other reason than it’s there. As you do. Rotherham is famous for being the home of The Chuckle Brothers and the river Rother. And some Ham. The Bluecoat was the home of the Blue Coat charity School, imaginatively named after the school uniform. After 1547, the charitable work of the school was taken over by the ‘Feoffees of the Common Lands of Rotherham’. Nobody at that time knew what in God’s name a ‘Feoffee’ was. And so, it was decreed a short time later that Wetherspoons would take over the building. And it came to pass, some 450 years after the event, that said take over occurred. And still not one person knew what a Feoffee was/is. Lunch in the Bluecoat on a Friday afternoon was a pleasant affair. The pub was bustling without being too busy. Not ‘busty’ as I originally and mistakenly typed. Though a few examples of that phenomena were on show. Proudly. A curry, a burger and some chicken trips were the order of the day. You can’t really go wrong with that order, though you’d be surprised. A poppadum greasier than a teenager’s face often arrives. As does curry with an oil slick film floating on the surface. To accompany the slab of rice microwaved solid and cracking the plate with the body mass index of a WWE wrestler. Not that day. The curry was very nice indeed, no oil, fluffy rice, and naan bread just on the right side of cooked. The burger was fine, the chips were hot and crispy. The chicken was excellent; my daughter tells me. But then she’d eat chicken cooked in the backside of a pig with dysentery just so long as it was once a clucking thing. The Bluecoat was an excellent choice that day, the food great and we enjoyed the visit. No idea what a ‘Feoffee’ is though. A car, possibly. Or fruit.

Great place for a meal and a drink 😄

Decent food and quick service, but loud drunkards all around you destroy atmosphere. One wouldn't expect this at 12:00 on Wednesday, but hey, welcome to Rotherham i guess.

Me local even tho its 6 miles from home. Love it

Excellent food but decor very dark

A decent Wetherspoons pub, but it has a rather dark decor inside and lacks atmosphere. The staff are pleasant but the food quality can be variable depending on who's doing the cooking that day ! But for value and drink choice no other pub chain company can beat it and when we visit other cities and towns we always seek out the local Wetherspoons to try as each one is unique and kudos to the company for giving some great old neglected buildings a new lease of life.

Good pub. Great selection of beer and drinks. Friendly and polite staff.

Great little Spoons doing brisk business - all seats taken. CAMRA offer each Wednesday after 19:00 - all cask £1.88 a pint

My only minor criticism is that there isn't a lot of daylight there - each to their own. Everything else is excellent

Love it. Good food, good vibes, good beer. Enjoyed during my day off..

One very unapproachable large female member of staff making the place feel colder than it already is because the heating doesn’t work.. Stella guaranteed to be flat, the floor in the job centre next door is literally cleaner and you have to peel your sleeves of the tables but it’s great for a cheap pint and belly ache

Call in at least once a week for one of their lovely breakfasts

It’s seems Wetherspoons has now become a local crèche for every single mother in the area, at least the kids were ok while the women drank pints of coors and smoked vapes. I thought even with vapes you couldn’t smoke inside but the staff seem to turn a blind eye. After sampling the panini I wish we hadn’t bothered, Wetherspoons used to be cheap but £6 for what was basically a cat food sandwich is ridiculous. The Ghost ship beer was ok though.

Nice place good breakfast and good beer, friendly staff will go again.

Really pleased that they do a free from breakfast, not many places do and it was lovely too. Will go again

Friends staying in Rotherham had scouted around for a good place to eat in the evening and came across the Bluecoat. They had been the night before we met up and recommended that we go there together. So that was the first recommendation. I had scampi and my wife chicken. I can't remember what the others had, but it was all good! I tried to pay, but they ganged up on me! Recommended!

A homely atmosphere, booths, and lots of tables. Very easy to order, we had a very good time.

It is a Wetherspoons, if you have to go to any pub in Rotherham, this place is the least worse. Although, a man was glassed over the head last time I was here. So, maybe stay at home.

Staff or double right, prompt service , food usually good, pleasant atmosphere

Great spoons! Right around the corner from mine. Quality BBG products and presentation

Drinks only Table service was fast.very fast 👏 Typical spoons layout/drinks/food (looks only) Nothing bad to say

Friendly pub was in for a pre match Jalfrezi & back for breakfast the following morning before the train home - had a sing along with an office party upstairs- Dec 12th 😎

Everything you expect of a local wetherspoons.

It's a spoons ..... Customary good service good food etc. rated against other spoons visited....

Quick delivery, proper Wetherspoon feel

Good place to have a quick drink but too quiet upstairs,like music 🎶😀😜 when eating and drinking

Bluecoats is the. place to be at the weekend Adam and. staff are just great staff they're just there. ready to serve you Thank to. Adam. all his. Staff

Been in a few Wetherspoons around the country & quite a few are loud and dark, this one is the opposite of those, well lit and able to have a conversation without shouting. Had some food while we were there and that was excellent too. Would recommend.

Typical Spoons with great food all day with a huge variety of beers and wines. Staff very friendly.

been in this pub few times, the service was friendly, the quality of meals were basic , with that price you are not expecting too much. chips were crispy, chicken wings were plenty. beaware some meals are including drinks. good selection of drinks and their prices were low. guinness was £2.58 a pint. other pubs in peak district you won't even get half a pint. tea and coffee are refillable it was only £1.02.

Only visited for drinks great place drinks reasonable prices service was good not waiting nice atmosphere plenty of seating.

Decent real ale as can always be expected in a Wetherspoons, Farmers Belgium Blue. Price for food here is reminiscent of a cheap holiday without the sunshine!

Always freezing inside..air-conditioning is always very cold!!!!

What you expect from a weathspoons, service 1 star as I went for a drink and they took my breakfast away which I hadn't finished

I am an Ipswich Town supporter who visited as part of a group last week. The pub were more than welcoming to away supporters (which makes a change!) and service was swift via the app/ordering at the bar. All of the drinks were served perfectly and prices were good. There was a good atmosphere within the pub throughout and the locals are very friendly. Highly recommend if you’re travelling to the Aessal New York Stadium as an away supporter. I will definitely be coming back here if we play Rotherham next season👍🏻

Went on a dinner time when Millers were at home. Plenty of banter between supporters but no trouble

I enjoyed a vegetarian breakfast and a glass of orange juice for £7.20. Nice breakfast, but not keen on the sausages.

Unfortunately full of the daily drunks!

Lovely old building sympathetically converted.

I travel over from Wrexham for the match knowing that I will have a great day out.

My friends used to come here to get hammered between college lessons on fridays

Get what you pay for, great value.

Standard wetherspoons pub a little scruffy ok for a quick pint. Nothing special...

Been coming.Cant beat a Wetherspoon's on price..Think I've tried most meals on the menu.Dont like the new burgers tho much preferred the old ones.

Low priced real ales and a small selection of craft ales. Gets busy during football match days.

This Witherspoon is one of the best I've been in for a while, today they let themselves down with 10 beans on a large brunch, and a rude customer of the older persuasion who was watching TicToc on full volume with no headphones, not a staff fault but annoying.

Great meal before Rotherham v Morecambe, friendly girls serving our table, great atmosphere. We'll be back if we play here again ❤️

A typical boozer, great to sit in the sun and have a few jars

You know what you will get with a Wetherspoons! Good food at good price. Great upstairs area that's quieter.

Wide range of drinks to choose from at great prices .. lovely outdoor seating area....

The best pub in the centre at lunch time.

A typical spoons. Large outdoor area

Very nice friendly staff with a quick service

Always a great place to drink and eat cheaply. Food has always been good. The only moan I have is that it needs a bloody good brighter paint job.

Meal and a drink for £10 offer ❤️

Used to be nice, after the rhinos shut all the egits come up here now, atmosphere ruined. Used to be my go to, now avoided, go to New York tavern for a pint instead

A fairly decent wetherspoons in a run down area I'd never reccomend going to Rotherham but if you find yourself there then this pub is worth a visit I do like the blue coat blonde real ale which is actually Cavendish by well beck brewery but this is a decent pint on the bar all the time so if nothing else on bar is favourable then this is a good fallback option the food is well cooked prices are very reasonable and slightly cheaper than some spoons due to the location.

Typical spoons you get what you pay for.

Bit rough.. but nice staff great food .. Clean.. 👍

Visited for football very good atmosphere mixture of home and away supporters UTB

Great pub with good service. Visited on a match day. Staff were welcoming, choice of beers Great and food was good. Prices are typically Wetherspoons so value all round. Worth a visit.

A good spoons. The staff work really really hard before the Millers matches to keep us fed and watered.

Nice pub, good selection of real ales and breakfast was above average for Wetherspoons!

A bit of a tired pub internally but great use of this building

Nice gentle atmosphere considering it's a town pub

Friendly service, however the customers were a rude

It had supply issues with it's food.

Nice prices, shame about the plastic glasses
