The Commercial Inn in Calderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Standard fare for a Wetherspoons...And liked the large windows at the front so you can have a beer and watch the world go by!...Quite busy (on father's day) but still served quickly with the friendly staff... quite like the quieter area round the back of the bar when eating.....called in a good few times now. One of the better 'spoonz' in the area!

Always a pleasure to visit this great pub serving lovely food and great drinks

Very friendly staff fast service plates warm for food . Cheap drinks

Really good atmosphere. Great food 😋 very very cheap for drinks £3.54 for a double gin and tonic. It's a wetherspoons so good value for money.

Love Spoons. ♥️ Great clean environment. Fast, App based or friendly bar service. Free WiFi and unrivalled value. Bacon and egg bap with unlimited fresh coffees or teas for £3.60. Why wouldn't you? Meals for as little as £5 including drinks. This is my local one and one of the smaller ones but you know what you get here. Never a week goes by that I don't pay a visit. Come in Tim give me shares! Downsides You need to address the scourge of indoor vaping here, it's becoming an epidemic. At times tables are left for a long time without being cleared. I've found myself having to clear a table for myself. Not hygienic. The measures on some drinks could draw the unwanted attention of Weights and Measures

Very nice place , food very good and so are the drinks .....I highly recommend it ....kev....xkxxx

The pub is ok but they need to address the measurements on certain fortified wine I imagine a few people have been paying too much an getting very little back

Great bar friendly staff brilliant atmosphere

Cheap cheerful unfortunately the app wasn't working but service was fast and polite we went for breakfast I love the porridge and fruit and bottomless coffee

Ordered a large breakfast which was ment to come with 2 eggs only got one after mentioning it to staff manager came over to say sorry which is fine but then after finishing my breakfast a waitress turned up with the other egg amd said sorry for your wait I tried explaining that I had finished but she just walked off also how you can burn toast but it still be bread on one side is beyond me

Father's Day treat? Not exactly. The meal was cheap-ish, but given the quality, it felt overpriced. The chips were undercooked with an odd smell and taste—almost chemical. They were inedible. The BBQ chicken breast was a disappointment: an overcooked piece of chicken with BBQ sauce poured over it, not marinated or seasoned. It came with overcooked vegetables. BBQ sauce with soggy veg? yuk.beans, chips, and corn please. Not appealing at all. The pub had no music, and everyone was on their phones. I had to listen to five different people watching TikTok videos at full volume. The staff didn't care, or the chef—or whoever was cooking that day, perhaps the cleaner—didn't care either. I won't be going to Wetherspoons here again.

Not a bad pub just no music and the atmosphere is quite dead sometimes.

Great place but needs to add unlimited coffees and also food is a bit bland

A good Wetherspoons pub with the usual high standard that comes with the name. Friendly staff and good food and beer at great prices.

Me and Christina went here for breakfast as we wanted something to eat but it was cold and Christina's mushroom was raw and no sausage but we were hungry so did eat it and didn't complain

Breakfast was really good value for money + refill coffee for £1.65 can't be beaten!

Didnt have food so cannot comment only a fleeting visit.

Yeh you know the standard Wetherspoons deal. Cheaper than chips. Great service. No music. Great food offering but not exactly gourmet. Still love it though. You know what you're getting and they rarely fail to deliver.

Always good to have a Spoons around when you are not sure about the other local bars. Decent beer, reasonable food. Can't complain.

Food was tasty and well prepared. Prices are great as all Wetherspoons are.

This was my second attempt of ticking off a new spoons. First time I tried it was closed for the day. Easy to find with the train station less than a 10 minute walk away. There's also a small car park across the road and also free roadside parking close by. I had a very good pale ale for £1.99. Quite busy on a Friday afternoon despite the unpredictable weather. Plenty of small spaces if you want privacy.

Great place for a good range of real ales at a reasonable price

Usual Wetherspoon's fare - cheap and cheerful. Good value, always adequate.

With no table numbers on any of the tables at the front of the pub it was impossible to use the app.

Great priced standard breakfast at 3.14 clean fresh quick service even when busy

Food was okay peas was cold 🥶 But the atmosphere was great bank holiday Sunday

Usual Spoons food, piping hot, friendly staff, very noisy

Fantastic service, good food, drink and value.

We nipped in at the start of a long walk. As I approached the bar the barman said to a local who was buying wine at 10am on a Saturday ‘who are this lot?’ To which the local said ‘walkers!’ And the barman tutted and walked off. Then a ‘waitress’ walked up and said ‘what?’ And I said ‘oh.. can I get a breakfast please? And she said ‘which one?’ And I foolishly didn’t know the menu and she rolled her eyes and tutted. I then looked at the menu and. Picked the traditional breakfast and a coffee. The coffee machine didn’t work. The food came and was cold. But. Suddenly everyone was friendly again. So maybe it was a bad moment. The clientele was interesting. I will never. Ever. Go back.

Oliver lee happy bank holiday Monday

We had food here earlier in the week, they brought out a pizza which was burnt to a crisp, I took this back myself and asked for it to be changed, I wouldn't mind but it was the manger that actually served it to us, they dropped the chicken strips on the floor and had to cook some more. The order wasn't put in correctly when my husband ordered it and so the drinks which he had asked to be up graded for an extra 20p each to a pint size didn't get done, when my husband pointed this out the lad taking the prder did try to rectify it but couldn't, the team leader came across and was extremely rude to my husband and started to talk over him, he tried to shush her and she didnt like that and so it ended up in an argument that could have been avoided. We were given 2 free drinks when he went to the bar to get some more. The chips were like eating cardboard....would definitely not eat here again. Your staff need to be taught some customer service.

Good service from the staff. Maybe we popped in on the wrong day as the food was absolutely awful. Veggie curry was bland, the popadoms were coated in oil and stale, but the naan - omg it was disgusting. Stale, hard like it had been microwaved! Some very odd people in there too. Safe to say we won’t return.

Food same as usual. However impressed with young lad who put bottle of wine in an ice bucket.

Just popped in for a couple of beers the place was buzzing as usual . Great 😃

We came to the Commercial thinking at least you know what you're getting with a Wetherspoons and the drinks are cheap. My husband's £2 pint was the best thing about our food and drink but thankfully our friends' company superseded the setting. The food menus were all dirty and needed a good clean. Food and drinks were served quickly after ordering using the QR code. My pasta tasted ok but half way through I discovered a human hair which was clearly not mine as it was twirled around some of the food half way into the dish. To be honest it did look like a pubic hair and made our group feel pretty uncomfortable. I told the waiting staff about it. They just told me that it wasn't their kitchen staff's fault as they'll have just opened a packet of the food. No replacement food, no comp off the bill, no nothing. I'm in catering and retail myself and understand that sometimes mistakes happen and imperfections are inevitable but at least have the customer service in place to deal with it well. Together with the dirty menus I wouldn't go back here as I don't have any trust in either their food hygiene or management systems.

Very modern looking wetherspoon.

As a former manager of a hospitality establishment, I am appalled by the horrific experience I had at this establishment. This place is an absolute disaster and should be avoided at all costs. Firstly, walking into the establishment, I was immediately struck by the overwhelming filth and lack of cleanliness. The floors looked like they hadn't been mopped in weeks, and don't even get me started on the state of the restrooms - they were a biohazard zone. The staff at the commercial ] were beyond rude and unprofessional. They seemed completely disinterested in providing any sort of service and were outright hostile when I tried to ask a simple question. It was as if they had never been trained in basic customer service skills. To make matters worse, the food I received was not only subpar in quality but also looked like it had been sitting out for hours. I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to get seriously ill from consuming the food served at this establishment. It's clear that food safety and hygiene are not a priority here. In all my years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have never encountered such a disgraceful establishment. I urge anyone considering dining at commercial to think twice and choose a different place to eat. This place is a health hazard and a complete embarrassment to the industry.

What a disgrace never seen such a dirty establishment in all my 31 years on this planet . I had to ask the staff multiple times to clean the table so I could sit down . On every single empty table was full to the brim with plates and left over food . I had no patience left at this point and got a cloth of the bar and the cleaner and cleaned the table my self while the staff and the manager was stood gossiping Laughing behind the bar . As experienced as Manager in hospitality my self I was totally shocked how they responded. Not even apology. Also didn’t eat the food as it came out thrown on the plate and looked like it had been tampered with . I’ve taken videos of the the establishment to send to environmental health the places is a hazard and if front of house looked as bad as it did I can’t imagine what the kitchen looked like ! DONT EAT HERE !!!

Sorry to say, when we we're having a drink all the tables we're full with stuff. Staff didn't bother to clear it. I will not come back here.

Nice place plenty of room and seats to eat, took my toddler on a way to one of our playgroups for lunch but there weren't enough high chairs around but we managed. We ate the paninis which were nice but a little dry maybe or maybe the wrong bread to have used and it turned a bit tough to eat even for me.

Sunday 2pm out of half the food menu and some beers

Compared to other weatherspoon, this one is smaller and does not have free parking, but overall service is very good.

Went for lunch with my son and grandaughters, got the 3 small meals 2 pizza and a chips. the spicy chicken burger with hash brown, spicy chicken wing, onion rings and chips, 1 American burger with chips, the 2 small pizza was nice with the chips but the spicy chicken burger was not nice, all cold not spicy at all, had it before in different Wetherspoons and it was delicious! Nice little side salad but this just looked awful, not worth its money at all. American burger was tiny and cold. We decided to have a desert to make up for poor meal, pancakes with maple syrup and ice cream, kids loved it. I decided on the cookie dough with ice cream, it came and I presumed they had made an error and given me the mini one! He said no it’s just melted, (still Tiny!) he did take it back and brought another out but decided not to bother warming this one! It was gross. The staff walked round with miserable faces didn’t even speak to us whilst serving us. I defiantly shall not be eating here again. No effort made at all.

Can't fault it. Good range of beers, all good; cheap to. Clean throughout. Staff friendly. Good place to be.

Food and drink okay, nothing special just general spoons quality. Place was filthy and full of uncleaned tables.

Like any spoons it's cheap and cheerful except this pub is very open bright and modern. Love calling in after a long walk.

Foods not bad more like fast food but enjoyable not expensive good selection on ales

The food was good and reasonably priced. They don't seem to change the variation of Ales as much now and since the man who kept a good pint moved to weathespoons (Barum top) in Hali

Great pub warm and cosy.for the price you can't go wrong.chatty bar staff always happy to help.food was delicious hot and appetising. Would highly recommend

Clean & tidy Wethers in Sowerby Bridge with the usual menu to suit most people. Tried the new Christmas dinner, not bad at all but can't comment on the beers because I was driving :(

Wow how ignorant are the staff. I was in on Saturday 11th June between 17:30 and 22:00 and not one smile, not one person with any manners. I let three servers past on my way to the toilets and not one thanked me. The bar staff like to slam your drink down on the counter and then you loose 1/2 an inch off the top of your pint. The chips were Luke warm, the cheese garlic bread came out uncut but they had kindly supplied a steak knife to hack it up with. 4/11/23 Other than a very apologetic staff member taking my pint away, before I'd had a quarter of it, it was a much better visit. At least the staff member apologised as she thought I was sitting at a different table. And she brought a replacement

Handy outside seating for a post ride coffee/ beer when covered in mud

Leaving do. Not too busy on a Sunday avo. Very cheap beer.

Always come down for a breakfast, about 9am, it's usually quiet at that time and you can have a pick of the seats. Food always fast out and does the job. For the price you can't go wrong :)

Went for breakfast and it was really quiet. Staff were really nice and food came quickly.

It's a Weatherspoons, nuff said

Very poor customer service. Not been to a wetherspoons for ages so didn’t know the crack. Ordered a breakfast and a coffee. Forgot to ask for the breakfast well done. I was advised by the person who was at the bar to speak to the person at the bar. Five minutes later there was someone at the bar . Took them a while to find my order as the table number didn’t exist. Well i couldn’t find it when i tried to sit there and it wasn’t where id asked to be seated. Breakfast was plonked in front of me. I asked about my coffee. I was advised to go to the bar and fetch my cup. I did so, not realising the cups were behind the bar. Went to the coffee machine and it had no milk in it and was erroring. Left my cup under the machine and told them their coffee machine wasn’t working. I was asked if id tried the other coffee machine. I said “no” and left to get my coffee next door at a cafe where I got my coffee with customer service thrown in. To be fair wetherspoons said there was an offer on coffee only a pound. So I really enjoyed my really airey latte which was also wind swept rained on latte as I treked down the street. So a very expensive non-existent coffee.

Superb value, nice and comfortable

Felt like the staff couldn't be bothered took 3 attempts to get the order right it was pathetic service will not be recommending the commercial

Great place, a bit chilly on the day we went, pleasant atmosphere.

Yeh was a lovely lovely day so we sat out side to enjoy the weather just disapointed that they dont have kronenbourg any more

Quick food though was very busy all warm all good food was very busy The staff nice

Great place to meet with friends

Can wait over half hour for drinks through the app that's if they remember as for food order extras don't expect it to arrive how hard it is to get things correct also stuff missing on the h breakfasts absolutely useless... Come on staff use the few brain cells you have to get things correct

This is one of the good weatherspoons inns. A good meal. Very helpful staff.

Fantastic service by Brandon, best service I've had here in a very long time. Food was as good as usual, value for money is good. Once again, thank you Brandon

One of my favourite local wetherspoons Nice atmosphere,good prices and nice friendly staff

Just dropped in for a few drinks 🍸 🤪

Had no mustard for my steak but overall good place to eat

I visit Wetherspoons regularly in various locations...But this one in Scarborough has gone downhill it's dirty the tables don't get cleared or cleaned ...I requested our table be cleared of plates etc but nothing was done we eventually moved to another table which was sticky with split drinks we ended up cleaning it ourselves...won't be visiting that one again.

Ok, pretty much what you'd expect from a Wetherspoons. Good location. Very busy.

Not the best spoons I've visited, but it's OK. Set on the main road through sowerby bridge with outdoor seating to front and rear. Not the best selection of drinks compared to some of thier bigger pubs, but worth a look if you're after a quick pint or a cheap meal.

Nice clean rooms and friendly staff! Though the shower was a little slowly as there was a lifting station for the grey water. I don’t really know why they need such a thing in the 3rd floor and the shower was full with water after a minute. Another negative aspect were the tables in the breakfast room / pub. These were sticky and didn’t feel clean. Nevertheless, the breakfast was great and one could choose from a variety of dishes. The dinner in the pub was also delicious. Overall it was a good experience with some negativ aspects.

Good pub centrally located. Food served well. Excellent presentation for Spoons ☺️

Place was steady with customers. Ordered food, and it came within a few minutes, piping hot.

As you would expect... Good beer and affordable too

Popped in for a quick pint. It's ok. Plenty beer to choose from, and cheap.

VIBRANT WITH GOOD SELECTION OF FOOD AND DRINK

Generally I like Wetherspoons but not this one! I came as part of a birthday party for drinks and sat with my mom and sister and my small, well-behaved dog at a filthy table just inside the door where you can smell the toilets as the “beer garden” (crowded area full of smokers next to the main road) was full. As I was queuing at the bar, a staff member came to tell my sister that dogs are not allowed anywhere on the premises, not even outside - my little guy hadn’t done a thing wrong! So I left my family party (we were part of a big group, many of whom had already been served) and took my dog down to the Artemis on the canal wharf, where I sat outside with him and gave him water and snacks from their doggy station, and was served quickly with good food and smiles. I definitely would NOT go to this Wetherspoons again because it’s stinky, mucky, and dog-unfriendly. Better at the Hog’s Head over the road which has a bigger and better outside seating area and dogs are welcome inside and out. 1 star to Wetherspoons for their smelly toilets (that I didn’t even go in!), dirty tables, and no-dog policy.

Reviewed again after a particularly bad visit. Spent £7 to get a very small, cold chicken burger, which had none of the extras on that I'd paid for. Cold bacon and a cheese slice on top for over £2 extra. Food is now disgusting and the service isn't much better. Staff don't care, dirty tables and empty glasses littering the place and there was hardly anyone in!

Top Wetherspoons the The Commercial Inn also busy serving great value food and fantastic range of drinks. Lovely staff and well managed 👏👏

Good prices, great atmosphere, the usual starting point for a night down the bridge

It's a standard wetherspoons. Cheap beer. Lots of space. Modern ordering. Late food. Friendly staff. What's not to like?

Nice pub good staff 1st time I've had a weatherspoons pizza it was the best pizza As good if not better than in Italy And to J2 o's and a Italian lemon drink for just over a £10 outside with the sun in me face

Service is despicable. Waited at the bar to order breakfast but men got served before me even though I was standing there for 10 mins. Ordered smashed avocado and tea. The girl then said is a traditional breakfast all you want. I said no I wanted smashed avocado. By the time I got served someone had taken my table. It was not that busy. Then my breakfast came along with a traditional breakfast.. why?? Then no knives or forks and the only serviettes I could find were used ones on the floor. Tables were full of dirty plates and no people. No one cleaned the area or tables. Thanks but no thanks. I do not recommend this one Manager needs some training to get staff to do there job properly

Cheap and cheerful, one of the most reasonably priced places in Sowerby at the moment

Decent staff, all very polite and helpful. Food was good for a spoons dinner

Cheap and cheerful. Busy little spot

Nice food ,very helpful staff .

One Star. We went there whilst on a walk on the bank holiday Monday 1st May 2023. We sat OUTSIDE with our well behaved Collie dog ( Ziggy) not near anyone else either. We Ordered our drinks to have OUTSIDE and were then told that Witherspoons National Policy is NO DOGS ON THE PREMISES including OUTSIDE. I pointed out that they were NO SIGNAGE TO STATE THIS, as we were leaving others were arriving with dogs and they were also turned away. This pub is within 100 meters of the Canal where many people walk thier dogs, they spoilt our day. We will now eat and drink at the NAVIGATION PUB at Sowerby Bridge which is Dog friendly, and BOYCOTT Witherspoons i suggest other Dog owners do the same, same on Witherspoons!!!! As always have a great day 😁.

Top Gaff, Good Staff, Poppy's a right laugh. Who wants it?

Can't beat the Breakfast in this place for the price

It's ok. Tables could do with a wipe. Even the bar needs wiping more often. Same as everywhere else. Not enough staff

My Partner Kim quite often calls in for a pint and one Member of your team Brandon Horrabin stands out from the rest, he's very professional, conscientious at all times, always polite, he is very welcoming towards customers. As my Partner knows so well as he's been a Publican himself you need more employees like Brandon on your team unlike others that a

Very busy and just what you'd expect from Weatherspoons.

Great atmosphere would not recommend to others but the food wasn't great

Food and drink typical of most Wetherspoons, a decent meal of good value. This one is nicely positioned on the corner of a busy junction with a wall of windows where you can watch the comings and goings outside. There is a general friendly atmosphere and the food is delivered quickly to your table.

Cheap and cheerful. Get what you pay for really. Foods alright quick with lots of options. Staff were quite blunt and on the verge of rude and quite unhelpful to be honest. The wait at the bar was also incredibly long.

It's a wetherspoons, can't go wrong

What can I say ..It's wetherspoons! good value, nice food, clean pub with friendly staff.
