The Lord Wilson in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Not much to say really, just a typical good Spoons. Quick service and the food is always great quality. A little crowded at times but that's naturally to be expected.

Toilets are on the ground floor nice place to visit.

Serves a great social service at fair prices

A great place in a great town. With great staff.

Good atmosphere with music late afternoon pre disco. Good prices and food absolutely fine

It was very cold with AC racked up. Totally unnecessary. Didn't improve when we asked for it to be altered

Gareths pub quiz is the most fun night of the week

Great pub, good atmosphere and food. Bar staff very friendly, especially one of the managers called Brandon.

Loads of nice beers Can be very slow service 😴 at times

Ordering via the app is a good tool as it makes ordering quick and easy. There is a short wait time on food and drinks (both of which are value for money).

Had another great meal at The Lord Wilson wetherspoons, I have to say the food in this spoons is the best I've had. Service was fabulous and such good value.

Fine pub, nice cheap drinks, good friendly service and ok food. But what lets this particular Wetherspoons down is the AC - the pub is so cold as to be unbearable. Many people sit with their coats on, suffer the cold for one drink and then leave.

Queing for service,drinks requres addressing Staff super 🤔

It's a little disturbing to see that even when the Euros are on and the place is filled with rainbow flags.. What team is that then? We won't be returning.

Harry was lovely didn't have any cranberry helped me get a different drink

Me and my friends always go to the quiz here and we LOVE Gareth, he’s amazing, he makes the quiz so fun and he’s just a great guy. i would definitely recommend the quiz to anyone. also food is lovely :) can always rely on spoons

Gareth was, continues to be, and always shall be an angel and the perfect host

Reasonably priced food and drink and staff who are always happy to help.

An amazing place for a drink, socialise and celebrate. If I could spend every meal there I would - with the low prices and amazing food, who wouldn’t? Huge shoutout to Mr Gareth Brittain for being a the absolute heart and soul of the pub. You’ve brought me so much joy over the years. #slay

Had a good time more varied clients than the Cherry Tree..

A large open spaced seating area with many tables, some beside the large glass front which is opened up when warm. It's a little tired but it's still very popular on an evening and can get quite busy. One of the more average wetherspoons out there but still better than some.

Lovely atmosphere. Great value for money. Staff were amazing.

Lovely service, as one would expect from a Wetherspoon. I don't care how the food is made, it is always delicious - especially the sticky toffee pudding! Much better than the Cherry Tree!

The Lord Wilson was very busy on Saturday and I was expecting a bit of a delay for service. How wrong I was: the service at the bar was fast and helpful and the meals arrived very quickly. Well done Spoons!

Spoons playing music very strange 🤔

It needs to be brighter. It's dark and depressing . But I love the prices , and my favorite tipple, Abbott ale .

Went for breakfast had a small one which consisted of 1 bacon, 1 Lincolnshire sausage, hash brown, fried egg and beans. This was 4.99 but you don’t get drink or toast but I thought great price. However the food was cold, the beans were cheap nasty tasting , the bacon was chewy , I took one bite out of the sausage but I couldn’t eat anymore as was not very nice. The hash brown full of grease.The only positive I have was my egg yolk was soft. So i basically paid £4.99 to eat a mouthful of a sausage and bit of bacon plus the egg yolk. Not worth the money. Yes you expect cheap when you don’t pay a lot but you add the drink and toast that’s another £3.00 and you can get a decent breakfast elsewhere for that price which wouldn’t be cheap , nasty , greasy or cold

Excellent service great atmosphere Very tasty food 5 star rating

Great place for meeting up with friends lots of room Ruddles bitter was £1.20 a pint wow beat that

rude staff! didn't allow dogs OUTSIDE ON THE STREET! refused to serve a man who had a dog outside on the street and wouldn't even bring WATER for the dog!(the dog was well behaved and didn't cause any trouble)

Lovely gaff boss food staff are boss 🙌 👌 😀

Went for a quick drink last Friday with my Girlfriend both real ale fans

Great place for a good drink and people watching 👀the breakfast is pretty good as well.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, good menu, great quiz master(Gareth)

Let's be honest, folks. Wetherspoons might not be Michelin-starred, but for a good night out that's easy on the wallet, it's hard to beat. And that goes double for their legendary pub quizzes! This past Thursday, I ventured into the wonderful world of Spoons trivia, and let me tell you, it was a riot. First off, the food. I went for the classic hot fudge brownie . Bargain price, perfectly cooked, and left me feeling orasmicly well. Service was spot on too, friendly staff who didn't bat an eyelid at my multiple refills (diet starts next week, definitely). Now, onto the main event: the quiz itself. Our host, Gareth, was a character to say the least. A walking flamboyance in a Hawaiian shirt, he delivered the questions with a wink and a nudge, throwing in some truly fruity jokes that had us in stitches (just you wait until the round on British monarchs – Gareth has a way with puns that would make your history teacher weep). Here's the thing: my knowledge of general trivia is about as deep as a kiddie pool. But hey, that's half the fun of a Spoons quiz! Between Gareth's hilarious commentary, the competitive spirit of the other teams (one table got very into it!), and the sheer joy of getting a random question right (thanks, childhood dinosaur obsession!), I had an absolute blast. Sure, I might not have walked away with the top prize (alas, my knowledge of 18th-century cheese production remains sketchy), but that didn't matter one bit. The Wetherspoons quiz is all about a good laugh, a bit of friendly competition, and maybe learning a random fact or two along the way. Throw in some fantastically priced pub grub and top-notch service,and you've got yourself a winning night out. So, next time you're looking for a fun and affordable way to spend an evening, skip the fancy cocktail bars and head down to your local Spoons. You might just surprise yourself with your trivia prowess (or lack thereof, but who cares?), and you're guaranteed to have a night filled with laughter, good food, and maybe even a Gareth-induced existential crisis about cheese (don't ask, just go experience it for yourself!).

Gareth resuscitated me when I was dying on the dance floor, while simultaneously saving a baby from a burning building nearby. God bless the queen, n all that. Hallelujah. Nowt better than the spoons quiz and it's the highlight of my life, let alone my week. Is that a bleak perspective on my life? Maybe. But I'm a ride-or-die Thursday Quizzer. Edit: Gareth didn't award me extra points so nvm I award 0 stars out of 5 and I'm only *exceptionally* hurt by that. Smh I thought I was your favourite goth 😭😭😭😭😭😭

gareth my queen. we love the quiz!!

what a place!!! came here for the quiz and it certainly did not disappoint; general knowledge, cheap food and drinks, great atmosphere, and the fruitiest music to match the host! absolute 10/10 experience and will most definitely be coming again.

There’s Plenty of Wetherspoons out there, so many within walking distance in most places. But you can’t fault The Lord Wilson for its atmosphere, staff and everything else. You rarely get any trouble and when you do the staff sort it out. Table service is fast and accurate, much better than at some other spoons (Becketts Bank for example). Bar staff are always ready to serve and are friendly, and understanding when you can’t hear them if it’s busy, which it usually is, which isn’t a complaint! But the absolute cream of the crop is Gareth and his weekly pub quiz. We haven’t missed one in about two years now, and have won a few times too. It’s been the highlight of the week many times and we all look forward to it. The price is reasonable and he always draws in a great crowd with his banter and fun themes. It would be a lie if I said I wouldn’t go to another Wetherspoons as it won’t compare, but whenever I visit another spoons I can’t help but compare it to The Lord Wilson

Absolutely astounding place. Some guy called…. Gary(??) served us and…. What a guy. Beautiful inside and out. Wore the cutest dungarees too, really showed off the thighs on him.

We come every Thursday for the quiz, not only are all of the staff very friendly but Gareth who runs the quiz makes it a highlight of the week. Cheap drinks and good food. 10/10

As I entered the building I was delighted to see all the different wonders of the human world surrounding me. The joyous man supping his cheap ale on his own, the youngsters enjoying their drinks of E numbers and vodka and many others that you can only truly enjoy on visiting this phenomenal establishment! Also, the bar staff…you would!

What a magical place. You walk in and are hit with the aromas of affordable beer and good scran. The staff are lovely and always are up for a laugh. Super friendly. But the highlight has to be the amazing Gareth. A true Huddersfield a-lister. His spoons quiz draws in so many people and no wonder. It is so fun and I’ve never seen a quiz like it. Went to a Leeds spoons quiz and it was awful in comparison. Thursday nights at LW are a MUST!!

the quiz is the only good thing in huddersfield

Love the weekly quizzes and Gareth😍!! Staff are amazing and food is excellent 😋

The Lord Wilson what an amazing place! The staff are absolutely top notch people especially Gareth who runs a earth- shattering phenomenal quiz on Thursday evening which you would not want to miss for a week of your life and will remember for every second of your meaningless life. If you were ever to think about writing a bad review you would be immensely stupid and your life is clearly that meaningless and boring that the only joy you get in your life is trying to ruin other peoples fun

Up the urban climbing water challenge!!

the food is life changing. the service is fully developed my frontal lobe. the quiz is the best part. Gareth who hosts the quiz actually saved my parents from a burning building when i was a child and put the fire out with his bare hands. we would have lost everything. he is my hero.

Love this place my fav place in Hudds for a decent feed friendly staff and the best atmosphere ! Been frequenting for years

Limited menu compared to the cherry tree same company of pubs

Good decent food and very family friendly.

NOISE!! WHY?? I thought Whetherspoons was all about no background noise. Then they go and stick blaring (and really bad) rap music on at 5pm! Completely spoilt the meal. Couldn't even hold a normal conversation.

did not eat there only had a drink love place very busy

Good atmosphere pleasant staff and very clean

Its a Wetherspoons, decent enough, the toilets are on the same floor 🤣

Quick and friendly service, many families at lunch on a Sunday

Great breakfast. A decent place to visit on a midweek morning. Thank you.

Great busy pub, you get exactly what you pay for

Cheap and cheerful food, however what made our experience worth 5 stars was the amazing host, Gareth. Stay cheerful, Gareth, it’s infectious! Someone give him a raise 😋

Not visited before and was pleasantly surprised.

The atmosphere is always good and it was very busy today. I never see the tables being cleaned but the staff are probably too busy serving all the tables!

Clean, great staff, friendly atmosphere. Just go!

Went to Yorkshire on a day trip and stopped at The lord Wilson for breakfast as we made our way through Huddersfield. Harold Wilson was a two-time Prime Minister of the UK and an MP for thirty-eight years. He was born in Huddersfield, and it was always his dream to have a Public House named in his honour after his death. Possibly. Up stepped the Wetherspoons chain, as always. They took over a building that looks like a cross between High Street chemist and a Job Centre, turned it into a pub selling cheap food and ale, name it in Harold’s honour and the rest is history. And so, we were at The Wilson for lunch on a wet Wednesday. A couple of curries, a boneless chicken basket and an Ultimate burger were ordered. We waited... The pub wasn’t overly busy, but a steady trade was passing through. Wetherspoons can range in cleanliness from ‘Spick and span’ right through to ‘Skip’. And the Wilson hit the above average mark. Only the odd chip had been ground into the carpet and our table had been recently wiped clean. And I mean just before we arrived and not simply that week. Our server was polite and cheery and delivered our food with a smile. The curries were very good indeed, though, as ever the poppadoms were a touch on the greasy side. A small complaint that barely merits a mention. The chicken was delicious, so our daughter insisted though the chips weren’t as hot as they could have been. And nor were the ones with the burger, according to our lad who devoured the burger like he’d been on a hunger strike complaining about the conditions in our home. The food was good enough, the pub was clean enough and the overall experience was good. Harold Wilson would be delighted.

I had lunch here this week with my daughter in law and grand daughter of 7 months. They have high chairs. There were lots of family groups in. The food came quickly and was very nice.

Nice place ambient atmosphere but service needs to speed up

Lovely fresh breakfast and a warm welcome. Attentive young man was really friendly and showed me how to use coffee machine. Really relaxed comfortable atmosphere.

Good coffee and free refills are just what you need on Monday mornings 😉

If you want a cheap night out, then this is a good stop. Drinks at very cheap prices and occasionally some good deals.

Good price for drinks , nothing spectacular about food

Absolutely brilliant place to go on a night out.

Ordered cheesy chips for £5 and got barely any chips, a glass of apple juice also costs £2:40

Exactly as you’d expect from spoons. Not as full of alcoholics as the cherry tree

Had a great mixed grill on a very busy Sunday whilst the brass band competition was on. All service to the table with greats service. Nothing to fault , highly recommend the Lord Nelson and the staff. Thank you

Bar area noisy but to be expected

Loved going here for a meal either before or after the cinema. Somewhere to relax & chat without being too noisy. Not been in since new ownership

It's a wetherspoon's, what more do I need to say..,, only that there are too many kids running around..

Its a spoons not a lot to be said, food was as expected, service not brilliant

The bouncers at night are an absolute joke rude and arrogant especially a certain one

Cheap and cheerful. Nice breakfast wrap and lovely coffee.

I had an absolutely fantastic time The staff were all lovely I loved the music and had a good time eating, drinking and dancing Super affordable, deffo recommend

Really busy nice friendly atmosphere

Called for breakfast . Pleasant staff . Efficient service . Food hot when arrived which was a bonus .

Food was prompt and good value for money. Always a good range of cask ales at a price the pocket can stand

Well it was a witherspoons, not as good as some that we have had but edible none the less.

Cold beer ,nice staff, and it didn't break the bank.Another Wetherspoons off my list and a nice afternoon spent with my husband. It's worth a visit if you're in the area.

Average weatherspoons experience

I am always down for a Weatherspoons for lovely cheap food and drinks with or without children. I am currently hooked on the butter chicken burger, and my kids love fish and chips. Less than £30 to feed a family of 4, and everyone is filled up and happy. Great staff, too! A daytime drink when kids are at school is bliss.

Just the job for a mid morning breakfast butty and coffee

Fish and chips lovely Want some more

Visited for breakfast & is usually quieter at this time. The serving staff are friendly & efficient. Good selection of breakfast dishes available & at good prices.

Had drinks there with friends the bar staff were extremely polite and helpful especially a young lad called harry who helped me with my change spot on

It's a Spoons...... This one very noisy though good job I'm deaf.

Cheep and cheerful no complaints you get what you expect

Clean enough place, breakfast was one of the better ones ive had. Staff friendly.

Very good prices and food was lovley. Xx

I had a nice breakfast here, quick service. Tasty food.

Fairly standard Wetherspoons. Had breakfast - OK, no issues. Hot drinks machines in & out of service whilst I was there.

The staff are amazing. Food was excellent. Cost is spot on.
