The Glassmaker - JD Wetherspoon in North Somerset

The J D Wetherspoon's 'Glassmaker' pub, on the edge of Crown Glass Shopping Centre, in Nailsea, is a large watering hole offering good value meals and drinks. It was warm and cosy today even though it was a chilly autumn morning. The member of staff that served us was pleasant and friendly. Edited 04.04.24 to add - the pub continues to offer a good value service.

I often have fish and chips on a Thursday evening but it was suggested I would enjoy Spoons

Just Love Having Breakfast Here. Cheap But Good.

Very clean environment, nice people and delicious food

Good atmosphere staff friendly and professional Great breakfast.

It was a bit disappointing. The place was cold. The chicken wrap I ordered had hardly any filling, it was pathetic. I wouldn't of had the front to send it out from the kitchen. Not the best of visits. On a plus side, the staff girl behind the bar was pleasant and friendly enough.

Great value, nice staff and not rough like some other WSpoons.

Great place to go to for a cheap meal.

A great place to chill and enjoy the food and drink. Had the veggie chill and beef lasagne. Very tasty and filling.

Great place to go to when in Nailsea

I visit this JDW probably twice a month to meet with friends for lunch ... It has all the things you would expect from this chain of Pubs ... Always a good experience and the prices for food and drink are very competitive as you would expect from a Wetherspoons .

Very busy spoons. Staff lovely but could probably do with one extra member

Generally good food and beer. A good place to see friends. Very relaxed. Using the Wetherspoons app has the benefits that you can continue chatting and your food and drink are delivered to your table.

The steaks for two of us were tough and inedible and were sent back. The replacements were not much better. The premises are very echoy and the restaurant is like a big gold fish bowl.

I ordered a steak asked for medium, and when it came out to me, I cut into my steak, it was raw, after I complained they took plate away and then they brought it back another steak and it was tough as old boots, I will never go back in there ever, one of the staff had an attitude problem.

Just need another coffee machine to help with the number of customers

I’ve always had a good experience here! The food is always exactly what I’ve wanted - definitely one of the better Wetherspoons and worth a visit if you’re after good quality, good priced classic pub food!

Good food affordable prices Love ❤️

Lovely place to have a drink and relax. Really impressed

Carpet and chairs in need of a deep clean

This has to be the dirtiest Wetherspoons I have been into ! The tiles on the wall the muck under the tables the stairway to the toilet ! Cmon Mr Spoons get a deep clean done in your establishment

All round, pretty good. Pizza was nice

Standard Wetherspoons, unfortunately let down by the poor service as the team member just plonked my meal down on top of the menus instead of in front of me.

Nice food, great service and fantastic seating area

Fill of the usual foul-mouthed bum alcoholics.

Good table service using the app, no long wait.

Love the Wetherspoons app, saves SO much hassle for patrons n staff . Got exactly the food we were expecting , served by smiling and professional staff . Hint : if the plates we’re warmer to start with the food won’t go cold by the time you’ve got round to eating everything you ordered. Bar that , I’d thoroughly recommend this eatery and will def be back . I had to find the waitress to tip her , perhaps that could be added to your app ?

Lovely Miner’s Benedict breakfast, perfect every time !!

Very nice place service and food good we saw the portion size before ordering and decided to share no problem with the waitress brought us another plate and knife and fork

Had a few pints with family bar man told us Green king IPA was sold out but good atmosphere would go in again

This pub had no atmosphere at all.neven for a weather spoons..the only good thing was the staff. They were lovely helpful and polite.

I visited while my car was having some work done at a garage locally. Very busy on a Saturday morning around 11.20 we ordered the traditional breakfast and everlasting tea and coffee the breakfasts arrived very quickly and looked very appetising and were freshly cooked and eggs were spot on well done staff.

Had breakfast here, great food, great prices, kids loved it as well, very friendly staff. Have eaten here before and never been disappointed.

Amazing place and amazing service xx

As in most weatherspoons order breakfast comes out stone cold beans and eggs toast undercooked

Well worth a visit, food prices are very good , food is great, & very helpfull Staff . Well worth a visit.

Great refill option on hot drinks idea for a quick meeting

Had a small ham, egg and chips. Delicious. 🙂

Standard spoons. You know what you get

Very nice welcome fab choice of affordable drinks great backround music and tvs so could watch sport etc in backround very clean and comfortable defo be going bach highly recomend

It's a Wetherspoon, so a bit lacking in atmosphere, but decent beer and friendly helpful staff.

Great prices, good beer and good food. Fantastic shift leader Friday afternoon

Quick place to have tradicional breakfeast. Not the best quality but will do for a fast service if you are in a hurry.

A person cannot view the menu online, the website just goes round in circles. Not very helpful. The food looks unappetising and it is obvious they use the cheapest food going hence the prices.

Excellent food and service here.

I like this Wetherspoons, it's nice on the outside, it's nice on the inside, but I thought it was very over the top telling my son that he couldn't eat his crisps in there, just because they didn't sell them, it wasn't like we didn't all have drinks. I'm surprised she didn't complain about me giving my baby, baby snacks too!

Lovely place great service the staff are lovely

Good service and food hardly any waiting for our breakfast, only thing we have to comment about is our baked beans were not very hot..

My son has got food poisoning through eating chicken at the place don’t eat the chicken there

Pretty standard Witherspoon's experience but the staff team there seemed great with a good atmosphere it is one of the more interesting and busy Witherspoon worth visiting.

A dependable well run Wetherspoon's outlet with exemplary service and engaging staff.

It was a very comfortable supportive atmosphere to talk and enjoy the food and drink

Very few staff....but they work very hard.

Great food and prices. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Nice little pub, good selection of beers and food and very clean.

One of the nicest wetherspoons I have visited.

Pleasant Wetherspoons. Good parking nearby . Not rowdy.

You been in one westherspoons you be in them all. Food was hot beer was cold. Had to send my burger back though as ordered a double was sent a single was sorted quickly

Very pleasant meal, interesting decor, tables not too cramped together, staff very pleasant, excellent garden area with covered smoking section, ales a bit limited but found one I liked. Overall one of the better JDW venues in Somerset/Avon unless we just got lucky that day!

Really nice surroundings, good food and friendly service.

Lovely food and the stuff were so great .

Nice beer Nice food Nice prices

Not the best wetherspoons but quicker than some.....

Nice place, lovely food ! But tables needed clearing.

Ok for a spoonies chain. Friday nights are extremely busy, overall its OK.

Food not up too their normal standard. Just warm . Tables not cleared and staff did not seem to care

Not the usual 'Spoons - mostly noted for the resurrection of older almost rundown establishments, this place looked like it was custom made - enquiries to young, colourful and amorphous staff, elicited scant verification. However, the place is on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, as most 'Spoons are, so deserving a visit. The Abbot was passable.

One of the worst wetherspoons I have been to recently. As always the food, and drink is affordable. However, the kitchen staff really need training. The burger we ordered was so burnt that we could have taken it home to use as a hockey puck. The chips were clearly cooked in the same oil as the fish. Luckily, none of us were allergic to fish! The all day brunch... More like the all day crunch! Bacon was burnt. Beans were cold. The sausage was probably microwaved. The venue is really nice, and it's a real shame how disgusting everything was. Tables, menus, and the floor are sticky. Staff clearly need a new cleaning rota or a better sense of direction of doing their job. You couldn't order from the Wetherspoons app, so that probably doesn't help anyone either. It's a great looking venue, and it's a real shame how poorly managed it is.

Great spoons, food always good here

I had a nice breakfast here, not much different to any other JDW really.

I can’t recommend this place enough! Amazing staff, extremely friendly! I’ve just got in here and greeted by the lovely Rayna so professional and polite!!!

Great value for money-always get a good meal.

lots of ingredients missing so alot of the breakfast option where limited and being 15 minutes past 11 we could not select anything off the lunch menu

Food served quickly. However the oil they cook with made my chicken burger taste odd. The chips n onion rings were grand.

Breakfast is not very good Most of the food cold can't even finish as it all stone cold before im even hafe way through will not be returning

Terrible food and customer service avoid

Some good meal deals available during weekdays, price includes a drink. The Wetherspoon app was helpful too.

There was a girl called Chloe she had short black hair and was very professional and kind, I really think other staff members such as Libby (she had really long dirty blonde hair and had a baby face/ looked about 19/20 although she was saying about how she goes to uni in Manchester) should learn from the nice waitress, Libby was drinking vodka behind the bar straight from the bottle and refused to share, she was beautiful it’s a shame her personality didn’t match her looks!!

It is what it is. I like it and have been a few times now.

We popped in to go for a lunchtime anniversary meal. We saw that husbands beer on offer he bought IPA 99p .Good 46 yrs present ! We went 1 3 .30 ish to avoid lunch- time rush .(we popped in for bottomless hot chocs earlier in morning ; lovely waitress told us best time for our celebration ,bit quieter.) Had excellent service chose a steak with sauce meal and a large mixed grill. I chose an apple and raspberry J20 and a lemonade for the 2 free soft drinkd. so I could mix it as I wanted. We divided up the meats equally ,shared my extra onion rings,half the fried egg and started our special meal ,which arrived in barely 10 minutes with a lovely friendly lady waitress, There was still a good atmosphere and we loved all the meal .The larged steak with jack daniels sauce was perfect medium rare .Too full to eat another morsel ,we took home the 2 sausages ! We waddled to the car replete. I have a mobility issue couldnt climb all those stairs; but was able to use the downstairs disabled toilet which made life much more easy for us .On the whole we find the Glassmakera really great local food and drink venue and would recommend it heartily.

Great food lots to choose from 😋 very cosy. Staff very pleasant.

Visited today as a party of 3 adults, 2 children. Pros Accessible facilties Plenty of tables Reasonably priced dishes Friendly service and plenty of staff around Highchairs available Colouring crayons available for kids Cons Almost everything I touched was horribly sticky including the highchair, our table, salt and pepper shakers, menus. Cutlery had food left on it. Really needs a deep clean of everything. We will come back but will be bringing sanitising wipes again. I did see other people requesting spray to wipe down their tables, so not just us noticing lack of cleanliness.

Always a good menu choice for us and excellent service too and super value!

Drinks were prepared quickly and to a high standard and the 'order to table' service using the mobile app also worked well, with drinks being served quickly.

Lovely breakfast with great service.

You know what you're getting, good basic food and drink at a reasonable price

Great Wetherspoons offering standard value for money with friendly staff

Excellent breakfast with black puddings, American cheese burgers and thick cut chips.

Great value drinks and food.Terrific range of drinks.

Superb food great service well priced

Lovely place great outdoor seating with pod things and heaters. Great ambiance

I really would not recommend the food in this Weatherspoons, the burger was burnt, the mixed grill was like leather, long waiting times due to lack of staff. The manager was however very pleasant, overworked & had not had any breaks. He did offer to replace the meal. Really poor experience.

A modern Spoons, but the usual superb value. Staff very cheerful!!

Foods good but it can get pretty busy

It's Spoons- cheap and cheerful, and always busy!

Just passing through for a nice pint

I had a nice lunch here. Would go back again

Not the prettiest building, but very nice inside . very good!

Good food and prices but additional staff required to clear tables after lunch time rush

Food was decent and hot, which isn't always the case in a "Spoons" especially the chips. Not the most unusual building in the shopping centre. Good overall experience
