With 4 others , drinks were really cheap happy with bar part, Food part terrible , half of it raw, most of it cold and sent 3 plates back to chef microwave, burgers tiny, chip portions tiny , first time in witney spoons for 5 years and will probs give it another 5 years til I face it again , cooks just can't cope with the volume I imagine it's hell on earth in the kitchen

We go regularly on Friday evenings for pint of Draught Doombar or similar but no draught amber ales at all on tap no fish . Very disappointing no wonder it was 3/4 empty . Bar staff didn’t seem bothered .

Everything was going well until we tried to use a cake for our daughter's 30th birthday. We went to light a candle and a staff member came over and very abruptly told us that this was not allowed. My husband was told at the bar that we were not allowed to bring food in from outside. We had already had 2 rounds of drinks and 9 meals. However the manager did say it would be OK. We have never been to a restaurant or pub that doesn't allow birthday cakes so we were very surprised.

We went here for a meal, the food was fine (always a bit hit and miss) however I found one of the members of staff very rude which put a dampener on the meal, the issue was I asked if my niece could have a drink with her meal as per the government website if she is accompanied by an adult and eating she is allowed a small cider or beer but he didn’t seem to know the rules and wouldn’t even ask! He had recently had a run in with another customer and think he decided to take it out on us!

Let me say that the staff are lovely people, but my goodness, WHAT is the issue with the coffee making machines? I regularly go here, meeting friends every Friday, and often in between as well. The two machines are really popular, especially in the mornings. The last three or four times I have been, there have been problems, such as one machine not working, some items not available, no milk, etc. I asked the barman about it and he asked if I wanted a refund - NO, I simply wanted a cup of coffee. This is not simply a one off, PLEASE do something about it.

For a company that has won awards for it's toilets I would expect a lot more, but the ladies was not good. In the cubicle I used the seat was broken and not safe to sit on, and I can't imagine when the bowl last saw a brush or a squirt of bleach! Apparently, according to my hubby, the gents was no better and 2 of the 3 cubicles had no loo roll despite being " checked" by a staff member just 25 minutes previously. One loo was leaking out of the bottom of the pedestal. Drinks station for tea and coffee was very dirty Food barely warm. The whole place lacks some love and pride in itself.

The men's toilet looks like a bomb has exploded the pans are filthy and really unhygienic Value for money ? I think not I ordered two pasta Alfredo, costing £ 17.50 I was at least expecting a bowl of pasta But was presented with a miniscule portion that would be hard to fill a toddler ... Not happy feeling ripped off and certainly not satisfied Also when you ask bar staff for a drink with no ice , I actually mean no ice my request was totally disregarded ... I expect at least some value for money But the company of weavers and Witherspoon's delivered none of this And to top it all the food we received was cold Chucked into a microwave and served Just take heed of my comments If you are expecting value for money and a degree of hospitality Forget it .... Beyond a joke is an understatement

It’s amazing to me that in 2024 we still have to deal with people in the hospitality industry who have a chip on their shoulder and air between their ears. After having a round of drinks and food, terrible food I may add, my friend bought a second round. On the way back to the table he tripped on one of the broken bits of decor and spilled most of them. After this I went to replace said drinks and was told that the manager was refusing to serve us again, because my friend spilled some drinks. Thankfully there were many other, much better local establishments to go to. Given that the Wetherspoons was so empty, I imagine that’s what most people chose to do anyway. In summary, crap food, crap bar manager and even shonkier floors.

WILL NOT RETURN. I was sat at table 4 opposite the kitchen. Came in for lunch at 2pm on Friday. I was told 10-15 minutes for food. Food came after waiting 45 minutes. When I got the food, the sausages was dry(must have been sat in the kitchen for a while) . After receiving my food I had no apology for the wait. One of the kitchen assistants came out polishing the cutlery, he was singing loudly about how he hated this job, swearing, and dribbling - this went on for at least 5 minutes. I mean this is a nightmare. Stay away from this place, for a few extra £ go and get some good service. Just for the record it wasn’t even busy.

We picked a table in the corner of the pub for some peace and quiet. What we got was far from quiet… A family of 2 Mums and several kids sat on the table besides us and constantly shouted at their kids. Verbally abused them actually. It was very hard to hear. Staff would have heard it, so not sure why they think it’s acceptable to allow this to happen in the pub?! We ordered our food and a few items were missing from my partners plate. When she asked the waitress (a young lass with a pony tail and glasses), she said nothing and walked off, clearly in a strop. My partner walked over to near the kitchen hatch where x2 staff were, including the young woman, and she was shouted at by staff in the kitchen “there’s no tomatoes, it says at the bar!!!”. Then x2 small mushrooms and an extra egg were literally thrown at her on a plate. TERRIBLE customer service!!!!! I understand pay is rubbish and it’s a non stop job and can’t be the easiest but management need to have a word with their staff. I did tell the manager at the bar about it, because I was shocked at the attitude of staff. Between the rude staff and awful people sat next to us on the table we could not wait to get out. In fact we’ve never left a pub so quick. We will never step foot in this spoons again!!!!!

Great location in a very middle class town serving working class food and drink. Dont complain just go to the much more expensive pubs in the town and get treated the same but pay more money. Its Spoons after all and it was great for us. Its simple food and well priced drinks along with decent decor.

I get weatherspoons isn’t exactly known for its quality but todays meal was awful. My pasta was a tiny portion and looked like it had been cooked last week, we had two kids pizzas, one we had to send back because it hadn’t been cut-his seemed to take ages and it still came back hardly cut. Chips also as if they were cooked last week and just reheated. Poor

I enjoy this place so much, but most importantly I enjoy the barman James, his bottle spins have me weak at the knees, he brings so much to Wetherspoons and should be running the place single handedly, which I’m sure he already does. He works wonders in the kitchen and can really heat up a bag of curry well, I’m amazed at the talents of this boy and think Tim Martin should hand over his chain to this man. Thank you James I’ll forever be admiring you from afar my love.

Honestly, with all his self proclaimed business expertise, you’d think that Tim Martin would employ someone better to work in his pubs - or perhaps he doesn’t pay enough to employ anyone with enough brains to work for him. How someone can get two items wrong on a four item order is baffling. One meal and three drinks. The burger should have had beef chilli with it. It came topped with sliced chillies! Of two guest ales, the wrong one was poured - the excuse being that the requested one was off. I’ve been in lots of other ‘Spoons over the years and the staff have worked well within the limits of the system that they work within. This one doesn’t. It gets one star because I cannot give it zero.

I'm a big Wetherspoon's fan, as I remember their first pub in Muswell Hill. I've just visited the one in Witney for about the 4th time, and the food is really good, as usual. It's a big enough pub to get away from small children and loud customers if you're quiet like me, and the young chef looked very professional and committed to his job. I am also a fan of their growing chain of hotels, so would recommend them to all (and no - I'm not on the pay roll!!) Just giving credit where credit is due. - Julia

An interesting homage to Witney’s historic past as the weaving capital of its world famous blankets. But don’t kid yourself as this is your standard Wetherspoons offer - average food, good value drinks and filthy toilets. Go in here and you’ll see the less wealthy side of rapidly gentrifying Witney.

This pub restaurant is no longer fit for purpose. The moment you walk in the door you are confronted with vacant tables piled high with plates and half eaten food. The carpets are a disgrace matted with dirt, the furniture filthy and broken. The latrines used to be state of the art, and pristine, they are now soiled and sticky. This at 11,00am! I suspect nothing has been cleaned since the excesses of the previous night. I elected not to stay, if the public spaces are this bad what must the kitchens be like? I decided to have just a coffee from the self vending machine. "Sorry its out of order we have no beans". No! says another member of staff, "he can have a black coffee its milk we are out of" You could not make it up! Avoid like the plague.

I am a fairly regular patron at this establishment, and generally I enjoy the ambience, choice and value for money offered. However, and sadly, this occasion was a disaster. My nephew and his wife came for a visit from Dorset, and after going to Blenheim Palace to see the Christmas Lights Spectacular, wanted something to eat in Witney.

Just do not know what has gone wrong with the Company of Weavers. It used to be the best pub in Witney. Now it seems to run without a regular manager and a complete lack of organisation.

This Weatherspoons was the best thing to hit Witney, from old to young, children welcome during certain hours, clean, fabulous menu, but oh dear...............not sure where to start, the menu has been reduced so much it’s half the size it used to be and things always unavailable. It’s starting to look grubby, never enough staff, food terrible quality and so much more expensive, you can get better almost everywhere for the same money now. Even the toilets are disgusting, think it needs closing for a refit. Not our first choice these days, hope you read these reviews because they are accurate.

Ordered our food, and by the time we sat back down the food was coming out. Wouldn’t even feed the food to my dog. Best part about the meal was the beer and even that was flat.

This place is good for coffee you can refill as many times as you like. Breakfast is fine, though a few times it's been cold, this was due to being very busy and staff not getting the food out quick enough. Sometimes tables not cleared and wiped over so can be messy.

Here we used the Wetherspoons app which worked very well. The table were a bit messy when we arrived but they were eventually cleared. Steak pudding was tasty and good portions

So we came out for a meal for our friends birthday and because we were laughing to loud we got stopped from being served before we even managed to get dessert.

Decided to pop in for brekkie and had this miss fortune to arrive just after a coach trip and arrived for coffee, the queue reached the steps just inside the door. So we walked past and found a table having seen the sign for the app, a quick download later and our drinks and meals were ordered. Barely a few moments later our drinks arrived and by the time the last people in the queue were getting to the bar our food arrived. Good honest grub in exactly what Wetherspoons delivers, safe, comfortable and affordable surroundings. Can’t get over how ace the app is I would recommend to all just not on days when I’m hungry. lol

Very untidy tables and surroundings. No pinor Grioto again! Also no gas in the pumps on a busy weekend. Staff were more concerned with their finish time than the ever expanding queues. A long wait at the bar and non attentive service.

What is going on!! Terrible evening, place not busy yet full of disgusting dirty tables and food on floor. Had to ask staff to clear a table to which they cleared JUST ONE! Bottomless coffee a joke, 2 machines empty again had to ask staff to fill to which I then had to chase up only to be told run out of beans..... this was after approaching the same member of staff as before who looked totally fed up and couldn’t care less and mumbled as I approached the bar. We complained to the manager who surprisingly found the beans that 2 others couldn’t. The attitude of the staff in this place is damn right rude and there is a real lack of any customer service skills right up to the manager. Other tables complaining same night. Such a shame as really let’s Witney down.

I had high hopes for this place, being a wetherspoons. The interior was really nice and I asked for my steak medium when ordering food, but it was cold! My pint was also knocked over by one of the bar staff, but it wasn't a huge deal as I got another. Didn't honestly feel welcome either. 2-stars I'm afraid overall.

We recently visited for a cooked breakfast after a heavy night out... All of us order ordered a cooked breakfast, by the way, the batman was very polite & asked if my friend would like to swap her mushrooms and tomatoes so she asked if she could have another egg instead & was then charged extra.... We waited and 20 minutes later, THREE of us received our food to which my friend(the one allergic to the mushrooms and tomatoes hadn't) so we waited longer....

We went with friends on their way to a brewery tour. We had a lovely lunch and a nice beer. The pub wasn't too busy. Staff were friendly. Food was prompt and good. Great start to the day.

On a busy Thursday night around 7-30pm one dark haired lady was doing her best to serve at the bar and the only other member of staff, a blonde lady was endlessly picking up bottles on the shelving behind the bar, looking at the liquid level and putting them back down again in so doing studiously ignoring all customers waiting. I eventually was served by the dark haired lady. After about half an hour I went back to the bar to find the exact same infuriating situation but this time many more customers waiting. I waited so long watching the blonde lady pointlessly picking up bottles and putting them back down again that in the end I walked out and went to a different pub. What was she doing other than ignoring customers at a busy time and so putting unnecessary pressure on her unfortunate colleague and driving customers away.

Great pub - good for winter as no garden for the summer, They have guest ciders which are still and cloudy and only £2.30 a pint. - where may I add I cant get anywhere else in oxon and they are selling some of the best ciders for less than half the cost than other 'trendy Cotswold pubs'. Great gin selection too and tonic is free - so cheap here and a good crowd - not drunken louts lol.

As mentioned in March, always enjoyrd steak night. Sadly our medium well steaks came to us medium rare - one being raw inside. Sent back and cooked better, but one steak must have been from near the rump eand and not good.

The grotty surroundings in this Wetherspoons let’s the place down. The beer, as always with a Wetherspoons is well kept and cheap. My steak and kidney pudding had been over nuked and the gravy(portion controlled by being heated in a polythene bag) was meagre.

Booked table for 5 in advance. Roasts were OK but vegetables cold and had to be reheated. Veg lazagna tasted like a microwave meal. Chef came out to apologise and offered a free dessert but to be honest we just wanted to leave. Restaurant was empty, so food should've been better.

Chip portions not consistent, seem to get fewer and fewer. Asked for battered sausage and it came without batter, second time in a row. Lost our custom.

We ordered lunch, sadly their fish cakes did not disclose cheese only discovered it when I cut into it. Initially chef seemed uninterested, they eventually sent a young member of staff gp who bought me a replacement for the fish cake and apologised. Did confirm they will indicate on the menu in fiputure.

My wife and I had called in here on Saturday 16th September to see if we could grab a bite to eat and a drink. Unfortunately at lunchtime they did not do any food but did kindly suggest another local place for us to eat at. After about an hour or so we returned to have a drink in the bar area and relax in what we thought was a superb traditional local pub which just had so much character. One of the locals made us feel very welcome and came over and had a chat with us both for about 10 minutes. He gave us some local history info and mentioned about the village and its links with the tv program Downton Abbey. All in all a very nice visit and if we were ever in the area again we would not hesitate in calling in. Thank you.
