The Hippodrome in Shropshire

Had to have my mug changed as it was dirty but apart from that, the restaurant was clean, it's easy to order, plenty of seating, great prices and good grub. Food came really quickly and staff are helpful and friendly.

Good food, good service, good value.

Great visit here, prices are incredible.

Work going on at the moment so no food and the app isn't working. Miraculously, you can get served pretty quickly now as they are not prioritising the app orders, so are serving the bar much quicker. It has the longest bar in Drayton, and also the longest wait!!

Cold place, pizzas were cold in middle. Staff were unfriendly

You know exactly what you're going to get, always wholesome and good service again

A beautiful property built in 1927 as the Hippodrome cinema, now a Wetherspoon pub. Situated in the centre of Market Drayton. Good food and drinks. Fast friendly service. Clean and tidy. Outdoor seating too.

Good quality value meals with good service

Only spoons I know where the toilets are not up several flights of stairs, friendly staff

Better than your usual 'spoons pub. Food was good, arrived fast and quality sized portions. Easy going atmosphere and good for a quick pint or two. Today, duty manager Tony did an amazing job and needs a special mention and thanks. His professional attitude was good to see.

Well priced food, excellent beer choice, cosy atmosphere, what's not to like!

Disappointed lovely pub but not enough staff on Tablets dirty and packed with cups and dishes. Only one staff member at the counter to take orders when pub is to busy .

They didn't have the new food I wanted which was advertised over all the tables so I ordered something else and it was 10/10 tasting and speed of coming out, drinks were great too at a good price.

Another decent wetherspoons. Right across from the bus park/station.At the edge of a lovely market town. Good food and drink at great prices. We'll definitely go here again.

Good food service good. Rather noisy, people being over loud

As with all JD Wetherspoons en-counted to date, the pub has excellent friendly staff with good service, a cost effective menu and drink choice. In this instance I would like to say how honest and helpful the staff there were, especially when we inadvertently left valuables on the back of one of the chairs there. The staff went out of their way to assist in their return. Many thanks.

Nice little weatherspones pop in try it out

Our local, always so efficient. Fantastic food and drink you get what you pay for. Emily was a star on the bar so friendly and chatty fantastic member of the team, serving late on a Saturday night with a smile. Always a pleasure. 💖

Pretty typical Spoons. Onion rings were good and the chips were hot and fresh. Burger was, well, not much. The Pepsi Max was better than the burger!

My friend's chicken wasn't cooked properly so it was sent back and a refund has been issued.

Standard wetherspoons. Know exactly what you are getting for a good price. Had breakfast here twice this week already.

A cloudy, cold, damp Monday in Shropshire and happy for it! We wandered around the shops, the charity shops and then it was lunch time and into The Hippodrome we did go. Quiet, not busy, lots of seating to choose from. Ordered drinks at the bar and then selected 3 items from the "3 for..." selection. Chicken Wings are SO good! Chips hot, crispy and delicious. The Pizza? Underdone, mushy crust...wanted hubby to send it back but he just carried on and ate the bits that he could. Not an outstanding meal at a Wetherspoons but it suited our needs for the day. Wetherspoons is in the midst of lots of special deals and you just can't beat the prices.

Great value for money...staff work hard.. very good in bar...thanks.

Great prices and a good selection of ales.

Cheap and cheerful. Great value, low cost and friendly staff

Popped into The Hippodrome market drayton with my girlfriend haven't been in there for years I had a pint of shipyard netty had a glass of wine the food looked nice coming out of the kitchen had a chat with some old friends service was good atmosphere lovely went to witherspoons in market drayton for a couple of drinks with my girlfriend you can't beat witherspoons for value for money the staff were lovely and friendly

We ate here as there wasn't much choice the evening we arrived here. We had two tikkas and a child's pizza. It was all as expected. The food arrived quickly. We'd happily eat here again.

Very hit and miss. Lunchtime is very good, evening not so. Too busy for the staff.

Ordered mixed grill and it was the worse one ever had. All meat overcooked and hard. Couldn't tell what was which type, ie lamb, pork loin etc. All meats cut very thin. Would not order this again

Nice cheap drinks, Jess sorted me out cheers Jess

If you like being ignored by the manager is a checked shirt then you've come to the right place. Serves everyone else waste of time.

If you like to be ignored by the manger in the checked shirt then this is the place to be.

Bulk standard Wetherspoons. Nice building and good town centre location. Always a good selection of well priced beers. Food looked nice but didn't eat ourselves. Will go back and try the food.

Absolutely great local Wetherspoons , however really needs a update or a good clean . Can't knock the staff they are great .

Don't get me wrong ,the food was good a part from the pizza .. Had to send them back twice due to them been heavily burnt and on the 3rd time they said this is the best we can do .. Still burnt but a little better.. On the other hand my Chicken tikka masala was bang on 😎.

Always a nice place to have a breakfast and staff really helpful, cannot fault, chef must be happy as cracking cooked eggs 😉

Great place. Excellent value food.

Lovely bar staff (Jess really helpful) and chilled atmosphere. Thanks!

Came in for the euros final - took multiple people asking the manager to turn the TV on so we could watch the build up, he initially kept refusing amd said he'd put it on just before the match started. I ordered on the app, added a charity donation for a care bears pin badge as advertised on the app. Went to the till to collect it and while I was waiting two women were serving drinks and talking - "some idiot ordered a charity pin badge on the app" and laughing about it. I interrupted and asked if they had them, to which they suddenly changed their tune and said no they discontinued them over a week ago but I could find them in other shops or pubs. Food came, my burger was missing bits stated on the menu but it was fine otherwise.

Really lovely great outside area real suntrap. Always busy staff great shout out for Callum, Also lovely new girl behind the bar x

Only Popped in for a coffee as i was driving that way’ nice friendly staff ‘ had a lovely coffee out of the machine.

A good wetherspoons, plenty of space and kept tidy. Have gone many times after sporting events with the team, always able to find a table and serve everyone.

Called in Wetherspoons. Market Drayton Saturday morning for breakfast ordered at 1017 food came at 1112 overcooked half pieces of bacon and everything freezing. Asked for my money back and left. Went to Shepleys butchers got 4 breakfast sausages 4 pieces of back bacon £5. Went home 10 minutes in the air fryer poached egg and beans job done. Tells a story.

We visited at lunchtime and chose from the vast menu selection which included a drink. Prompt service via app ordering and everything was as expected. It was relatively quiet when we were there at the start of the lunchtime period but I was pleased to see I didn't have to clear and clean the table before our food arrived.

This was our second visit for refreshments as we returned home from the Midlands. On both occasions outside was very busy but relatively quiet inside. Easy to get served at the bar (no need to use App) and all drinks to the expected standard at the usual reasonable Wetherspoon prices.

Used to be an acceptable Wetherspoons but standards have slipped. Tables not cleaned and glasses left on table. Rude staff tried to tell me how a Leffe should be served. Will not be returning.

Good choice and price for breakfast but mine was a bit of the cool side.

Lovely atmosphere, much bigger than expected but split into sections for more privacy

How ridiculous. So you can understand not allowing dogs in a pub especially if they serve a lot of food but we were turned away from using the outside area at the front of the pub because we had dogs. They stupidly suggested that we sat close to the wall and either made our dogs sit on the wall or on the public footpath on the other side of the wall. I don't think I've ever been turned away from using an outside area before. Have a rethink Witherspoons!

Brilliant place very cheap and cider on tap 👌

Brilliant place to have a drink and food in the middle of town

Wetherspoons make good use of old buildings, provide good food and drink at cheaper prices than anyone else. The Place to Go!!

I Had the American breakfast and it was terrible pancakes were hard ! Eggs hard sausages cold plate cold but the hash browns were ok

Been a few times in the evening and it’s everything you expect and with a good service. Three of us went on Saturday morning for breakfast - not impressed. Couldn’t order an ‘All day brunch’ at 11 am. No explanation or apology. Ordered a big breakfast that didn’t come with advertised mushrooms. Again, no explanation or apology. Even when I asked the person collecting the plate - nothing.

Great interior space. Vast area, warm, great choice of colours and wall displays. Friendly, hard working staff. Just the best all day brunch of any Wetherspoons I have ever been in. Ground floor toilets was a bonus, instead of the usual route march up stairs. All in all 10 out of 10

It's a spoons so everything is adequate to have a decent visit. The beer range is small here, but usually well kept and as a venue for a quick bite to eat, it's quick and decent quality. It can be a bit variable at times, with pizza 'extra toppings seemingly dependent on what they have available.

Wetherspoons,former cinema,good range cask and other ales,good food menu,good value

I was in Market Drayton a month ago and had a good meal here with really good service. At the time it was very quiet and the staff had very little to do. On my return I ordered the same food a mixed grill. This time the chips were stone cold the meat was extremely dry and like cardboard. The only good thing about the meal was the sausage the rest was rubbish. Even the onion rings were under cooked. Lots of dirty tables and poor customer service. I’m sure they don’t care and don’t read these reviews but it’s the only place in town to get a meal after 9pm.

If I'm comparing to other chains I'm probably going 1-2 stars, but it's a Spoons, so I will rate this placed based on other Spoons in nearby towns. This place is straight down the middle, not the busiest, not the quietest, food is average, which is expected, but it's not expensive so it's on value, it's kept relatively clean and tidy too, some Spoons are simply disgusting, this one is ok. Service seems fine, I use the app so other than food hitting the table there's not much to go on. Doesn't have its own parking, but really isn't far from car parks, 2 or 3 minutes walks from either direction.

Great place to pop in for a pint after work and the prices are outstanding to. Fine for a cheap night out

Food does the job and is a decent price. Great for the kids

Come in here regularly but today we had thr best breakfast yet... hot and delicious 😋 makes such a difference when the beans are hot! Thank you to today's kitchen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wasn't the best visit this time only had the one drink

Lovely place, nice atmosphere and lovely fireplace. Toilet: gent bogs is all clogged up and couldn't use it but other then that it cleanish.

Bit cold cause fire hadn't got going

Sam is ace, lovely and smiley 😃 credit to your company. We would like more staff like Sam x

Sam is a credit to Wetherspoons market Drayton we would like more staff here like Sam.. unlike the jobs worth duty manager you employ here called Lewis

Typical Wetherspoons. Great priced drinks and food. Staff are always friendly

Very disappointed with our food we had curry but unfortunately could hardly see any sauce

An excellent pub, with great food and a great range of drinks etc. Very reasonably priced too, with great customer service and a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere / décor. I visited with my family, who are also big fans of this pub! Thank-you. :)

Good place to get food at a good price .

This place is always full and the experience is always patchy. Today was especially bad. We ordered the all day brunch and a medium rare steak. The brunch was missing a sausage and bacon so I went to the bar to ask. Despite being told twice and even asking to confirm, the lad still only brought out the sausage not bacon. Then the steak was awful, a cheap and nasty cut full of sinew and still raw - lukewarm to the touch in places! The only thing I can say was good was the coffee machine. I know, you get what you pay for, but not being funny, we didn't even get that!

Staff is ok the food well not to good but you only get what you pay for. I don't think I will go back but try it and see what you think

Had a mixed grill - good with baked potatoes. Service excellent. Definitely value for money. 4 years later, we visited again. ❤️ still value for money, good service and wholesome food. Excellent choice of beers.

Nice place to eat friendly staff good value for money good atmosphere always busy

On this occasion great but on most occasions terrible because the heating is never on

This place is heaving on evenings and it's nice to go on the afternoon as well when it's quieter. The food is cheap but is always hot. You get what you pay for but the meals aren't bad given how cheap it is. Drinks are cheap as well. Good choice of meals including vegetarian. A lovely building full of character. Nice to see a pub that is still thriving.

The food is disgusting, have had a few things on the menu for the past few day. Not my choice to come back ,I'm with my grandparents. I've been to alto of weatherspoons and I have to say this is worse than the Wilfred Owen in Oswestry. The cutlery isn't clean and the food is 🤢 the staff are the only good thing about the place!

Various places to sit; cosy nook, bar area and a light dining area. A good choice of food on the menu. Good place to go if you don't feel like cooking. Parking is mot available on site but there is street parking and car parks nearby.

Prompt pleasant service and a lovely meal

As with everywhere prices up and portions down, however the worse thing is that your glass is filled to the brim with ice. This is especially galling when you have a coke, which means when the ice is removed, its not even half full!@!

Went here yesterday 3/9/23 group of 6 food was cold eggs rubbery not presented well just dumped on plate. Staff brought drinks over just left on tray and walked off terribly service

Nice atmosphere. Knowledgable young man on the bar knew about the beers he was selling. All around a good place to visit.

Usual Wetherspoons fayre. Pleasant staff, clean tables. Better then most.

Typical Spoons (#124) Food was nice, sat by the windows people watching Little terrace Not much kerb appeal Nice staff

Food was OK girl who served us was very rude

Awful experience last night. Called at the pub about 6.00pm intending to have a couple of beers and a meal. One girl behind the bar serving and a queue of people waiting. Eventually my turn arrived and ordered my wife's drink then mine. Paid for the drinks only to be informed that my chosen beverage had run out at the pump and would be brought to our table asap. After an extremely long wait and a few requests to staff delivering drinks to nearby tables decided to leave. Will not be returning.

Nice decor and large interior good service.

The pub looks tired and needs a refurbished.

Great value for money venue, food is as you would expect from Wetherspoons great for the price, the beer is superb

Didn't have food so can't comment, went with scooter club and had a good time , service excellent, good atmosphere

What's not to like about a spoons!? Cheap beer and food

Just had a drink outside. All on one level inside, even toilet s, makes it wheelchair friendly. Looks really nice inside.

As I now live 2 mins from Spoons I am a regular visitor and find ALL the staff very friendly and helpful, they are all a credit to the company, long may it continue and thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great food, friendly service, very clean and good prices. The pub itself is beautiful.

Really dark inside had to go outside to read Menu 😀

Always a great breakfast, but count your eggs.

Used various Wetherspoons on occasions in the past and, while the food has not been great, it has always been very good value for money, unfortunately this pub in Market Drayton has proven the exception. Both meals ordered were very cool with the mixed grill ranging from cold to tepid. In my opinion insufficient care and attention had been paid to the basic storage/cooking temperature of the foods. Perhaps they may benefit from advice being given to them by Environmental Health. I won't be revisiting.

Food is always good here, I recommend the eggs benadict for breakfast. Free coffee/tea refills all day. Clean and tidy and the staff are friendly.

Good food, excellent service and fantastic prices better than most spoons
