Very good we enjoyed our fish and chips and the chilli non Carne was tasty too. £1.77 for a pint of Abbots ale and a large soda water with ice and lemon. Which is less than we normally pay at any pub.

The manager almost ruined my friends birthday. A member of our party used to work there. The manager pulled her to one side and told her she was banned. Even though had been served on a previous visit. Never approached the table to explain to our party the situation. By this time we had ordered drinks on the app. When other members of our group turned up they were refused until this ex member of staff left. We had to push to get our money back. The manager was still reluctant to do so. Her comments were I'll do it this time. I'm a mature woman and never experienced this rude unprofessional behaviour. This person is clearly in the wrong job.

Go for breakfast fast every Saturday. Morning with my brother, can’t complain about the food. Just the bar service , People just walk up to bar and staff not really sure whose next to be served, Should have rail up , with entry at one end and exit at the other end. That way service would be fair and organised, This is not just the Wakefield pub . Visited a few whitherspoon pubs and all seem to be pretty much same

this place is a HELL HOLE! we walked in and sat down, everything was going fine. we ordered our drinks and looked forward to a nice catch up. but that’s where we were wrong. the lady, short, plump brunette woman with a bun, came over and slammed our drinks down on the table. my friend was watching a video on her phone, and the lady demanded that she turned it off immediately as we weren’t allowed volume. which she did. when we ordered more drinks, we got the same nasty attitude as before. that’s when we decided to ask for the lady’s name. i asked another member of staff and he replied “i don’t know who you’re on about.” and stormed away without warning. after that, we asked another member of staff. she told us she wasn’t allowed to give out any names. what? the staff are disgracefully rude and unprofessional. i would warn you to never come to this wetherspoons as the atmosphere is horrible and upsetting.

Went to this pub with my friends before going to Westgate. Atmosphere seemed nice originally but then the “manager” Lucy falsely accused us of having being banned previously and once we explained we weren’t went on to say “our kind weren’t welcome here anyway”. As me and my friends are Muslim, we found this very offensive. I am unsure if she said it to be racist or because she didn’t believe we had never come before but it was a bad first impression and left a sour taste. AVOID!!

Spent every tuesday minimum meeting up with a friends this has been for atleast the last 6 years .we were thrown out on Tuesday my friend is 69 I'm 55 . All because they have a policy about people helping the homeless that come into store selling item .if you give them any money your out so don't get a conscience and lower yourself to helping someone in Need no matter how much they beg. We did point out the weather conditions and we're not due to be picked uptill 10pm but rules are rules at spoons . We did try to plead but all the staff with there little cameras and earpieces think they are part of secret services, remember loyalty at weatherspoons means nothing .and this was confirmed by email the staff answer to no one. This was a five star review changed to 1 star and well deserved , how things can change with a new manager on board .

Visited here today with friends, my friend ordered her food at the till. Member of staff brought the food out my friend said I ordered mine in a muffin, staff member left then continued to clean tables. My friend asked is my breakfast coming? To be told no by same staff member you ordered it as a sandwich and not muffin so no it's not coming. I said working in a cafe myself can't you just do it on the muffin? No she ordered it on bread at the till staff repeated the order that's what she gets. My friend raised voice a little as staff very rude indeed. Basically saying she wasn't getting anything, I was like so till person has made an error and she's like no your friend. Absolutely shocking she's like then I'll get a manager, took ages to come to us. Who was lovely but I pointed out his staff member was very rude and smug even though all my friend had asked if she was getting her breakfast replacement? To which she replied no with a smirk on her face, wasn't even going to tell my friend. I work in a cafe environment and I would never just leave a customer sat waiting not even mentioning anything, you can easily offer to do a refund and put the correct item through the till it's not hard to do. Absolutely ridiculous all they had to do was swap the bread for a muffin. The manager was lovely just needs to sort the very rude staff out I would never treat or leave a customer how this lady did very disappointed

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).

Booked here as we wanted a carvery, and it's been a few years since we last went. Initial reaction on entering was that it was dark and dingy. All staff that we met were polite, ( except the bloke serving the carvery!) we hadn't actually looked at the menu prior to going and put some 'pigs in blankets on our plate' we were greeted by a loud " you have to pay for them" they were put back in the pot by us. We had to wait for some veg to be filled up, out came cauliflower sprinkles with the tiniest amount of cheese on. It looked (to me) as though most of the veg was frozen, ( but cooked) not fresh. No sauces apart from gravy. The server appeared frazzled. To get to the carvery, there are several steps. We went to the bar, which was no big deal. The pub itself was full, so some folk approve, but we won't go again, as we didn't like the ambience, or the interior.

15:30ish on 01/10/2022. Went into Costa for coffee and a bun. Although there were 5 members of staff on duty when we arrived, the queue in store was long, as was the queue for the drive through. Staff were busy, and consequently half or more of the tables were left uncleared, making the inside seating area look very untidy. Coffee was good when we eventually got served, although the buns were underwhelming. The Pastel de Nata was almost albino, instead of having a brown crispy shell. The Cinnamon Brioche was tasteless. Despite bringing in two reusable coffee mugs, I only received one green bean instead of two.
