The Pillar of Rock in Bolsover

1 st time visit today Friday 22nd March 202 Car park next to the pub. We were actually on the area visiting Bolsover Castle . We went in the morning for drinks and toast before visiting the Castle and again for lunch. What a lovely place very clean and a great atmosphere. The food on both visits was lovely, friendly customer focussed staff and good prices.

Visited Bolsover Castle and went next door to The Pillar Of Rock for a soft drink after a long walk. Nothing special but an adequate stop for a rest if nothing else. Customers nearby didn't seem overly happy with the food they were receiving and so we declined the chance to feed ourselves up. It was ok, just ok really

My friend and I went for a meal and I ordered a small pizza and my friend had sausage and mash. When the food arrived my pizza was Luke warm and had no rocket on it ( I’d ordered the ham and mushroom)! I asked the waitress if she would return the pizza and warm it up or make a fresh one, and put some rocket on it. When she returned with the food it was still only tepid in temperature and no rocket in sight, I was told they’d run out!!! Why not say that when the food was brought out to us? The staff can barely speak, they grunt at you like stroppy teenagers ( in fact most of them are). After 3 attempts the pizza came at the right temperature and was actually quite nice. The 1 star is for the temperature of the food and the attitude of the staff. I get it was a Friday night and it was busy, but that’s not an excuse for poor standards and ignorance!!

We paid a visit to this Wetherspoons the other day and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and service there. One staff member inparticular went above and beyond her role, Grace we think her name was. She was lovely and we hope Wetherspoons recognises her outstanding service, a lovely young lady ! Thankyou

Went tonight 27/12/2023 for a nice cheap family meal, x2 adults x2 16 year olds Ordered food no problem, my son 16 fancy an alcoholic drink, The law states that under 18s can have a drink with a meal and with an adult over the age of 18..(47). Then it started.. A rude member of staff came over asking for his ID, this was after all food, drinks had been brought to the table and towards the end of our meals. I explained our side, to which I was told its not JDW policy, I apologised and took the drink off my son.. I thought that was the end of it. At the end of the meal which was OK, my daughter wanted a glass of milk. We were refused the 70p glass because of "the alcohol incident" My partner went to talk to the manager (a short young bloke) who was hiding behind his bar staff and wasn't confident.. The alcholic drink we ordered was a VK blue, my partner was told that we broke the law because the law states, beer, cider, wine to which VK is neither, therefor we can't have the milk... Jeez I get rules but come on.. I think some staff training is desperately needed. Merry Christmas 🎅

One of my favourite Weather spoons, good atmosphere,friendly staff, like the burgers but love the curries. Regular tea and a beer on a Friday with the family to start the weekend, plus, as a bonus, all our cycle club rides tend to start and finish here.

Returned with the grandchildren after visiting Bolsover Castle 23/09/23 , The Pillar Of Rock did not have the soft drinks ordered as they had run out of stock, Bar Lady was wonderful then it quickly went downhill. Cutlery was filthy with food stuck to the 3 Knives, I ordered extra Chicken breast for my Pizza when it was served I asked is that it 8 or 9 small pulled chicken pieces, the waitress said I will go get you some more only for the manager to return to ask your not happy with the chicken on your pizza I'm told (or similar words) No the portion is ridicules I said, he reply that is half of one chicken breast, I replied well it must have been a very small chicken then, manager replied well that is a portion, I replied well there was far more on the pizza when we called in 3 weeks ago, He replied well that it, I replied well I will put my comments in writing then to be told well that is up to you and walked off, towards the end my Pizza was gritty goodness knows what was in it then my wife found a hair attached to a chip picking chip up by the hair, Oh dear, Grandsons Pizza was overdone dry and tough and he could not finish it, The wife later in the night who had ordered the Vegetarian Katsu Curry was ill and for the most of the following day. NO it is Not a clean place to eat and we will certainly Not Return Ever, Derby / Buxton Ilkeston all great as many others but the Pillar of Rock is Disgraceful all around.

We sat outside in NON SMOKING area .. people was smoking ,even though there’s a place to smoke round the other side and no staff told them , to me it’s a health hazard to people who look after themselves.. this really needs addressing.. as they take no notice of the no smoking area !

Yet another superb meal at The Pillar of Rock. Served by Tammi at the till. The staff here have really good customer relation skills. The food is excellent, cooked to perfection and very well priced for people on a limited budget. I can only repeat my previous comment, Excellent!!!!!!

After going with a friend day before took mum for lunch she fancied American burger, Would not recommend!! Burger and 6 chips, was dearer than massive fish chips and peas day before, looked like a child's portion,

So disappointing. Family of 4 waited nearly an hour for food, we could see 3 off our meals waiting on the hot plate for 30 mins until the last meal was brought out. All food was over done. My steak was unedable. Sat next to the kitchens watching staff scrape food off the plates into a bin. Would of been better if that was actually In the kitchen.

The atmosphere is what you expect from a pub with food aesthetics and, with the option of app ordering, delivered everything to the table. The food was cooked well and very well presented. Staff were friendly but we didn't have much interaction as they were only around to deliver the food. You can add or remove things from your order simply enough and I had no trouble paying the cheap prices they charged for what I had.

Absolutely rubbish, show off sh!t,I would rather go to the local chippy than this dump,rude staff,tables a mess from other diners

We call here for lunch or dinner fairly regularly. The service and standards are excellent as usual.

Visited tonight with the family as we do on a regular basis but not had the best experience tonight. Ordered food and drinks on the app drinks came all good, food twenty minutes after order told no fish and chips can we find another alternative ( found another meal not offered a refund as it was lower amount. 15 mins later food started to come out received four of the meals 5 mins after the last meal appeared no sign of the onion rings or sauces !!! Asked the floor member she bought the onion rings ( this was 15 mins after the first meals came out )still no sauces . My son in law then went up and fetched the sauces off the hot plate and asked where the other one was at this point we had ate our dinners . Think if the pub was busy I could understand but it was empty no customer service what's so ever on the floor staff. Hoping to hear a reply back from head office.

Absolutely appalling service in the pillar of rock Bolsover. We go every other Friday around 5/6 and the staff are really nice . I order a veggie sausage sandwich for my son who is a vegetarian with no problem at all. Tonight however the server...

Just back from Pillar of Rock, where I've been for vegetarian breakfast, coffee and sparkling mineral water from 08:00 until 10:00. Food and drinks were good, service was brilliant, everywhere clean. I used to go most mornings pre-lockdown but only 2nd time I've been since....

Nearly cold soggy breakfast Generally you know wetherspoons is what it is but the breakfast was abysmal. Clap cold beans, soggy waterlogged mushroom, how when should be fried?? Nothing on the plate or the plate itself was hot, just nearly luke warm. Best thing about...

The Pillar of Rock is a large JD Wetherspoon pub that's directly adjacent to the village's single tourist attraction, Bolsover Castle. That's certainly the reason why the pub can get VERY busy during lunchtime, especially on weekends. The layout of this place is very straightforward...

The place needs a serious shake up, management is absolutely terrible, rude oldish woman behind the bar doesn't care about anything but her own problems. Horrible smell always floating about the pub, like dead rats to be honest. Staff are miserable, food is barely edible...

Great food @ a great price Great staff Great experience Will be returning in the near future. Until then keep up the hard work.

Untidy Tables filthy Bar service terrible Manageress miserable Girl behind bar to pre occupied with her hair and pout than customers. Good pub needs a shake up

breakfast here with granddaughter.....spoonies foods have all been good which i have been to before......just ok this nothing special.....traditional breakfast ok egg hardish bacon lukewarm....probably would not bother here again..although found the bar staff very helpful...give it 5 out of 10?

The food is never good quality here, unlike other Spoons I have been too. I had a large mixed grill which included a pint at £3.10p. It was edible, but lacked presentation, I even found an odd chip on my plate. Beer was good though,...

Bank Holiday Sunday A few of us nipped in for breakfast at 10.35. Pleasantly surprised that it wasnt busy. Unfortunately our breakfast arrived at 11.50.. (1 hr 10mins) after ordering.!!! They had also ran out of bacon and brown sauce. To cut a long story...

Food and service poor. Arrived for food at 12pm. Went to the bar to order and was ignored by two members of staff. Totally understand about Wetherspoon app orders but not even a simple ‘be with you in a min’. When food arrived we were...

Had a lovely day at Bolsover Castle and then popped to this Wetherspoons right next to the castle entrance and car park. One of the nicer looking Wetherspoons, even the ladies wash room had a wonderful view of the local scenery!

Went last night, ordered a mixed grill, medium rare. Got a strange mixed grill cooked to death. Other than the sausages the meat was as tough as old boots. The service staff, who are all lovely said that she would speak to the manager. I...

The place was filthy. The tables were cleared of glasses & plates but had not been cleaned. Someone asked for a table to be cleaned which they did do but they walked past others that needed cleaning and ignored them. The menus were sticky. The...

Clean, outside seating available with a good atmosphere serving what you'd expect from a typical Weatherspoons. Free car parks surrounds the pub but can get very busy on sunny days. If you like the Weatherspoons concept I'd definitely recommend.

Went to pillar of rock in Bolsover (Wetherspoons). saturday am during my bike ride. Went for coffee and a snack. Ordered egg sandwich. It nearly took one hr short of 5 mins to get it. I had 3 coffees before the sandwich came. The service...

Very busy Saturday, had to wait over an hour for food. The staff we're clearly rushed but we didn't mind waiting. Problems came when the food arrived, my partner questioned the size of the pizza our teen had been given, the waitress argued we'd paid...

Appalling service. Mother's Day breakfast. NOT BUSY saw our meal sat on the warming table for over 10 mins. Staff far too busy chatting at the service desk to serve!! When meal was finally brought to us it was cold...what a surprise.......I took meals back...

Tasty food that was served to our table within 10 minutes. Friendly cheerful staff & clean table & cutlery. I thought the traditional breakfast was value for money. We had extra bacon & left off the hash browns. Extra toast was covered in butter &...

Not a very nice place to go. Rude management and upset children. Staff don't seem to know what customer service is. Very aggressive manager and just seem to want regulars in drinking. Family avoid at all costs

I came in for a quick bite to eat inbetween visiting Bolsover Castle and returning for a Ghost Walk. It is right on the door step to the castle so It's a decent place to stop off for a cheap pint and meal before or...

Been tonight, ordered mixed grill. All four pieces of meat were burnt but turned over so I wouldn’t notice. Took food back was replaced, but by that time everyone else had eaten. No salt in the building apparently! You get no apology from management what...

Went today the 4/112921 for a family meal,the food was terrible, I've seen better meals on rate my plate on Facebook, you complain about your food and they bring you the same rubbish again,the management are clueless, it make you wonder how they are still...

Please don't go here. 50 minutes wait for a burnt mixed grill..manager doesn't give a toss. First and last time I go there. Never again

We traveled a 28 mile round trip today (Friday, 29 October) to have a fish and chip lunch at the Pillar of Rock. We got there early 12,15pm picked our table, and I went to place our order. I was beyond shocked to be told...

It was quite busy but didn't have to wait long. We ordered mix grill and 8oz steak with the trimmings. The mix grill was a little over cooked, but OK. The steak was cooked to my liking but the sauce I chose was quite small....

Visited weatherspoons in bolsover today ,no mixed grill ,pizza or scampi ,fully understand with the times at the moment ,so my mum ordered 8oz medium sirloin steak ,choice of chips or jacket ..this is how it came ,what a presentation ,no salad ..I would be...

Lovely venue, building very modern and with the times, car park very congested due to passing tourism however didn't stop us from stopping by. Managers special was a steak, when I asked how big it was I was answered with an unhelpful hand gesture and...

Sorry, the staff were lovely and very helpful but the food - whilst cheap - was dreadful. Whatever you do, avoid the curry, there is no meat in it and no taste either. No flavour, no spice, just bland.

Went yesterday party of 3. Table was dirty and sticky so then cleaned it again, still sticky.Wanted a veggy meal for sister so ordered a 5 bean chilli with a jacket, there wasn't 5 beans in the whole portion it was so small the hardly...

This branch is dogged by supply problems-either there's some issue with their stock control or they need to simply order more. We tend to meet up every week, there hasn't been battered fish on the menu for at least three weeks worth of visits. They've...

Food wasn’t cooked and they didn’t do anything about it when told. They brought out the wrong things many of times as well. Not impressed at all

Sign said they were serving until 8pm but the kitchen closed at 7:15. If you’re going to close your kitchen early, you should give more warning. Not impressed.

Regular visitors. Breakfast was still frozen. Raised issue with lad who appeared to be in charge. No apology, no cares, just picked up the frozen items and walked off. Staff seems too interested in chasing the new squealing waitress round the restaurant while giggling. Not...

Easily seated at 12:15pm for a Saturday lunch. Seating is only available outside due to current covid restrictions. Smaller menu that normal but plenty of choice, plus quite a few vegetarian options. Service was 10/10. Food was hot and tasty. I should have remembered to...

Popped in for late lunch, wasn't too hungry so shared the offer '3 plates for £7.50' and wasn't disappointed. A pizza, 5 pieces of Southern fried chicken and bacon & cheese topped fries. Covid measures in place, meet and greet and options given on how...

We visited at 6.10pm on Saturday evening and it was surprisingly not very busy. We had a choice of tables inside and outside. I really like the protective screens between tables. The automatic hand sanitizers needs upgrading as it is potent but the manual hand...

Came here during the eat out to help out scheme, so for a start it was amazing value. The food was beautiful, had three small plates for £7.50, and the mini desserts for 99p. The staff were very pleasant and the service was great. Would come here again.

A family breakfast was ruined by poor service , even poorer management. We all know that bank holidays can be busy at the best of times... but having to wait nearly 80 minutes for a breakfast that arrived stone cold was beyond the pail. When I tried to complain to the duty manager he just nonchalantly said that there was nothing he could do and proceeded to chat casually to his bar staff without even trying to apologise. Wetherspoons usually offer a great service however this particular wetherspoons really let the side down !!

Me and my friends went to the pillar of rock yesterday. One friend wanted a chicken tikka with chips instead of rice, so went to the bar to order. The food came an hour later without popadoms and naan bread and also with rice! This is not was she ordered. We questions this and the manager came over and told us we would have to pay for all the extras as it’s ‘our fault’?! We paid for the extras to just keep peace, the extras took ages to come at this point the tikka had gone cold. Instead my friend was offered a small chicken strip meal ,worth less than the tikka, when this arrived it was served to her a disgusting, sarcastic attitude and a ‘doggy bag’ to put the scraps in, she said “don’t throw it away this time” this overall experience was horrible it made us all feel really uncomfortable. The was she spoke to us was belittling and rude! We understood that is was busy and mistakes can happen but there was no need for us to be spoken to in such a way.

I ordered a meal, waited an hour for it to come out wrong, They then made me pay for some bits of the meal again to still not bring it me out! Waiter told me it was my fault then wouldn’t refund me, wouldn’t listen and had awful customer service ! If I was a middle aged woman or a family I wouldn’t be spoke to or dealt with the way I was! By the time I got food which wasn’t the curry I ordered , I got chips and chicken! I was very polite and patient but didn’t get the same back! I also only got the small strips meal.

Ordered some steaks. There are far better steaks than what I've eaten. Safety-wise, the restaurant adheres to social distancing guidelines. So thumbs up with that. Utilized Wetherspoon app for taking of orders and payment, which was a brilliant idea to limit frequent interaction between customers and staff, in the era of new normality. A glass screen is placed between tables as a droplet precaution.

I’m all for having to train new staff how to cook the meals but they could at least check the meals are up to scratch before they are sent out. Starter was sent out same time as the mains. pulled chicken, bacon and avocado salad with balsamic vinaigrette was missing the pulled chicken and no way was that the correct dressing that came with it. Poppadum’s that came with curry were in no way edible and just looked like they had been left in a vat of oil for a very long time. Such a shame as I’ve eaten here before and loved it.

The kids all had fish and chips. They said they were the best they’ve ever had The portions sizes were plenty big enough Great value for money

We really enjoyed the curry night. We went large and got an onion bhaji and vegetable samosa as extras. Shame though that only one option was vegetarian. Loved that fact that you get unlimited mango chutney as it's a staple on the table with other sauces

not that great wouldnt return food hard not presented well asked to have something else had to wait not good

Food and Drinks as per Weatherspoons was excellent value for money. However it feels lacking in character - very bland. Would I visit again? If I visit this neck of the woods - yes But I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Gone for breakfast with the girls this morning, what a mistake. My toast was black, eggs rock hard, food was cold. As i was pinned in by the 9am drinkers and we didn’t get a check back so i was unable to complain but when the mature waitress came to clear the table i did inform her and got a couldn’t care less attitude. The only way i could get out to leave was by climbing over the table due to the 9am boozers. Seriously sort it out. A lovely pub in the evening but bad in the morning.

Quick cheap and tasty. Two people for less than £20. All made easy by ordering on the app. Standard Wetherspoons.

Called in for a catch up with an ex-colleague. Didn't eat but had copious amounts of a real dark ale. Very satisfying to the palate. Had 6 pints and it cost me less than £15. That's mega value.

Me and my partner came to Wetherspoons last night we order a triple chicken feast with some extra hot wings and a tuna and cheese melt panini which wasn’t even melted. We instantly felt ill immediately chips tasted like they was cooked a week ago, chicken was uncooked and the sauce with the hot wings tasted gone off! (Smelt it to). We had to leave as my partner began to feel very unwell. After leaving he was constantly being sick straight away bringing it all back up. This nearly resulted in a trip to the hospital with a worse case of food poisoning! We have tried contacting the manager over the phone and said we would like to complain and then they hung up and ignored the phone several times! Will definitely not be returning.

Called in for breakfast, staff friendly ,good friends meeting place, it was cooked fresh and excellent value for money, good choice on menu.

Loads to choose from. Cosy seating. Vegan pizza with added pineapple and bbq sauce was very good. Instead of using vegan cheese, they use no cheese at all, so it's much healthier

This place is my saviour when I'm in the area, the smashed avocado muffin from the breakfast menu is a real treat and the place has numerous nice little areas to sit where I can work uninterrupted on my laptop.

We visit every week, the Sirloin steak on Tuesdays is at a special reduced price, great value. The staff are excellent, great atmosphere the hub to meet locals, for a catch-up.

Very good atmosphere, service and excellent toilet facilities in a good lunchtime location. Meals generally very good but my steak only just acceptable.

As with most chain pub/eateries this was a very popular place to dine.there was a great choice of food on offer.which arrived punctual & piping hot.the staff were very friendly and helpful.both food & drink very reasonably priced.the night was made even better as was with family. only thing id say is if you want a la carte then this place isn't for you.it is also a good place for people with limited mobility or wheelchair or with pushchair etc.even better if you download weatherspoons app you can order & pay for everything without leaving table.only problem we had was the toilets are upstairs. & need radar key for disabled toilet.although I'm sure if we asked at bar they'd give you a key

We called at The pillar of Rock with our Granddaughter Isabelle and her friend Molly on Monday 28th October for an early Tea. The girls ordered Burgers, my wife ordered Sausage and mash and I ordered Barbercue Chicken, the meals came within 15 mins, no it's not al a carte, but the Food was hot, looked good on the plate, with no complaints from any of us. Didn't have any problems with the waiters or bar staff. One thing you find at all Tim Martin's Pubs / resteraunts, "a good pint of John Smith's", this was no different.

My wife and I were visiting the area, and popped in to the pillar of rock for an early evening meal. Loverly place, service was excellent and the food was great, good portions, great value for money, highly recommended.

We had lunch here before visiting the nearby castle and came away satisfied, but not amazed. The menu is typical pub food and the prices reasonable. Its best selling point is the proximity to the Bolsover Castle.

The pizza here was very good on our most recent visit. We had a spicy meat feast and a vegetable pizza. The vegetarian pizza was delicious and I asked for no mushrooms, which they remembered to exclude. Our young daughter had scampi with peas and cucumber and tomato sticks. The lady behind the bar wasn't familiar with the kids menu, so there was a bit of misunderstanding and mix up but she got there in the end. Nice option to have cherry Pepsi max on offer.

After an afternoon looking at bolsover castle we were hungry and thirsty and were looking forward to having some lunch. This pub does not allow dogs inside that we understand but they are not allowed in the beer garden either. Hubby was just about to order when we noticed the signs. It’s a shame as you will lose customers and revenue because people don’t like to leave their dogs in a car especially on a sunny day. So another pub got our custom and money

Must be the best Wetherspoons I've visited so far; although we didn't eat during our visit we were near the open kitchen and could see the food service - excellent and efficient service and all the dishes looked very good indeed; Bar and Service staff were efficient and friendly; the interior is lovely and the location is wonderful; as with most Wetherspoons a trip to the Ladies loos is an adventure in itself - but these took my breath away - I won't spoil it for anyone else but don't visit this pub without going to the Ladies toilets - assuming you're female hahahaha

Decent food, sufficient but not huge portion size, good value.

My family and I visited this venue for a meal, my teenage daughter asked for a non alcoholic drink which I obliged and ordered at the bar and she accompanied me to the bar when we were served the bar man asked if I would like a glass, I asked my daughter in front of him if she would like one she replied no so she took the drink and sat down. Over an hour later the temporary manager came over and rudely said she ca t drink that it’s against the law and walked off. We continued our meal and around 30 minutes later she returned and said your all barred from here after this meal don’t return. Now firstly we were not aware of this policy, they clearly served me and was aware it was for my daughter and rudely told us that it’s not allowed and we are barred from their mistake. I have however contacted Wetherspoons and they are not interested in families being able to use the venue only people who wish to drink all day every day. Absolutely disgusting customer service and poor training given to the staff.

Visited at 8:20 to be told children aren’t allowed in after 9...

Went last Sunday was looking forward to a drink with the grandkids on the front in the sun but couldn’t get due to all the bicycles leant against all the tables

Bolsover was a bit disappointing for "Ye Olde Pubs". However this Wetherspoons was well appointed. The ladies room upstairs in a suite of rooms with tables and chairs! The food was the usual reliable standard. You can sit outside. It was interesting to note the "local old boys" were drinking here rather than in the rustic locals in the town centre.

Had a mid week breakfast at 9.30am. The small vegetarian breakfast with extra tomato half's was just right, washed down with 2 cups of decaf tea. Speedy delivery of food. Very tasty despite the vegetarian sausage being very hard to cut at the ends. Staff were pleasant.

What a great pub...loads of space inside and out. Staff really friendly. The view from the ladies window...WOW. The food was lovely and highly recommend as a night out

It’s an upmarket Wetherspoon’s, the weather was lovely so we sat outside, it adjacent to the car park but is fine, the food is excellent value for money

This modern Wetherspoons isn't the most attractive of their pubs I've been in but I had a couple of meals here and found it quite a reasonable place to eat. There was nothing really special about it and based on my visits it would justify somewhere between a '3' and a '4' rating. However the food was OK, the prices reasonable and I had no complaints so let's give it a '4' as it's probably the best choice in Bolsover.

Been to this ‘Spoons a few times. Called this morning for breakfast. Lovely light and airy pub with the feel of a local and nice to see families welcome with young children. Welcoming and happy smiling staff serving the drinks and food. Eggs benedict twice was the order of the day and very appetising it was too, on its prompt arrival at the table. Value for money 10/10 Well done “The Pillar”

Now I'm a huge weather spoons fan. I admire Tim Martin and love what he stands for and being coeliac I know I'm in safe hands when I eat there. I travel around the country alot and always eat at weather spoons I live in bolsover so do go there 3-5 times a year and have previously gave it a 5 star review on Google. But sadly today was a very bad experience and poor effort but the staff!

Went on the Tuesday steak night which included s drink, in fact all meals included a drink as well, so great value for four, cost under £50 including an extra bottle of Prosecco,wide choice of food and drink and real ales, lovely ambience and location would definitely return.

The food is good. It’s not always great but you get what you pay for. The staff are friendly and helpful.

You’d think a pub near Bolsover Castle would welcome dogs especially as the area is popular with dog walkers. This is just a Weatherspoons, nothing at all special
