The Prense Well - JD Wetherspoon in Wirral

Love this place hidden gem in heswall.

Same as any other spoons you get what you pay for

Best Weatherspoons pub I know, well fitted out, pleasant staff. Yes, the toilets are upstairs but its weatherspoons what do you expect! Update October 24: Still a good pub, most recent visit for a cheap and cheerful evening meal, £47 for 3 x 2 course meals including drinks (1 soft, 1 lg wine and a craft ale) its an Ideal place for a family or group meal probably not great for impressing a date but as I'm way too old for all that malarkey it's not something I worry about.

I do like this. Very spacious & tidy. A great evening 👍

This is the Best whetherspoons we have ever been too. Excellent prices very clean. Friendly happy Staff x Highly recommended x Ruth

Food was a bit cold despite the fast service? Coffee cups had lipstick on. Shame. Cheap grub mind.

I had a very good Peerless ale for £1.99, and was i, and impressed with the great value ale. Nicely decorated, almost all tables clean, and a spacious beer garden.

Usual weatherspoons food.nice drinks.cosy surroundings.

Marvellous. The value always brings a smile to my face . Excellent value and service . Lovely food .

Prense Well is great, cheap, reasonable quality food served late. Service is friendly, decor lovely, outside seating available. Wetherspoons prices.... much cheaper than most pubs in Heswall.

It was my first visit here but must say this is probably the best weatherspoons I've been to on the wirral. This place is great. Feels a lot more up market due to it being so light and airy, with an open kitchen to the left side, which is great. It really is a lovely atmosphere. Great service with great prices. The terrace on the left side is really nice, too, particularly with the pagoda. The food was a very good standard. The only one issue I had was a pork steak on the mixed grill was quite dry. I'm sure it used to be a chicken breat. That being said, everything was fine, and this will most definitely be my weatherspoons of choice going forward.

Not normally a fan of JDW but this one has very nice decor with excellent service and food. I recommend the all day breakfast with a pint of your choice for less than £7!

Normally great location, usual food, great service and well run. Previous visit app messed up.. which is a wetherspoons problem not the place specifically.. (app said it didn't work, when it did) moved tables because it was excessively noisy. Restarted phone and tried again. When the food was going to the wrong table we tried cancelling the second order with bar staff. No help. Ended up with double food, double bill.

Lovely Weatherspoons. Great food and great service.

Breakfast good service quick busy lots of customers.

Busy for a Friday lunch time. Lovely food, helpful service. Only let down was the amount of empty glasses left around.

Very pleasant outdoor seating area.

Not your typical Weatherspoons, possibly because it's recently been refurbished. It's been done to a high standard, and the toilets are the best I've seen in any Weatherspoons in the UK. The food is what you'd expect for the price. The beer was good and really cheap. £1.99 a pint when we visited. It's larger than you would think from outside.

Great place to meet the locals, nice atmosphere..very slow service, As usual with any wetherspoons very understaffed..

Requested well cooked bacon breakfast arrived bacon under cooked and in bits when Requested it be redone told rudely it's a breakfast end of never visit again

Great food and drink. Excellent service Very clean and smart

Lovely pub and great layout never looks overly packed, nice friendly staff and again good choice of ales well priced, food is excellent

A very large establishment. Usual Spoons, great 👍 value and ambience. Will definitely be back soon. Update: return visit - Steak, chips and a large Pinot Grigio £12.69; an absolute bargain! Really busy when I popped in August 2024 on a Tuesday evening. Staff were overwhelmed by the Wetherspoons App orders bless em. Thank you 😊 for taking time to speak to me when I made my order at the bar.

Went on the day the A level results were released. Had Chicken Masala with rice, garlic naan bread and onion bhajis. Food was nice.

Great service at the right price

Nice, comfortable and spacious building

Typical weatherspoons, you know what you get at great value

Beautiful Pub, immaculately clean. Only had breakfast, and it was lovely. My pancakes with fruit were spot on and my husband's full English was plentiful and well cooked. Will come again.

Very nice, enjoyed breakfast very good value for money

A good friendly place, perfect for drinks or if you are feeling hungry, check the menu, wide choice for all tastes.

Great pub, good choice of cask ales and excellent prices.

Good breakfast lovely coffee ☕ and unbelievable value for money

Good value pub and has benefited from a recent makeover

Some food undercooked and some overcooked, garlic bread undercooked,eggs were over cooked, that set the tone for the rest of the meal. As there was no starter menu , we ordered side dishes as starters, these came with the main meal. No condiments were offered. Floor under the table still had a few remnants of a previous diner. The place itself is nice and well decorated, the bar staff were efficient, but the dining side left a lot to be desired, had better cooked food from an old greasy spoon caravan on the A55.

Went the other night for curry night and when I paid the bill came to more than the price on the menu. I checked this with the staff only to be told that the specials menu was outdated (2023) and therefore charged a completely different price, I believe the staff should have honoured the price on the menu but just completely ignored me. We as a family have been many times for food and drinks but I feel we cannot eat there anymore very disappointed Mr Martin you need to sort your restaurants out.

Large breakfast is absolutely fab and such good value for money, with as much tea and coffee as you like. 7.60. Very spacious, clean and super friendly service

Really nice pub that’s well designed and decorated. Staff are friendly and there are a good selection of beers on offer. Was a bit tricky to get served at one point, but that’s the only downside of our visit.

A nice Spoons with a pleasant beer garden. Their own beer Prense Well Ale, is in fact Langton Spin from Peerless. Nice.

Lovely interior but it’s the only Wetherspoons i have been to where they don’t give you sauce and bit and bobs like that with your food and never checked if everything was ok like other Wetherspoons do. Male staff member just didn’t seem to care about the customer to be honest. Was clean and tidy which was nice 👍🏼

Great place for eating and/or drinking. Best price on the Wirral for a pint of San Miguel. Until you turn up on a hot sunny Sunday - and they've run out. . . Need to find a back up venue !!

A very decent Wetherspoons pub. Modern, light and clean. Food was good, and great value and service was excellent. Would come back again.

First time I’ve visited the Prense Well, Heswall… I’d ordered a 1/2 pint of lager & a pint of Doom Bar… got given my Doom Bar & a PINT of lager, when I mentioned to the bar person it was wrong, she said that’s what I’d ordered!! After I said I would never of ordered a pint for my partner, and I actually know I’d ordered a 1/2 pint, she replied with… “thats what I’d ordered, and that’s what you’ve got”!! No apology, or any other reasonable banter to resolve the situation…. Basically, take it or leave it attitude😱 this may seem a bit petty, but what ever happened to customer service and general politeness🙄 Anyway took my service to the Jug & Bottle… totally different service😅 won’t be going back anytime soon🤬

Very nice Spoons, comfy and central for local shops and easy access to parking.

Met with friends for the curry night. Cheap and cheerful. No issues at all. Doom bar beer £1.49 a pint. What's not to like. Clean and nice atmosphere. No issues at all.

A relatively new Spoons with super, efficient, friendly staff. Good to see they have a locally brewed house ale - The Prense Well Blonde Ale was top notch👍🏻

Visit this Weatherspoon often when visiting my daughter always good, very relaxed

Well frequented and doing well. Popular place.

Food just sitting on the hotplate,served on cold plates waiting for service.

Only had a few drinks in here , so can't comment on the food , but really nice clean pub

Disappointed felt more like a cafe than a pub

Lovely decor, very clean very very nice interior with the beer garden all around good experience staff were nice

A very quiet Sunday night but service quick and bar staff friendly. Steak and salad were good and the house pinot grigio was excellent.

The best value pub on the wirral

We were visiting the area and just wanted good hot pub food. What a find this was. We were staying at the Premier Inn but to be honest the pub next door looked dire so we walked the 15mins into town after checking out the reviews. The pub itself is so big but you still get that homely feel. The staff were friendly and all our food arrived piping hot on hot plates and tasted just great. I had steak pudding which was a throw back to when I lived up north. It was brill and came with chips and mushy peas. My wife had crispy chicken burger which she said was just as good as she hoped it to be. We both had a couple of drinks and I finished with a double vodka and coke. It all came in at just over £30 . Well done spoons for a really good experience. We will definitely be back in the summer as there is a super outdoor area too. Smashed it!!

Very clean and very helpful staff

As weatherspoons go, this heswall branch is really bright. Enough space for large gatherings and an playful outside searibg area for sunny days. Food is typical wratherspoons. Beat price around. The coffee machines where playing up at times.

Very good selection of food and really clean.

Had a few drinks before going to Heswall Hall, lovely staff and great atmosphere

Very good.. The best one we have visited on wirral. Very funny to sit looking at coffee at machines being serviced. They are always breaking down. Food and service excellent.

Would be nice to use local ales from Brimstage and Westwood alongside Peerless to improve variety. Otherwise an enjoyable place to visit

Well kept real ales However would prefer a more variety of brewers rather than peerless

Bustling brekkie! Food hit and miss. Avoid meat and you'll be ok.

Ru out of bacon and eggs, nobody came to explain to us what was happening, an absolute disaster

It was a Wednesday - quiet, no kids, good service it only 18months old so still clean tidy & your feet don't stick to the carpet, another good thing is it's nice & bright.🙂

Very clean and modern. Competitive prices as usual.

Called in for coffee. Pay for one. No limit to refills. Very good .

We had a cheese burger, however it could of been a bit hotter from the restaurant. Beer was really nice though.

Clean, bright, good food, good value. Good service.

Food cold and tasteless. Not fresh

Lovely and bright dining area. Ordered via the app and the service was prompt and friendly. We both had burgers and they were delicious.

Good place to meet up with friends but food not very good

Not dog friendly whatsoever so didn’t get past the entrance. Took our business to nearby pub that welcomed us and our little pooch.

It's one of the nicest weatherspoons I've been in. A lot of room, even when packed, is very clean, and only one I've found that sells my favourite rum 🤘. Staff are very welcoming

Nice food,very pleasant staff, very quiet so no real atmosphere. Went to a different area of the pub which had a log burning 🔥 fire...I really love the fabrics that the designers have used on the chair backs...

It’s spoons, bit slow service as fairly busy most of the time, all day breakfast is fairly good, nice for price very cheap comes with free hot drink or bit extra for alcoholic drink (cheaper than on own), burgers not good thou, curry ok but need the extras.. Mostly full of old people no offence intended.

Thought the manager was a bit unprofessional queried the size and price was not happy very disappointed and meal was vile couldn't eat meal was vile and presentation was like a babies meal

Just your typical wetherspoons. Cheap ale, cheap ok food. Friendly chatty staff. Table service using the app etc. Can't go wrong really. 👍👌

Not keen on the barmaid here...very rude..far too long waiting to be served...then completely ignored me..went to serve the men at the bar...won't go again

Nice clean pub! The food is of good quality and very reasonable priced!! Unlimited refills on freshly ground coffee!! Well worth a visit!!

Best witherspoons I have been to, very nice setting, cheap and cheerful, though some of the food can be quite expensive Staff very polite

Nice pub in affluent Heswall !! bumped into Stan Boardman on a recent visit ! He never age's lol

Newest wetherspoon on the Wirral , clean , dedicated staff, great selection of wines ,beers & spirits.

Great place, exactly what you expect from the chain Wetherspoons. Loads of seating and easy ordering by the app

Typical wetherspoons. Food is good. Service is good. Prices are exceptionally cheap.

Food was really good. Drinks very cheap. Definitely recommend x

I visit here quite regularly, great atmosphere inside and always had our breakfasts and dinners fast hot and correct. Had 1 or 2 tiny issues but that’s to be expected as staff are always very busy but I cannot fault the place.

Madras curry was disgusting meat tasted like reconstituted meat inedable

Ordered a breakfast from here and the moment I sat down it was on the table so it had obviously been sitting pre made in the kitchen, most of the items were cold. A very poor breakfast and not worth the money.

Lovely clean premises, friendly staff , quick service

The pub is well kept, clean and tidy with lots of tables so you should always find somewhere to sit, no car park at the pub but you can park around the corner in the public car park, a large Tesco supermarket is just 5 minutes walk and you can park for free for 3 hours. A nice selection of beers and the menu is good unfortunately they had sold out of Fish and Chips (😕 unbelievable for a Spoons). My impression was it was understaffed as the staff appeared rushed off their feet, could easily be 5* pub.

I have been here twice before very clean warm and friendly pub, food excellent, recommended by my Brother.

A good wethies to come for a quick drink food atmosphere a five minute walk from heswall bus station were you can catch the 471 and 472 to Liverpool and the 22 to either Chester or West kirby

Food was lovely very nice decor staff were lovely

A very friendly and reasonable place to eat. Lovely decor.

Just love this place staff and food fantastic.

The coffee is always tepid and staff do not act when asked to resolve, merely replying temperature set . Food is often not hot and quality suspect. Shame because other positives compromised by these failings. Will be looking for new venue despite higher costs.

Visted yesterday for breakfast, poach egg was rock hard, hash browns cold, black pudding inedible, rock hard. Staff not interested. Have visited before and breakfast normally OK. Needless to say will not be going again.

Very nice very efficient and food hot

Lovely here the food is great too!! 3 small plates for £14 not bad at all! Great atmosphere nice and chilled And the service was nice too 👍

The food can be hit and miss here, on occasions it has been very good quality, good portion size etc other times its been terrible , cold or burnt , items missing, no condiments , The choice of drinks is very good and the table service when ordering on the app is also generally good ,
