Nice place to enjoy afther a stressful day

Excellent breakfast go there every Monday with my daughter 😀

Pre football drinks. No food eaten.

Nice meal great pint of guinness

A great place to start your night out. Clean, tidy and good service.

Wonderful spot to chill. And great prices too.

absolutely a nightmare the supervisor rude and in professional. the way he spoke to us and my family is a joke. refused to change my food and exceptionally unprofessional. rude and a waste of your time going here. the glasses wasn’t clean and neither was the tables . absolutely disgusting and disrespectful to us. i do not recommend this place for the future

Service with a snile.. One of the larger pubs in Peterborough, service varies widely, ***Bar staff have a habit of serving SHORT measures & over charging, also they also expect you to pay extra for NOT having ice in your drink, if you let them get away with it***. If you order via their app, be prepared for a wait... Still chaotic my advice is to avoid at all costs.

Ordered a 10oz gammon no mushrooms extra egg when food arrived no eggs but mushrooms told staff I ordered extra eggs no mushrooms. When the food arrived for the second time I had 3 eggs on the plate all OVER COOKED The so called CHIEF Should go back to MACDONALDS.

Haven't been in there since I was at college, not much has changed, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The food was hot and didn't cost the earth

Again jd good beer at good price 10/10

Lovely place for breakfast and a drink

The most miserable pub in Peterborough! miserable horrible staff! Extremely slow service but least its cheap.

Food was basic and small but you get what you pay for. We found one of the waitresses to be a bit rude especially to trainee staff. Food was ok but it's a weatherspoons

Mixed Grill was worth the money. A good lunch

Excellent Wetherspoons pub . Monday real ale £1.99 a pint! Drank quality beer Grainstore Rutland Beast. Top-drawer. Highly Recommended

Just brilliant for Friends and family

To far to walk to toilet but nice old building plenty of tables

Visited with a friend in a wheelchair and the main entrance had steps. There was wheelchair access through a fire escape but you had to ring a bell for access and inside the pub access was limited although the staff were quick to answer the bell it didn't seem very inclusive

It's ok. Cheap and cheerful. Drinks are cheap and the food but you get what you pay for. Service is normally ok. Loads of outdoor space. Inside is very space aswell. Good for a lunchtime fly by

Great wetherspoons in the heart of Peterborough, nice beer garden in the warm weather

Poor experience with food service. It was not very busy, but my food order took a lot longer than normal. After questioning a bar attendant, it arrived, nearly cold, I assume that it had been prepared and then forgotten.

Nice food for the price, not the best but you get what you pay for. Will do us now all day. Staff, very friendly. Can't beat weathers does the job

As expected from a weatherspoons service was quick - reasonable priced - food was good - pub was busy but no problem getting a table

Decided to give this place a try after our usual favourite pub stopped serving food. Big mistake! The atmosphere is rough and ready! Actually quite unpleasant. We were only here on a weekday lunchtime so I can only imagine what it’s like over the weekend! Staff were unable to smile… any of them. Two female staff members hung around in front of the bar loudly shouting and calling things to each other presumably attempting banter? It seemed to be to attract attention but was quite awkward to witness. A bit like a heckler with no wit or comedy skills. Food menu was sticky and grubby as was the table. The fried egg served up had actually crumbled/ fallen and was now in 4 pieces. Someone had gone to a lot of trouble to piece it back Into an egg shape and put it back on my plate… minus any sign of a yolk! I asked for it to be swapped and it was exchanged for one equally as bad. Neither were eaten. Poor food, poor customer service and dirty! Staff just hanging about with their mates!

i rarely leave reviews, however.....this was one of the worst meals i have had in recent years, the blackpudding was like an icepuck, everything was overcooked, your suppose to prepair the food not nuke it into next week.

Simple, basic food but well made. Very affordable prices. Food was brought very quickly after ordering. Lovely outdoor area !

First visit here, had a nice lunch. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will return next time we are visiting the area.

Cheap but boring no music no sound on tvs

Had to re review, place pretty empty , then only one at the bar and 6 staff behind the bar, all see you and ignore you??? Then looks like a manager can see I’m not happy and sends someone over to serve me, maybe this place could do with new staff, clearly don’t want a job or don’t want to do the job they are paid for

Exciting in that we watched an arrest right in front of us, the perp had just run past us within feet.

Breakfast was good decent food staff bit hit and miss some are lovely some think there above you.the toilets are not cleaned regularly puddles of water left toilets blocked not tissue in some but it is a cheap and cheerful place to grab some pub grub

Don't let my star count mask what is a really good place. Fact is, the food is not gourmet, but I really like it for the price. Can easily eat and have a beer for under £10. Service is quick and food is always served hot. During the week, it's nice little hang out, inside or in the back which is outside, with a nice little smoking area. Fridays and Saturdays become a bit rowdy. Go here 2-3 times a week. Recommended.

I would really recommend going there great service and food 👍 👌 😀 😊 😋 😄

Very nice atmosphere & Good food Lovely young waitress even brought us 2 spoons knowing we were going to share a desert Thank you!

Seats weren't cleaned and table was barely acceptable. Steak was awful. Almost inedible. Tough and sinewy and it was steak noght apparantly. Chips were microwaved. Actually, it was pretty grim. Service was terrible. Rice served instead of chips with curry. Naan bread like shoe leather. Sent it back. 3 of the 5 real ales were off. Cleaning pumps. That should be done before opening? Lastly peosecvo glass given was filthy. Staff were as usual not that bothered. If it wasn't cheap it would be out of business. Nobody checked for allergies or if we had any issues. I'm rather glad they didn't. Bad experience. The sister pub The Drapers can't be this bad can it?

Good ambience, less crowded, quick service. Must try their chicken wings!

Food ( fish) was swimming in oil. Twice run out of requested cider. Place not clean or dirty. Most of the mayo or ketchup are empty.

Outside area in the sun is lush plenty of tables

A very decent pub, with very helpful staff.

Eggs were like pancake/omelette on the bottom and hash browns very greasy. Servive was kind and friendly and was offered to have it re-cooked. service, etc, was *****

Waited for our meal for ages. Just me and someone else and only ordered sandwiches and chips

It's a wetherspoons, I don't think any more information is either needed or relevant to manage your expectations?

Just awful,I'm not fussy I had vegetarian breakfast ,sausages tasted of nothing but dirty fat ,beans were like watery ,shame coz the staff were nice,nice place,but awful food,never again 🤮

Lovely cheap quick breakfast. Staff polite and friendly.

Thought we’d have a coffee at The College Arms. Just getting in the pub was an adventure, literally. A few feet from the door a young lady with few teeth was having an argument with a man of similar age and dental problems. She was repeatedly questioning his parentage with increasing annoyance. Apparently, he did have a father after all and wanted her to ‘go away’. At least, that’s how I interpreted the actual phrase he used. We finally entered the pub once we bypassed the staff on the door chuckling at what was going on outside. The pub was busy, tables were at a premium. A standard Wetherspoons afternoon. We’d be in the minority in that we only wanted a coffee. The machines were easily accessed, and the drinks were poured swiftly. The College Arms is a nice enough City Centre pub. We didn’t eat, so couldn’t pass judgement. However, if you want a fairly standard Wetherspoons just like any other, then this is for you. Just hope that there isn’t a sideshow outside…

Food and drink is a good price , never been disappointed.

The half chicken was almost inedible it still had carcass attached and slimy skin. I retrieved as much breast meat as I could chips were dry

Horrible place Staff is werry rood not respect at all Derty place

Terrible ,I had a buttermilk burger with 14 chips ,yes 14,chips were cold.The reason I didn't complain was firstly when I ordered our food mine was as above ,my wife wanted hunters chicken,I told the bar staff that she had got the order wrong,but she insisted she had it right,I knew it was wrong because the bill should have been over £20 instead it was £17,after 10minuites a member of staff came to our table and said she was concerned about our order and changed it to what I asked for,we waited about 15minuites and when it arrived we had limited time to eat it as we were going to the New Theatre to see a show. In conclusion we use wetherspoons a lot and this so called meal was not only a waste of money but a disgrace.,

Absolutely Discusting Filthy place I have been to many wetherspoons in the UK all were fantastic and well managed the whole place is Discusting the management of this establishment should be ashamed must Be a Franchise no way a proper wetherspoons and Mr Martin will be advised .avoid avoid Avoid

Male bar staff needs some customer service training food was below average burnt burger bun ,fried egg was very poor only good point was the 2 female staff member that served us in a lot more professional manner.

I wanted to leave a review, for sandra . She has served me many times and is so down to earth . She is an asset to this spoons . A treasure , make sure you keep hold of her .

Best place to get cheap food and drinks in Peterborough, however the atmosphere isnt the best due to noise levels and fights, and the service is quick but not the best.

Went in for breakfast bacon butties quick half hour visit sorry no photo

The pub had different daily specials that included alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages to compliment your meal. I went with two of my coworkers. We had heard great things about it while checking out the area. The fish and chips were pretty tasty, right temperature, not too much of a fish taste, and the fries were nice and crisp. It was my first time trying mushy peas which were an absolute delight. My only concern was when I ordered at the bar, the bartender had an issue with me paying cash. She made a whole ordeal about the GBP that I had, she called the manager and said they can’t take it. Luckily, I had my credit card on me. But very awkward and slightly embarrassing to essentially be told your cash isn’t good here.

Sirloin steak had 3 lots of grizle in it...Rest of meal OK...never issue on Rump steak but opted because of extras ....rather pay extra to Rump next time!!!

Our favorite Spoons in Peterborough, they are all good, never had a complaint.

So on this occasion when ordering a drink and handing the bar lady £10 for my drink, lady came back with incorrect change so i brought it to her attention, lady then insisted I had given her £5 which was incorrect as I didn't have a £5 note to start with. This particular member of staff needs to take more attention to her service. 11:55.

Friendly staff, Great atmosphere 👌 Will definitely come back

It's a Spoons- it's okay. Odd rules outside about smoking which are pretty unnecessary. Staff seem quite overwhelmed with glasses piling up everywhere. Other than that it's fine.

Brilliant very spacious food excellent service and staff 10/10

Great breakfast with a hangover

It's a Spoons so take it for what it is but food and service vs price paid was fine. Atmosphere was a little flat with no background music but that's how it is

Excellent service very clean staf very polite

Always a regular stop off before a Posh match when visiting Peterborough. As Spoons go on this ocassion it was spot on. A busy Saturday lunch time but all drinks and four meals were delivered promptly, hot and with a service and a smile. The sign of a good management. Some other venues could take some tips from this team.

Hugh spoons. Does what it says on the tin. Worth a visit

Not a particularly nice place .

Went here for breakfast, I've got to be honest, it wasn't great, was a bit cold when it came out. Staff are great though and is good value for money..

Always love an impromptu stop at the College Arms for a glass of rosé and some food. Had the 3 for £12 deal which is really good value. Service great, cant fault the experience.

Ideally located in town and offers an excellent value range of food/drink, especially the cask ales. Despite a restricted service due to Covid-19 the staff were very busy, but effecient and helpful. The interior of this interesting building and garden have recently been refurbished. Not the place for fine dining, but great for a hearty bite and great beer choice.

Get what you expect from a spoons.

Standard Wetherspoons. Only noticeable difference was that the staff seemed quite miserable and disinterested. Prices were fantastic, however

I highly recommend it! I enjoyed every second😊

preferred classic burger,but will never again...small cold,and not testy worse then mcdonalds(my last choice for burger)

The black guy behind the bar wasn't friendly it was like he didn't care

Just a quick breakfast on way to appointment. Upto the usual good standard for Wetherspoons

All I can say is WOW one off the worsed pubs I've ever experienced in my life bar staff so bloody grumpy when serving you an age to get a drink the place was an absolute mess left over glasses on every table so me and my friends decide to stand at a tall table when one off the door men told us we couldn't stand we had to sit I ask where he says down in the corner over there there's table with piles off empty food and glasses and only 2 seats for the 8 us maths is definitely not his strong suit so if you want to go to a weatherspoons in Peterborough go to the Drapers Arms where unfortunately we had just left tables clean and cleared straight away staff happy to serve and door men welcome us in

Ok weatherspoons for Peterborough, will use again

Ordered the Gourmet Sirloin Steak, more like Gourmet Steak fat and gristle..awful.. avoid this on the menu

Food bland disabled toilet filthy

Worst breakfast I've had from here used to love a weathys breakfast!

Nice but more of a drinkers pub few people eating.

I arrived after work to have some basic food and drink. Aware why I was coming to the pub. The smell of stale beer when I entered was off putting. Never mind tired and hungry I sought a table. Every table was full of empty glasses, cans bottles and half eated food plates. I thought just a rus .3 hours later they are still there. No collection at all. I decided to forget the food . Bar staff inept and unresponsive. Glasses piled high and aware there is a certain type of customer but not good to try to mimick the customer loundly under your breath when more sober customer look on. Be respectful of your market! Eventually served and got what I paid for. Drinks fine and price great . Anyway still sitting her= observing filthy glasses and food on every table while bar staff chat surrounded by bar glasses on the bar. Serving food and ignoring the unclean tables. Will this put me off weatherspoons. No. Will it put me off weatherspoons peterborough . Hell yes .

Fast food with beer! Just try to avoid sitting near the loo.

Good and service very good and quick on being serverd

I had called on the phone the day before I went to make sure it would be ok for around 10 people to go there after attending from a funeral, I was told on the phone that yes that was perfectly fine there should be plenty of room for us. When we arrived I spent over £100 on food to make a bit of a buffet table for people (as I had asked the day before but they said they don’t do that) We had all spent quite a bit on rounds of drinks, as the food was being brought out to us only half way through we was then to be told “ sorry you need to hurry up as we close at 6pm” Even though we only arrived around 5ish None of this was said to me over the phone or before/while I was purchasing a large amount of food. So food was wasted as they never even brought the other half of food out. As this was straight after a funeral we was extremely upset.

Great place for a few beers and excellent fish and chips. Service was poor. No condiments offered with our dinner. Atmosphere was good.

Lewis was amazing. Providing everything we needed! Great guy. Give my man some credit. 10/10 for a drinking sesh

Lovely sunny day for a nice cold drink outside in Peterborough.

Didn't eat here but watched as the dishes were coming out to the customers, it was very fast and everything looked in order.

Gret location with a very wide assortment of beers.

always good beer food at a reasonable price... can't complain. .. keep it up jd

Really nice place cheap and cheerful, staff could be a little more nicer,

Typical Witherspoon's really. Good priced drinks with a decent amount of people to have a good night

2 Steps to get in to it, had the pram so had to bump up it. Really nice pub, bright lots of light compared to the other wetherspoons in town. Lots of outdoor seating

Pretty good. It's a spoons so you know what you're getting. Service was alright staff friendly. They had some problems with tills and peds when we visited but they fixed them as quickly as possible to be able to continue serving people. Food was good. Front door was out of action for an unknown reason. The time me and my friends went to leave the other front door was locked too and they were already outside. Seemed the management were escorting everyone but regulars outside for an unknown reason at about 6pm. Might come again when next in Peterborough will see how I feel.

It's just a lovely place to go with friends and family .. I've been going here for a long time now.. Thanks to all working here.👍😁🤪
