For what you get for the price you cannot complain. Food, drink is what the price reflects and the staff are the best.

The egg and bacon was freezing when the breakfast was initially presented. The server picked the bacon with her hands from our plate advising she would get fresh bacon. We then found the hash browns were still frozen in the middle! When telling the same lady, we were treated with a loud sigh and was told she would get us new hash browns. We asked for a new breakfast instead as everything else would go cold over time. We ended up getting a refund instead and won’t be returning!

Always visit here when in York. After several visits I sadly have to say the service and staff have gone down hill. Staff looked so unhappy, miserable faces and no interaction. It won't deter me visiting again as maby there is more to todays visit? Cheer up guys!!

Always a good spot for a late night drink. We went for the 4 nights of our stay and for three of them at 22.00 it was quiet'ish and one night invaded (?) by a large group of students on a pub crawl (who changed the atmosphere until they left) - good to see ID checks on everyone. Would recommend as staff do work hard and were very efficient each night.

The Punchbowl is a nice cosy pub next to York walls and the bar. It's not as big as most Wetherspoons, but it has the same wide range of beers, lager and cider, including eight hand pulled cask conditioned real ales when we visited. The cask ales we sampled were in very good condition. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the service is very quick. It's a very popular pub and always busy due to the great value of the food and the cheap beer.

We did a night's stop over in York for a bit of a getaway. Booked in the premier Inn, which is always a pleasant night's kip, and realised that this spoon was opposite. We had our evening meal in h re and managed to find the only table available as it was packed being Friday evening. The service was excellent and staff very attentive to cleaning the tables and making sure everyone got their food and drinks in a timely manner. My partner has the pizza and I had one of the vegan options available. The food was very good and the evening went well. The next day we had our breakfast in here as their breakfasts are great value and a lot cheaper than the hotel. It was very good and with lashings of tea as well. It looked like a lot of hotel folk had their breakfasts here as it was packed with tourists. Great pub, great staff, great service.

I like a Wetherspoons pub - unpretentious, good pub food at a reasonable price, good selection of drinks and usually in lovely old buildings full of character. My first visit to the Punch Bowl which is very conveniently located a five minute walk from the train station. The food was as expected - I had the all day brunch. Sausage and bacon both very nice. Service was quick and staff were all pleasant and efficient. Pub a little gloomy but toilets nice and clean!

Went to order chicken but was told they didn't have any. Went back to my wife and told her to choose something else. Went to order fish n chips, 'sorry, no fish'. Maybe it would have been easier to ask what they did have. Went across the road and ate at a different pub.

I got served at the bar no problem, found a table, the menus were sticky and stuck together along with the table that had rings on from other people sitting there. We ordered food on the app - which was fine. I got ID when served my drink (which is understandable, the girl was just doing her job) meant I couldn't drink either of the pints that I had paid for. The lady offered me a free soft drink as a replacement. To be later denied the soft drink by clearly the manager on shift. It probably cost them less than 10p to offer this good customer service. So I then had to eat my food without a drink. While the rest of my time at this pub to be stared at and followed whether it be at my table, going to the toilet or in the little untidy beer garden. It made me feel uncomfortable. Overall I wouldn't recommend if you want Luke warm food and the atmosphere to be unsettling.

Absolutely no vegan or vegetarian breakfast, brunch and limited other options available. We visited at 10:30am so, was there a massive stampede of vegans and vegetarians that morning? Probably not.... For a city like York, only having two Wetherspoons in the centre was a big surprise. We should have gone to the other one.

This is a Wetherspoons a short walk from York train station. I dropped in for breakfast as i was staying nearby. As pluses the place was clean and staff friendly. Sadly my breakfast was distinctly average, the hash browns were dry and rubbery, the bacon a tad underdone, a tiny dollop of not overly hot beans and the toast came out without butter.

Really nice food. It was so npisey though, probably picked wrong weekend due to the York Horse racing. Food always great. Tables not cleaned so actually did this ourselves.

Niente male, posto mediamente affollato con diversi ambienti e anche un cortiletto esterno. Meglio la parte con il pavimento in legno di quella con la moquette. Ho preso un piatto unico niente male per la media britannica, fagioli in scatola e salsicce discrete (non paragonabili a quelle calabresi o siciliane, sono proprio un altro prodotto). La birra che ho preso, una mezza pinta bionda, l'avrei preferita più fredda. Servizio cortese e abbastanza rapido, prezzi nella media.

I came in on the morning that an IT glitch affected the Wetherspoons app. The two staff stood at one end of the bar just talking, and I waited some minutes until they noticed me standing at the bar, so I felt I didn’t have their full attention- no apology either, a “sorry to have kept you waiting” would have been nice, hence the three stars for service. Food was quick to come out. Restaurant and bar was clean, as well as toilet facilities.

What a dump! On visiting whilst around half the tables were empty the remaining 50% of tables had empty glasses on them, non of which were cleared on our visit in 30 mins. The floor was so bad it 'bounced' whenever someone walked passed. This chain came off social media some time ago as it didn't like the criticism it received, which is certainly valid.

Hi. I love eating at Wetherspoons. However, this location served food that was beyond cheap in quality and not the standard that I am used to at any of the Wetherspoon's locations. My husband and I had a burger with poor quality burgers and the cheapest baps. Our sons had pizzas which had looked like the dough hadn't risen. They did not like their pizzas. They've had pizzas before in other locations and enjoyed eating it. Our server was a young girl who was rude. I had to ask for the pile of glasses from the previous customers to be removed. She had served our drinks and was going to try to give us our meals amongst the dirty glasses. We will not return and will warn others about this location.

We went today for a wedding anniversary breakfast to start the day and the service was shocking. The waitress was rude, I asked for a straw (after she nearly poured the drink into my partners meal) and was told ‘they’re at the bar, I could get one myself’ - the portions were small and as we ordered on the app there was no vegetarian option, so had to modify a normal breakfast bringing the total to nearly £30, for two breakfasts and a round of drinks?? We had to ask for our toast, and the bacon was not cooked properly! It was empty and it’s clear to see why. Very disappointed and won’t be returning.

Came here for something quick to eat and yes it's a Spoons so you get what you pay for but still... I ordered a cheeseburger so not complicated but it tasted horrendous, some kind of old oily flavour and I couldn't eat more than a bite. To their huge credit a staff member noticed I'd put it to one side and immediately offered to refund my meal - the staff here are a credit to the place, especially the North American barman, but the food is inedible.

I was very puzzled by the food I was served this past weekend. When told that the prawns starter was not available, I opted for the hoisin mushroom skewer. This was explained as 'just mushrooms on a stick' by the waitress. We explained we were in a bit of a rush. So we were going to have just 1 course. It took 45 minutes to arrive. And it was not mushrooms. It took me a while to work out what it was, but I decided it was shredded duck, shaped in lumps, put on a skewer and drizzled with hoisin sauce. Once I got the idea of what I was eating, it was actually quite nice. Wouldn't have been though for a vegetarian thinking they'd ordered mushrooms 😉 and the skin on chips and the skewers were like warm, rather than hot. Disappointing. I'd post a photo, but can't see an option to do this.

We came here for lunch, and it was very pleasant. It is waiter/ waitress service, and it has a nice atmosphere. You can get a cooked lunch, with most tastes catered for,and which is probably better value than the sandwiches, which are very nice and well presented. The service is very professional and the staff are friendly. Recommended.
