The Six Chimneys in Wakefield

Heartfelt fabulous on a Sunday lunchtime, tho maybe Spoons on a Saturday night would be something else? Lol. Abbott ale at £1.79. Are you kidding me?

Called in on Sunday afternoon for lunch and unfortunately couldn't find anywhere to sit due to heaps of used plates etc strewn across the tables. Finally got seated on a table half of which was clear and ordered food on the app. No one cleared the empty glasses or plates from beside us, even when they brought out our food. The food was poor.

A nice renovation job, making this a very big pub. We had food and for the price it was great. The staff were very friendly but busy.

Excellent service and great choice of beers. The outside area is great in the warm weather and inside is much more inviting following the refurbishment

Beers can be great but at 6 chimneys bar staff has gone right down. Fed up.of being served by kids who can't pull a pint, never know who is next to serve and are ignorant and slow.

Good value all round in a lovely refurbished space. Great for breakfast, a main meal or just a good value coffee.

Friendly staff, fast service and so sorry to offend some , but amazing smoke area, its under cover so we can actually enjoy a pint in the rain, makes a change to have a descent smoke area.

Food was excellent,fast, and mixed grill with chips were astounding,this place years ago was known for microwave meals and cheap pints, since renovation it's more than just place for lads to meet but somewhere id consider taking a gf! Fanastic food, surprisingly impressed,the chefs make way higher grade food than weatherspoons do.

Great pub great beer prices £1 99 a pint. Especially The Hole 9 Yards.

All the food looked fine although I didn't eat there today. Just had a drink and met up with . Lovely weather today so sat in beer garden which was very nice indeed

Friendly staff and good range of food for a decent price. It was a busy saturday with not many seats spare but we still got served in a reasonable time.

Before the recent (£3million) refurbishment, this Wetherspoons was one of the worst I'd ever been to - it was dimly lit, had 'tired' furnishings, was somewhat dirty, had awful toilets, etc. Generally, it was uninviting. However, since re-opening this February, it's changed dramatically. Admittedly, it needed to, urgently, but I think the money's been well spent. Now, it's much larger (at least twice the size), with a much more pleasant (and again, larger) outside area, it's all new, clean and is well managed and organised by staff who are efficient, courteous and polite. The range of beer's typically excellent, the food's great (for the price, anyway - people can't expect too much when it's ready in only 10 minutes!) and overall it's a great pub, which I'd highly recommend. My only two complaints are 1. the lack of downstairs toilets (except a single disabled one, which is inadequate) and 2. the occasional 'rough' character(s) (but it's cheap (like all Wetherspoon pubs) in a rather grotty part of Wakefield centre (Kirkgate, although there are current plans to upgrade this area - again, MUCH needed!), therefore it's almost to be expected, but doesn't detract much from the otherwise good atmosphere).

Refurbished to a high standard quick service brill

Lovely spoons after a its re-furb...friendly staff a quick service well worth a visit. Had a nice breakfast here.

Great place a short walk from public transport great prices great food

A decent upgrade of the original Six Chimneys. Plenty of room. Clean toilets. Good menu. Great prices. Ramen bowl and pepsi for £6.99 - you can't fault it.

Absolutely shocking…….. it’s going down hill this place

It’s a large spoons in Wakefield Cheap beer and food Quick service Order on line

Lovely suntrap out the bsack, plenty of facilities for disabled access, and this could possibly be the cheapest spoons I know.

Thanks for the battered stickleback

Just popped in for lunch. Nice food. Ordered food at bar but was not waiting long.

Standard Spoons, Not exceptional, nor was it the worst

Nice pub, and food ok but nothing special.

The six chimneys is miles better since they upgraded it. Lovely bright atmosphere and plenty of room. The new part is brighter and not gloomy. My double American cheese burger bun was a bit on the dry side and spoilt the burger. But I'll be back again to give it another go.

Good improvement with all the alterations. Unfortunately they still don't let dogs in using the flimsy of excuses. They could easily allocate an area.

A rowdy place with lots of messy tables and a lack of staff to clear and clean them. Bar staff was abused by a drunken customer. He was hurling foul language at her. She acted as though it was a part of the norm. This was at lunchtime.

Never went no were to park only on the street

Excellent food and service! A great improvement and renovation

Very racist bar tender Refused to sell us alcohol because one of us was not having an id and they told us to leave when we are done eating our food. Very disgusted and disappointed. Not ever gonna step my feet again there.

Great Wetherspoons...drinks were very cheap...food really lovely...100% recommend

Breakfast wasn't as hot as it should of been if it was freshly cooked, felt more as if it had stood for abit, but other than that all good.

Typical Spoons clientele and staff. No more than average

Cheap and cheerful, great pizza, Ordered drink on app. Drink appeared just a I put my phone down🤣

Delicious food, great atmosphere :-)

Good place to visit for food and drinks in Wakefield.

There was no straws, I was outraged, kids was crying

All of parties food was cold. Staff replaced our food and brought us a free round of drinks. So left quite Happy.

Never left any type of review before I've been a Wetherspoon fan for decades and I still am, but the real ale and staff attitude today in Wakefield Wetherspoon's is very poor. The real ales are flat as a fart. Ales on show not all available. Staff can't pull a pint. They've just lost 3 meals and it'll be a long while before we visit Wakefield Wetherspoon's again. Others will get our frequent custom.

I recently just visited today, and two lovley female servers were being screamed at by a customer and I just think they handled the situation very very well, even offered the angry bloke a drink and he refused.

Recently renovated. More space to sit and better beer garden.

Cheap and cheerful, newly refurbished and extended. This has created a large dining area,which is much quieter than before. They also have a large outdoor area. Since the refurbishment they seem to struggle at times to offer a varied updated craft beer menu.

Great experience at the recently refurbed six chimneys. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Was made to feel really welcome. Fast service and great food. I will be back

The whole place is lovely after the refurb, kind staff and the manager Laura is extremely helpful and welcoming! Had a great time here, food was great value and a lovely atmosphere. Beer garden and pub nice and tidy throughout the visit, would definitely go again!

We were looking forward to visiting this newly refurbished venue. Food was really good. Piping hot and very reasonably priced. Coupled with the drink included option it was excellent value for money. What really let it down was that the smoking area was closed at 9.00pm so the only option is to smoke on the street where you can't take out your drink with you. Therefore you either have to run the risk of your drinks being spiked or removed if you leave them unattended or to leave your other half in the pub whilst you nip outside one at a time. Not good and not what we expected. Won't hurry back!

Food was cold, Didn't get what we Ordered then very rude when we pointed it out

The food was spot on. Came out fast. Was delicious. the barstaff however, left too much to be desired. I waited at the bar, and 3 people came after me and were served first. I asked if i was invisible and said i was here first. This apparentley offended them and they said its always the wakefield men. (Im not even from wakefield). I didnt swear. I said please and thankyou. If you want good food, go to spoons. If you want god barstaff, go elseshere.

Great fast service food came quickly and hot would deffo recommend to anybody wanted good quality drinks and food 👌

Lovely staff, Laura the pub manager is amazing and very helpful. Made me feel very welcome.

A very roomy and pleasant Spoons. Service was quick and efficient with staff friendly and helpful. There is a large outside area at the rear and a large amount of tables and chairs. Good choice of real ales and other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Good lunchtime atmosphere and well worth a visit. When it first re opened service was slow but a vast improvement since then.

You get exactly what you pay for and I'm a fan. Great value and perfectly edible food.

Since the refurbishment it's a lot bigger and better.

Really disappointed. Heard lots about this being huge but it really isn't. There's just one bar. Lots of tables but the place is nothing special.

It was very good and the food is great every I go in xx

Absolutely fabulous place brilliant food service a let down 24 steps to upstairs toilet. Only one in validity toilet down stairs. Yes wheel chair friendly worth several visits good quality cheap ales etc . My only concern is no normal toilet down stairs otherwise absolutely brilliant place.bar staff excellent Charlie was very helpful and professional.

Nicest Wetherspoon's I have been in. Very clean and in an art deco buiding

The pub has recently been refurbished and expanded the staff were incredibly friendly helpful and efficient. I had the nicest sirloin steak , chips and Chilean merlot at the cheapest price food and drink were delicious definitely reccomend

Ordered the Abbots Ale and drank it, tasted good, pipes been well cleaned and in good quality. Wayhayy.

Went this Tuesday Afternoon and was hoping to find the disabled toilets and asked staff . Finn one of the chefs was a good samaritan and showed me the way to them and made sure I brought up any concerns with a manager . Very nice staff and very professional behaviour by them all .

the server Valts was so nice and helpful! He had straws on hard whenever we needed and was so ready to help with our orders!

Amazing place. Loved the new decor and the price of the drinks is so reasonable. Ate there too and the food was spot on. Will return, well managed venue!

This isn't value for money with food Portions are appalling ... Will not be bk

Come quite often with the family, great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Meals are top notch and drinks definitely top it off with their wide range. 10/10, will deffo will go again

Ordered the Abbots Ale and left it, tasted off, they obviously don't clean the pipes. Ergh.

Nice pub.. very busy.. carpets abit funky.. not the same clientele as before. One of your better spoons. Management decent aswell. Beer garden is quality.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Visited quite a few times since the revamp and every visit had been brilliant. Staff are lovely and chatty. Special mention to manager Laura, she has done a great job since the re opening! Much better place than it once was!

the coro na here is very y ummy

Can't beat a spoons brekky! Good atmosphere, amazing value for money and even better service!

Refurbished, and only a small bar . Still, great beer, at a wonderful price .

Well, first and foremost, it's a spoons 😜. That said, it's a lovely spacious one with great staff. And did I mention the new menu items? If you had told me last year that I'd be enjoying an excellent shawarma wrap and a good bowl of ramen In a spoons I wouldn't have believed you. But I really enjoyed them. Will come again

Positives -Atmosphere was lovely - Staff were attentive - Food arrived very quickly - very tasty. Negative - The smallest jacket potato I’ve ever been served by far 2” in diameter,which was very disappointing, please stop being so tight with your jackets!!!! We had three Large Mixed Grills with drinks, two with chips one with jacket potato - food had the lovely char grilled taste - presented well - tasted amazing

Bandit stole £25 from me. Dealt with a lovely lady (wetherspoons staff) regarding this issue. She saw the 'part' winnings paid. Machine turned off with 'error' tried turning it on and off multiple times didn't work. Went in the next day, bandit was on, but was told the engineer hasn't been out yet. Called again today (2 days after the issue) and was told the 'bandit guy's only saw a £1 winning. Yet it gave me £7 out of £32. I was told I'd have to contact the bandit companies customer service, which is fine. But I asked for this to be put in writing in an email, and they refused. In conclusion, the machine has stolen £25 from me and I can't get it back. I run a pub myself. I understand the 'blame games' but to refuse to put what they have verbally told me into writing so I can submit evidence to the company I need to contact is ridiculous. I will be returning to the pub tomorrow to hopefully resolve the issue. If the issue is resolved, I will happily take this review down and/or edit it.

Lost a bit of atmosphere now it's made bigger,food was nice so was beer prices Brill as always

Much better and spacious after a recent expansion and revamp.

It's a Wetherspoons. Friendly staff, I almost admired their care free nature under such stressful circumstances. Cheap beer made even better by the Wetherspoons app ( order through app and they bring it to your table without you having to move). Some of the customers in there leave little to be desired but hey that's why you're paying £2.50 a pint 👍

This was a fantastic pub for drinking, with a bright and well furbished area! The wooden sides are very neat, counter is well presented and staff were nice. I had a refreshing pint of cider, sitting comfortably at a smooth table!

Wakefield is going thru changes and needs places like the Six Chimneys.

Very disappointed visit/experience and was labled as a thief by the manager..... Group of 4 elderly ladies 66-86yr olds. Checked with bar staff the exact content of the meals ordered because of dietary requirements. I was reassured twice what was included in the meals that I wanted to order. I paid in FULL for the ordered meals x 4 covers. When served 1 of the meals x3 items was missing. I was told they were not included in the meal as previously reassured by Graham that these items were included... I was requested to pay for them. The waiter returned some time later and left x2 servings of the missing items obviously the rest of the meal had gone cold by now. I was ordered to go to the bar, whilst I was eating my tepid food, to pay the outstanding balance. It was agreed by the waiter it was OK to pay once I had finished my meal. Like a dutiful customer I went to pay the balance. I was told by two bar staff, one being graham that it was OK and that the balance had been waivered!!!. I went back to the table, to be challenged again by the server to pay the balance. One of our party members used the disabled facilities. She came out upset.... their was urine all on the floor and no toilet paper. Her trouser bottoms where soaked. Once AGAIN I returned to the bar to pay the balance. I asked to see the manager. 8 minutes later, guess who the rude server (the Manager) I found him aggressive and rude. I questioned the customer service I had received, the wrong information of the menu content, and consequently the price of my food ordered. The state of his customer disabled toilets was brought to his attention and my sisters disgusting toilet experience. Not once did I receive an apology........ I offered £2 of the £4 outstanding balance. And suggested the remainder wouldn't be paid and could be seen as a gesture of good will due to the poor service and total bad experience on this visit. At this point the manager called me a thief, took my picture on his body camera. Told me I was barred from the pub and I would be placed on 'pub watch'...... do I have anything to say positive about my visit to 6 Chimneys. YES THE DEPARTURE FROM THE BUILDING. I will be writing to JD Witherspoons head office regarding this experience and been categorised as a criminal and called a thief.....and had my photograph taken without my consent for 'pub watch'.....

Enjoyed a leisurely Sunday morning breakfast at the newly refurbished Six Chimneys. It's huge, so no issues finding a seat. Fast, friendly service. Definitely one of the best Wetherspoons I've been to for food quality!

Quick service, lovely place. Would recommend

Much better after renovations. Recommended

I was the last person to get served, and they let someone push in. Disgraceful from the six chimneys.

Standard "spoons " pub. Very large. Great prices and extensive choice of drinks.

I had high hopes with the refurb that this spoons would be great. When we first went in I enjoyed it and thought this could become a great base for me and my friends to catch up. However, the staff were rude to us, slammed our drinks on the table, when we ticked to have a straw on the app, and they didn’t bring us one so we asked for one we got the response “They’re at the bar but whatever…” and then had straws thrown on our table. Appalling. My friend is diabetic and had a bit of a funny turn and threw up, because the pub was full and they had the heating on (this even made me unwell). So we went to the beer garden, and discovered this was locked so we went to the front entrance. When we came to the entrance, the bouncer said “You can’t bring a glass out here” which is fine, but I explained my friend had had a funny turn due to being diabetic and said that she just wanted some air and some water, they then laughed at us and were mocking us. I’m not the sort to leave reviews, but I’ve come away from this experience quite upset, it is disgusting that my friend was unwell and explained her condition to just be laughed at and that as bouncers they didn’t think to seek medical attention (I thought they were trained in this?) Overall, I’d not recommend this. It’s been done up but it’s no different to before in terms of staff and the bouncers.

The ultimate Wetherpoons It has been revamped and is huge inside

The joint has been expanded into the pub next door, so creating more seating for eating and drinking since my last visit. £3,000,000 spent. It needed it. It looks really nice, I'm sure the local Gurners will drag it back down!

very nice weatherspoons and the staff are very friendly with a smile and the food is very nice and the drinks are good price too

I visited today for lunch, i placed my order at the bar. When my food arrived it was the wrong order. I asked to speak to a manager, she got my order right away and refunded my money no problem.

What a beautiful refurbishment, very busy but the staff were on it and working very hard, no grumbles whatsoever

Good food, not prices always enjoying going there.

Really open now they have extended it to the old bar next door.

Clean and tidy , no glasses or plates and half eaten meals left on the tables . Well done all , keep it up 👍🏻

It was a nice place The food and drinks were nice

I'll be frank, before the renovations, I wouldn't really go in, it had a vibe (common place for done of Wakefield's alcoholics) Post renovations, I'd gladly go back as a place to meet up.

Looks amazing since the extension. Food great and service excellent. Table service slow when it's busy, quicker to go to the bar but that's standard.

To tick another JDW off the list, I visited whilst working in the area and this is a large and very spacious venue. It's recently been refurbished and you could tell. I only had a soft drink but there's plenty of choice for those like something stronger. Friendly staff and no waiting, albeit early on a Thursday evening. I haven't scored the food as I didn't eat. Probably one of the biggest I've visited.

Ah good old wetherspoons never let's down with smell unwashed people an racists same place just bigger ,nice menu was full so some of seating areas were messy but they soon cleared so.could sit

Called in for a drink on a weekday just before lunch time , I tried to get served at the bar with staff behind it totally clueless who they were serving !! two staff behind the bar they had no idea who had been waiting the longest, one of them I think was an acting supervisor she was too busy telling staff to put ear pieces in & asking her friends for her car keys back !!!! after a long long wait I gave in & left. You have serious issues with staff training BIG IMPROVEMENT needed with your bar staff.

Long time since I've visited The Six Chimneys. Really like the refurbishment / expansion - plenty of room between the tables, so doesn't feel cramped like some of their other branches. Came in on Easter Monday 2024 for breakfast, just before 10:00. Not too busy and plenty of seats available, so was able to get a booth in the new section. Ordered a small breakfast with mushrooms and an American breakfast with black pudding, plus hot drinks. The app wasn't available for table service, so had to order at the bar. Staff were efficient and friendly and our meals arrived quickly. Yes, it's not a Gastropub, so yo get what you pay for. Food was tasty and good value. Will definitely come again.

First visit since the extension and refurbishment. Went late Saturday afternoon, reasonably busy. Poor service at the bar. The guy next to me asked for a Moretti and was told ' we don't do it'. He then pointed to the bottles of Moretti in the fridge cabinet, no apology. She then served me, poured the two pints I ordered, left to settle but disappeared for nearly five minutes. Ordered another pint of the same drink for arriving friend from a different server. Paid the two separate bar staff but the price per pint didn't match up.

It is what it is but it is clean......
