The Red Well in Wellingborough

Iam as guilty as anyone when only posting reviews when things are below expections.Today 9May,which is a curry day i had Sri Lankan prawn and fish curry washed down with a pint of Abbot Rererve[other ales and non alcoholic drinks available ,the latter at a lowerprice. Meal came promptly on a warm plate,good portion of chunks of tasty fish and prawns which also had flavour.I have bought frozen/chilled fish/prawns at supermarkets which are so bland. Cost of meal and drinks £10.02,i defy you to beat this for price and most impotanty quality. The meal also came with naan bread and 2 plain pappadoms[thanks to Monika for explaining the menu.PS cill rating is 3/5

Excellent choice of ales great value for food and drinks

Normally pop in for a breakfast and coffee on a Saturday morning,food is value at the price and staff are friendly and welcoming would recommend.

Would like to acknowledge the manager Ben and staff on how they've made a massive difference to my recovery from difficult times. Always felt welcome, not treated any differently, and feels like a community with old school rules. Things became unbearable recently due to the death of my mother which resulted in me letting myself down aswell as the pub. Either way, it's been handled so professionally by all, which then makes myself not play the blame game or woe is me. Cannot thank you for the time afforded to me during my recovery from my diagnosis.

Very disappointing customer service.

I called this place from Canada, I'm a chef and had a fish and chips question, figured I'd go straight to the source. Jackie there was super helpful and polite. Haven't tried their food, but the service is great!

Cheap meal, staff OK, atmosphere there was none

I went there with my family for my dad's birthday. The place was rather quiet as it was on a school night. The food was okay, I don't recommend the American cheeseburger though, and the halloumi fries were the best. It was cheap, only like 20-30£ a person. And of course as it was a pub, the service was okay, not any better or worse than what you expect. I recommend it if you want to get some alright and cheap food with your mates.

Nice and cozy pub, with a nice decoration that creates a very cozy atmosphere, attentive and very friendly staff. It has a wide variety of beers and a small snack menu. We tried the wings and they were very good. Highly recommended place.

Great value beer and food. Excellent service.

Vegan breakfast is absolutely awesome. I've been ordering extra mushrooms, tomatoes, and hashbrowns as I don't think the breakfast comes with enough. But it's super tasty. The bar team were very friendly and helpful. So if you want a cheap, tasty vegan English breakfast, this is definitely a place that can offer you that.

Ah, The Red Well in Wellingborough, what a delightful establishment it is! As I sauntered through its welcoming doors, I couldn't help but feel an immediate sense of warmth envelop me. The ambiance, oh, it's quite something! The attention to detail in the decor is evident; the colours are chosen with such care that they invite you in, beckoning you to stay just a little while longer. And the lighting—soft, yet bright enough to keep the spirits merry—complements the interior so well, creating this cozy atmosphere that's just hard to leave. I remember it was a quiet evening when I first visited; the calm before the storm of the weekend rush, perhaps. But it worked in my favor, as I was greeted by the staff almost instantly. Being a Wetherspoon, I expected nothing less than a vast selection of drinks. And indeed, they did not disappoint. Ales, beers, spirits, wines—you name it, they had it. A diverse range that can cater to the connoisseurs and the casual drinkers alike. And let's not forget the restaurant area. Cleanliness and tidiness are obviously a priority here, which is always reassuring when you're about to indulge in a meal. You can tell that the staff doesn't just work here; they take pride in maintaining the space, ensuring that every patron feels comfortable and taken care of. Speaking of the staff, they were nothing short of friendly and efficient. Each member who attended to me was quick to offer recommendations, and their service was delivered with a genuine smile. It's this sort of efficiency, combined with a down-to-earth approach, that makes The Red Well a place you'd return to—not just for the drinks or the food, but for the experience. In sum, The Red Well is more than just a bar; it's a little haven in Wellingborough. Whether you're there for a quiet drink on an off-peak evening or joining the weekend crowd, you're in for a treat. Indeed, it's the kind of place you'd recommend to friends, or bring your family to on a Sunday afternoon. A true gem in the Wetherspoon crown, if you ask me.

Wellingborough Pub Crawl, Pub #4 (30-11-23) Our last Pub and a Weatherspoons Pub so you no what you get, 2 John Smiths and found a seat, orded burger and chips at a reasonable price but was like a kids meal, get what ypu pay for but the service was quick, the usual customers and noisy, people eating and the usual coffee drinkers as buy one and unlimited refills, an ok pint.

A great selection of real ale well kept and nicely served

The breakfast was ok. Bacon was basically put from all the leftovers to my plate!!! When asked about it the rude manager didn’t even apologise or offered anything in its place. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

Standard Wetherspoons, fairly busy, beer was decent, and literally can't go wrong with the chicken jalfrezi

Good food but shame The staff are ignorant, rude and not polite , I don't recommend it at all

Efficient service, know their business, while dealing with diverse clientele. Vert good staff, very , very good value, yet the meal was not expensive, because the the food and presentation was mutch better than their competitors. Well done. 13th May, steak and12 chips, great value, service good, staff on good form. A good place to eat with good value. Remember it is pub. 25th Aug. Had ham, egg and chips. Quick service, price has risen a little; what do you expect, good value, hot, with good atmosphere. Still highly recommended. Lucky beer drinkers, good value, good variety. Well done the staff.0

We stopped off here for a spot of lunch, good service, friendly atmosphere, good food. Well worth a visit.

Nice staff, food and drink is cheap

It's a Wetherspoons, so it's nothing special, but food is good enough, service is good enough and atmosphere is always good. If it's a cheap place for a meal and drinks you're after, I'd recommend it.

As usual a good breakfast 🙂🙂🙂⚓⚓⚓

Same old spoons, 10 chips, a record

Nice place to stay with coffee.

Waited quite a while for food and drinks ordered even though it didn't seem over busy for food orders then had to send the panini back as it was like a rock and the sausages were missing from the breakfast we'd ordered. Plate was red hot when it was given to me and burnt my thumb but NO apology given !!! Generally rubbish service on this occasion 😳

Seats have been renewed which is nice. More expensive for food

There Beef Madras is better than any Indian Restaurant

Honestly went to today for a quick drink we were walking by and thought would pop in we happened to stay for lunch fish and chips and scampi and chips was fantastic the fish was lovely and fresh lovely crispy hot chips and the scampi was fantastic as well can’t wait to go again if you’ve not tried it you definitely should

My burger was so burnt it had hole's in it and I was then told I made the holes with my folk. It also left me feeling very unwell. We also asked for some side roasted vegetables (was thinking carrots, Coliflower, broccoli ect) and got roasted peppers. The heinz ketchup is either watered down or its not heinz 🤢 which made it taste even worse.

Good pub , very nice staff, very busy because of the great prices 👍

No ice cream with dessert wouldn’t give icecream without paying for something that was included

Nice food, quiet pub, staff is helpful

Horrible service.. ordered poached egg apparently it looks like that..,🤣🤣🤣 there's a lot of cheap places to have a drink with better food and service.. unfortunately I don't have other picture of my friends meal which was horrible too.. don't even want to say about hygiene..

Could do with a good clean and a little tlc

Typical wetgerspoons nice for a cheap afternoon pint

Good food, great value and comfortable surroundings mean its a useful place to visit. There are fancier places to eat but this pub restaurant does the business!

Didn't have food , just a couple of pints excellent value and calm atmosphere highly recommended 👌

Gorgeous food here....."in this Spoons"! Atmosphere was lovely on a baking hot mid week lunchtime, aircon on and a gentle buzz of conversation....smothered chicken cooked to perfection, crispy chips and veg....just enough ice in our drinks to not fill the glass...service was quick, friendly and price was ideal.....more ideal....no cooking on a boiling hot evening!! Thank you 'Spoons 😊

Visited 2 times last week (Aug 23) on both occasions our meals were piping hot on very hot plates compliments to the chef

Food was good, everything else OK. Will use again.

A while since I've been in but the service and staff and food were a vast improvement hope you keep your new standards up

Tried to order food on Saturday at 6pm. No food available. Abysmal even by Wetherspoons standards.

Very nice Spoons, not perfect but good service, decent choice and hot food.

This pub has the highest sale of ales per sq ft in the county.But there seem to be an issue regarding the guest ales.Lodged a complaint on 21 July,got a reply quickly from customer services,and one from pub 10 min later. The reply said lines being cleaned(they have some spare lines) Accepting that went in 22hrs later same 2 ales on but the pumps (being cleaned !) were still out of use. Spoke to the shift manager,stated 4 guest ales on app ,reply was i will remove the 2 not on sale .(were on sale earlier in week and were gone) She stated we only have to have 2 guest ales on. Looked at the app later in day 4 ales on. ! Went in Sunday 4 on sale no problem. Dan the shift manager has built up the ale sales(quantoty and Quality) but if they are looking to push out those not wanting Abbbot/Ruddles/Doombar they are doing this well. Today 27 July walked through at 1030 and 1330 choice of 2 went home (same as yesterdays brief visit

I have never walked into a pub so filthy, there were dirty plates pretty much on every table. Absolutely shocked and horrified

Typical spoons. Went for breakfast a few times. Can't go wrong with a spoons breaky. Nice staff. Plenty of tables

Lovely service, friendly staff defo would go again 😃

Often use the pub. Have always enjoyed the food.

Consistent. I am from a small hard-core of Real Beer drinkers and I did get some excellent Real Beer. A tremendous bargain as always but The Redwell is not my favourite Wetherspoons

Roomy pub with lots of seating. Thought i would try the breakfast whilst my car was being serviced. I ordered the Big Breakfast with a black coffee. I got my coffee and condiments and shortly after the breakfast had arrived. So super quick service. Firstly after buttering my toast, i tried the eggs which were warm at best and only just done, the beans were warm. The Bacon was very stringy and fatty. The sausage were okay and again only warm and had a herby taste. To be honest the best thing really was the toast, which came with Lurpak butter. Overall disappointed. Nice pub, and some great offers on drinks and food, and the service is good. Just need to overhaul the breakfast, make a few changes. I would rather wait another ten minutes and get a hot breakfast.

Nice to know you are not being ripped off for the drinks.

I ordered grilled spicy chicken, but not at all spicy. I asked chilli sauce, and he said they don't serve, charged .80p for one chilli.

Great breakfasts and service...unbeatable prices.

Had a large mixed grill which was nice, hot! Wetherspoons #94 again! Situated on the main road not too far from the car park

Op advies hier gaan eten, helaas was onze ervaring iets minder met dit restaurant, het was erg druk wellicht dat dit van invloed was. Principe van eten/drinken bestellen aan de bar is prima , helaas waren er problemen met het pinnen waardoor het betalen vertraging opliep, ik had zelf een haloumi burger helaas was deze te hard gebakken waardoor de smaak verloren ging . Voor ons helaas niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

Good vibes at this weatherspoons but the food is not great. Every time I've been recently the plates have always been hotter than the actual food. It's become a joke between me and my friends when we go what part of our breakfast is going to be cold on the day

food not great, burger was dry. bit disappointed

Normal spoons what u expect. Always quite quiet

Sent back 1st attempt at poached egg on toast as the bacon wasn"t cooked and the eggs were cold. 2nd attempt came with overdone toast and incinerated bacon. Does this look like back bacon to you? At the 3rd attempt they got it right.

Lovely food usual spoons.. staff were very freindly ..

Cheap and fast service, classic Wetherspoon’s meal.

Worth a visit great place for real ale and the food was excellent.

Good service at a value price! Not disappointed at all.

A lovely meal today at a fair price

Good atmosphere and good prices

Friendly staff. Normal spoons food.

Busy Saturday lunch time, staff where polite, food came quickly and was hot/tasty. Toilets & tables clean. Would recommend to eat/drink here. Nice atmosphere over lunch.

Redwell weatherspoons Wellingborough , Value for money very pleasant staff , For the money you can't go wrong, Happy Customer

All ways a good meal very relax atmosphere

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and locals.

Food was better at this branch than others I been to

Good food, as always, never had a bad meal at this branch of Wetherspoons.

typical Wethers, cheap as chips so cant go wrong 👍

Our favourite place for Saturday breakfast with family

We go here a lot because we live locally and our children love the burgers and chicken bites. San miguel is good, prosecco always ice cold so we are happy to. Staff are always friendly and work very hard. Ladies toilets are always clean too, which you don't always find.

Clean and cheap, it's what you expect from a weatherspoons

Lovely pub, good food and almost giveaway prices on alcohol, have drunk there for over twenty years.

Don't order the pancakes they r just microwave ones and the maple is watered down but other than that is k

Foods was prompt and hot. Used the WiFi. Place was cosy on a cold day. Coffee refills are free- can have tea or hot chocolate too. Parked nearby. Will use more often as it will be close when I move. Can't loose with a spoon's.

Came in on a family visit. Food was the normal spoons food. But was really disappointed when the young girl brought our drinks and she had forgotten which one was the rum and coke to the vodka and coke. No apology and no offer to go make them again. Luckily my son in law guessed the right one. Just need to think about allergies, may sound silly but surely they would have had training on Natasha’s law?

Free car park just up the road. Visited lunchtime and it was busy. Ordered on the App and was served very quickly. All good.

Not the best looking pub ever but they do provide the world famous Spoonies Brekkie!

Staff welcome you well& friendly

Had a lovely family meal here. My only gripe being, there was no option for a vegan pudding, except for a mince pie

Food was delicious. Arrived very fast. I will definitely go there again.

Nice place, eat well and cheap. Friendly staff

Food was good, in fact it was excellent, the plate was hot, too hot for the waiter so he threw it on the table and walked off.....

it's beautiful and the girls who serve you are wonderful :))

Great food good price friendly staff excellent choice of beers and wine

Cheap and cheerful it's a wetherspoon pub... if its busy definitely use the app.. you'll get your drinks in about 60 seconds.

Great place for a decently priced meal out. Plus various vegetarian options. Fast service and great food.

Reasonable food at reasonable prices

sorry nothing positive to say! Mediocre food, place looks like it could do with a good deep stream clean. Hot plates but cold food. Sorry guys just complete rubbish

Standard spoon, nice pint of bud mind, if I could do 3.5 stars I would.

Cute services, delicious food, lager is expensive

It's a spoons, everything you'd expect. Some good beer at a good price and pub grub 😀

Worst cup of hot chocolate I have ever had from a spoons

Decent enough wetherspoon pub. Staff are v efficient and friendly. Drinks and menu are exactly what you'd expect from a 'spoons. (nice that there is free parking nearby too)

Typical Wetherspoons, good selection, cheap prices

Popped in for a bit of breakfast had a breakfast muffin and refill coffee for 2 was a fiver great value and friendly staff.
