One of the better Wetherspoons in the Leeds area. Lovely location and a cosy, 'oldy worldly' decor and atmosphere with real fires. Food is nice and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Visited again today 12.9.24 and this place just keeps getting better and better especially with the landlords meal deal

My recent order included a burger and chips; however, the chips were stale cold, and this is not the first instance of this issue.

Typical style Wetherspoons. My first time in here. Bit chilly inside and not much atmosphere. One coffee machine was out of order which my dad says has been like that for months and the other didn't have the usual big selection. Food was really good and very quick service (breakfast). Would definitely go back.

Visted The Bowling Green para un poco de almuerzo y una taza de té. Cuando fui a la máquina de autoservicio para hacer el té no había agitadores de madera así que fui al bar a pedir unos donde me dijeron que no tenían más que ir a buscar uno de metal de las bandejas de cubiertos. Fui y no había cucharas, así que le pregunté a una camarera si quería comprarlas. Desapareció para volver a decirme que no, pero que podía echarme una pajita. Mi respuesta fue que quería hacer una taza de té y la respuesta fue que no había nada que ella pudiera hacer. Terminé usando un cuchillo. Decir que estaba decepcionado con la actitud del personal es más allá de las palabras, así que honestamente puedo decir que no volveré a visitar y definitivamente NO recomendaría a nadie

Very typical Wetherspoon experience. Pub a little nicer than most, as is Otley in general. Food was a little below average. But the beer selection and quality was pretty good.

The service here is diabolical. One guy behind the bar having to serve customers in front of him and drinks orders coming through on the app at the same time, all at peak time of day. The lay out of the bar encourages people to queue up, which in a pub is very weird. Look I don't expect the hand pulled ales to be anything special in a spoons but the head completey disappearing in the 20 seconds between leaving the bar to find my seat is a new experience I would rather forget. All simple fixes and the joint would be half decent for a spoons

El personal del Bowling Green es muy amable y servicial, y especialmente Laura, la gerente. Ella mantiene el lugar funcionando muy bien, que es probablemente la razón por la que es tan popular. Honestamente puedo decir que nunca he tenido un mal trago o comida allí, y el personal es rápido, eficiente y muy educado, y hacen todo lo posible para complacerte. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita. Precioso interior también. Las mejores notas. Richard.

Beer is good value food ok but standard pub food service comes over as what it is, a large chain where staff are doing their jobs, it just lacks the personality of the smaller pubs that Otley has, makes you feel like a number not a person.

Ordered food via app, stated that food would be 13 mins which is fairly normal. 20 mins later it arrived COLD after 3 mins still waiting for 2 extra slices of toast we ordered we chased this up to have to ask again, 10 mins later toast arrived COLD, asked to speak to manager that didn't seem concerned he had a complaint, he said there running 25 mins behind although on app it was taking about 13 mins, told him food was cold another excuse was there short staffed, couldn't really explain why we had to wait another 10 mins for our toast other than that there short staffed, only thing he offered was a FREE drink which you actually get free anyway with the refills. If there was a zero star I would definitely put that. Will not be returning here again, absolute shambles.

Attended here with my mum and my 3 year old son. It's an odd layout with multiple little rooms and offshoots. We had the traditional breakfast which was delicious and very affordable and my son had the pancakes which he was very pleased with. Service was very good and quick especially using the app. My only criticism is that overall it's not very well lit and the ladies toilets are up and exceptionally steep staircase which is impossible to scale for anyone with mobility issues!

We reserved a space here this afternoon for a family meal. 21 adults and some children. When we arrived, the man who greeted us was very helpful and welcoming. I didn't get his name but he wore a shirt with yellow ducks on. He was a pleasure to deal with. We all ordered our meals separately using the bar or the app and the food did arrive promptly apart from 2 meals. We waited a while and then politely mentioned at the bar that we were 2 meals short. The manager came over and was unhelpful and dismissive. He was adamant that the correct number of dishes had been served and suggested that someone had eaten two meals. He was unwilling to replace or refund the two meals that simply didn't arrive. !! The used dishes were still on the table and so it was an easy task for us to count them and see that we were indeed two dishes short. Rather than make a fuss and create an unpleasant atmosphere, we decided to cut our losses and reorder and pay again. In a large place orders will get muddled or missed and we would have accepted this as just one of those things but, for the manager to be accusing and unhelpful was unreasonable. The food we had was good, the serving staff were polite and helpful and for this I will give some stars but the way the manager behaved absolutely ruined the atmosphere for us and for this reason, I won't be visiting the bowling green again

Stopped for a coffee and lunch, as we had a dog with us we sat outside in the corner away from the entrance path and door, while we were deciding on food we were approached by a member of staff and was told we could finish our 1 cup of coffee but would have to leave because of the dog. I can understand not allowing dogs inside, but I have never been told that dogs are not even allowed outside. Will take my custom elsewhere and avoid all weatherspoon in the future. I could understand if it was a busy day but it's an overcast day with just 1 other person sitting outside. We have never felt so unwelcome in a pub in my life. Apparently it is company policy.

First and unfortunately our last visit here. Came in on Sunday and the place was heaving, we found the only table available and sat down. The table was full of plates and glasses but again was the only one. I went to order drinks and must have queued for 20 mins as there was only 1 poor chap on the bar! Only saw 1 other young lad popping some glasses away for a couple of mins. When it was finally my turn to be served I was told there was only the premium branded lagers available, which I ordered and were served in warm glasses. I asked if our table could be cleared as we were wanting to eat ourselves and her replied with a no!! I had to clear the table myself no great at all, we ordered food via the app as the queue at this point was reaching the door. Came out within 25 mins, luke warm small portions and the cutlery was a little grim. Went to use the baby change and the place was filthy and flooded. No sign to warn you of the puddle of toilet water you were going to step in. This place certainly need more staff on! Would have made ours and others visit much more enjoyable.

Barred for "at least a year" for "threatening behaviour" for a single comment. Watch your male partners with the staff in here, one of them loves the guys in a relationship. Thirteen years down the drain, but I'm not allowed to tell her she should be scared he'll sleep with me 😂 The cross contamination in the kitchen is apparently horrendous, and the beer always tastes awful. Also the only Spoons in the country where you won't get in after 12 on a weekend, as the staff can't be bothered to just not over-serve. The pub has apparently spent the last few months "tense and nervous" because of mine and my ex's relationship. They repeatedly over-served him to the point that he was violent with me. As a side note to Wetherspoons, maybe don't employ children that think it's okay to sleep with men in relationships if you're not willing to deal with the consequences.

Having been quite a few times before this last visit was the least pleasant. Beautiful building and good atmosphere with a diverse clientele. I love the ethos of the Wetherspoons brand. Having been to quite a few especially round Yorkshire and Cumbria I find each one can be a completely different experience. Yesterday Otley was very busy.The staff that were working were working hard. But standards of basic hygiene are not being adhered too. Basic things like food and plates not being cleared away quickly enough. Tables not being wiped sticky tables. Also the menus awful and sticky.Please sort out these issues. Kendal Wetherspoons was brilliantly run. Tables cleared and wiped straight away. On a positive note prossecco one of the best I've tasted.
