The Spa Lane Vaults - JD Wetherspoon in Chesterfield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the better Wetherspoons, quick and efficient service

I clearly said that I am a vegetarian.., and I talked about wanting something with only vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers. They brought me sausages with eggs, (vegan sausages). Really disgusting! "If I am a vegetarian, why on earth.. should I eat something that looks like meat?" I asked for explanations.. they didn't want to listen to reason. The boss is a real idiot, who doesn't understand the needs of the customer, not to mention the waitress who was laughing. How squalid!!!! Go to other places.

Breakfast was excellent this morning; we had a Traditional Breakfast, a Vegetarian Breakfast and a small American Breakfast. The service was quick and the food and coffee was all great. This Wetherspoons is close to Chesterfield Town centre and is only a few minutes walk from the railway station. Certainly recommended for breakfast.

Spacious Wetherspoons just round the corner from the famed twisted spire.

It's a Weatherspoons. It does exactly what it says on the tin. BUT, on paying for my drink,in cash; I know,I'm a phillistine, the server dropped the change in my hand,in essence making me,almost catch it! Am I the only one who thinks people working in the service industry should have people skills? Up to and including how to hand change to a customer. Little things.

Great place good selection of food good prices

It's a spoons, does what it says on the tin.

As a shareholder I have to say today I was very disappointed, good drinks as usual but the quality of the steaks were really awful. Not worthy of a recommendation at all.

Cheap and cheerful is how I would describe this place. Staff are pleasant.

Good food served quickly, and with helpful and upbeat staff, bar service quick,and orders to the table took no time to arrive.

Great breakfast, friendly staff

Great food at reasonable price Good to meet up with friends

A town centre staple! Always has been and always will be a popular pub because drinks are so reasonably priced. Seems to be plenty of food choices and certain days have certain special offers, curry night, steak night, burger night etc which makes it even better value. Could do with a bit of tlc and a new carpet and paint but think that will be on the cards soon now it's been removed from a wetherspoon that due for closure to one that is remaining open.

An OK experience. Sometimes, some staff need to collect empty glasses, on a return journey from delivering food or drinks. Sometimes even to the same table.

Great service and excellent food for all

We go to Witherspoon's because it's good value for money, but also they have meals my vegetarian and gluten intolerant other half can eat. Spoon's gets looked down on by more 'upmarket' chains, but very few of them can match the number of meals for veggie coeliacs!

Only called in for breakfast in the mid point of a journey. Food came quicker than our coffee cups. And it wasn’t particularly busy at 10am Sunday morning. Food was standard as you’d expect at spoons. Unrelated pay and display car park round the back. £2.10 per hour. No change given. Cash only. (Not a spoons car park - but useful to know)

Good place to wind down, not too busy but a pleasant atmosphere with nice food

Food quick to arrive. Very reasonable price. We often choose a Weather spoons. One of the better ones.

Family members coat and bag was stolen.

Had breakfast with a mate. Best breakfast so far this visit.8

Always a great place for a quick drink!

Good food at a fair price with a more than adequate well kept cellar. Just what you would expect from a well run 'Spoons' 🙂

It's another great Wetherspoon pub. Very friendly staff and amazing service. Highly recommended

Very unhappy. I have problems with my hearing & im very self conscious about this, I came here with my friend as she’s been having a very hard time at the moment, I stupidly forgot my ID and my friend ordered some cocktails. I was then told I wasn’t allowed consume it but with my hearing I just agreed. Another gentlemen came over and proceeded to take the drinks & told me we were not getting a refund. I had not paid for these drinks.

Not too bad only had a drink.. our 159th spoons.. On our spoons journey..

Typical Wetherspoons type of pub with nice atmosphere and friendly service.

It's ok,but not the best spoons I've been in,quite basic not much atmosphere ,food has gone down hill a bit .

Visited today with friends from work. At 16:31 I ordered a simple Tennessee chicken burger via the Wetherspoons app, after clicking for payment the order didn’t process. I tried a second time and success the order and payment went through! However, I quickly noticed the app had added a second duplicate meal onto the transaction? Confused, I went straight over to a member of staff, who happened to be the manager on duty, stood by the kitchen door a few feet away. He said let me check in the kitchen and at 16:32 he said it was all being prepared and nothing could be reversed or changed. I can only think everything is made fresh seconds from ordering? I explained, I did not order the meal, their app added it onto the transaction. He completely refused to help/give me a refund and ridiculously I ended up with two meals. Overall, it’s not really the £9 odd they robbed from me but the principle of it. I can only think they must be very desperate to sell a below average cheap burger? I look forward to continuing this matter further with DEFRA and the Ombudsmen.

Although busy and loud with chatter it was still v enjoyable the service was fast and professional with the food being perfectly cooked per my order plenty of choice with the menu too all together a very enjoyable visit

So yh basso food was pukka, ngl steak was sick pal, then the drinks situation de-railed the whole experience coz i asked for a water took about 7 buisseness day to turn up ngl kinda felt suicidal, then some gezza gave out food to an old couple and was lovely but was to nice to the old dons and probs shouldnt have been so fire that nonce, and sort out ya bar, ya dunnoo BOI's

Very good. Came in after work. lovely hot curry and coke for £7.91, bargain. Nice staff. Curry was really nice. staff friendly and helpful at tables clean.

Nice pub, foor good and value for money

We always meet up in the spa Lane vaults Chesterfield, this Thursday was a 1940s day in Chesterfield, my 6-year-old grandaughter loved it

Glad that they decided to keep this place open,good crowd of regulars and passing trade,reasonably good food at great prices.

Good selection of drinks at reasonable prices for a town centre. Food is OK as you'd expect for a Spoons, you didn't mind cheap microwave meals when they were cheap but don't seem be good value anymore for the quality. Outside area is tiny and only really for smokers but plenty of tables inside.

One of the best pubs in Chesterfield. The staff are brilliant. It's a great starting point for the rest of your night and the food is banging!

We thought that the meal was only Luke warm and the gourmet steak was a bit fatty

Ye I took my 17 year old friend for food, I'm classed as an adult at 20, and got a pitcher for myself. Let her have some and she got told off. I took responsibility for it as I let her, but pretty sure there is a rule in the UK that says a 16 or 17 year old can have alcohol with food in a restaurant accompanied by an adult. Ye doesn't make sense, but whatever. Maybe that rule doesn't apply here or something. I had my ID as well. Nice food, poor service. Seem very grumpy.

Another spoons knocked off me list very good pub 👌

Friendly, welcoming staff providing good service in a lovely atmosphere, with great food and drink all at great prices.

I went out tonight with friends and had a pizza. 8" pizza plus an alcoholic for £7. Bargain ! A nice pizza, tasty and well cooked. Thank you to the staff.,

Don't normally go in spoons but decided on a whim for a quick drink. Decent pint 👍

Food is ok not the best but good for the money with a fresh pint

It's a Wetherspoons so you know exactly what you are getting. Good pub food and good beer at a good price!

It was a one night stay for an office event. Might go back to try the spa

Great pub with all the benefits of being a Wetherspoons. Good food, friendly service and as usual terrific value.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch. Lovely and warm room welcomed as it was pouring outside

Went for food with a friend service was very quick burger wasn't so good but the onion rings are beautiful

Lively town centre weather spoons cheap and quality food

You can't really fault Spoons, although they are very much a take it or leave kind of venue. Spa lane is no different from anywhere else. Well maintained, clean, a few resident alcoholics (recovering alcoholic myself absolutely no judgement ever), and loads of oldies nattering about bibles and the price of butter. Small outside area always busy on match days. Car park to rear however you are charged. Staff are pleasent enough but few look like they go the extra mile. As I say no problems here you get exactly what you pay for and it's done well and in a timely manner.

Love this pub value for money and food is nice and friendly staff

Went for meal prior to theatre, had mixed grill and a pint for £15, no complaints 👍

Not a bad meal for the money, fairly quiet but still a nice atmosphere.

Nice pub cheap beers good service

Pleasant staff, good value for money

It's ok just looking a bit tired now. Needs a spruce and update. Tables are always sticky, need a good wipe

It's spoons,the best one in chesterfield.The other one is OK if you want to get drugs or take orders of local shoplifters.

Fast service at a decent price, just wish it was dog friendly. Decent vegan choice.

Shame this will be closing at some point. Best of the 2 spoons in town.

Hi, i didn't have any food. So obviously i can't comment on that. But as you can see by my rating, everything else was very good.

A very good JD Wetherspoon pub that is a good size with plenty of seating. A good meeting place for initial drinks or a bite to eat. Will definitely be back!

It's a Witherspoon pub. They are pretty much all the same. Food and the drinks OK and cheap.

For Xmas Eve, busy. Will be back later. Had steak and chips. Real friendly place, food was good. More friendly and less heavy drinkers. Boxing day. Mixed grill. Chesterfield, great town.

Only went in for a pint and for a witherspoon is was a nice pint

Love this pub . Always a good atmosphere

Typical Spoons with great service cheap ale and the toilets upstairs 🤣🤣 2 spoons in Chesterfield and u prefer the Spa Lane

Beautiful meal and excellent service xx

Local started on me for brushing past his chair that was in the middle of a walkway almost immediately after I entered. Won't return.

Nice place but cold food. This has been a problem with a couple of Wetherspoons recently.

Always the same, very good breakfast at a great price staff first class 😀

Typical pub grub, which was ok, service was fast and the staff friendly.

Pretty impressive for a Wetherspoons. Always a great selection of ales (more than - a lot of other Wetherspoons) that regularly change. Food is your standard stuff for a spoons, but I’ve never had any problems with how it’s cooked at this one.

Food and drinks arrived quickly.

Food was lovely, servers were friendly and efficient. The only downfall is the slight delay between your meal and drinks arriving but to be expected in busy places

Good selection of real ales, was quite busy for dinner period. Very surprised JDW has selected this pub for potential closure.

Nice place family friendly reasonable prices polite friendly staff got potential

Great local weatherspoons pub with everything reasonably priced.

Always like the Spa Lane Vaults prefer it to the Portland Hotel sadly it's going up for sale always has a good turnout too

Very conviviable atmosphere with good pub food at reasonable prices. Always enjoyable.

One very rude member of staff just spoilt it will not be returning

Very controversial as it is a memorial the fallen of them USSR.

Only had coffee, but as always with Wetherspoons, excellent value.

Great place for a catch up with friends. Had a vegetarian breakfast really good

The service was decent and the staff were friendly. The food was nice and didn't take too long to come.

Great meal for the price, will deff go again

Seemed a good pub Was a shame outdoor seating was closed Staff polite.

Typical Wetherspoons. Good value for money. Fast service. No nonsense.

Awesome staff, great food for wetherspoons pub. Will always recommend here for food and drinks.

Fantastic service. Bar staff very friendly and the food came out extremely quickly. Food was great value for money.

Staff were lovely, the food was really good. Great place for a pub lunch. Was a bit busy, but it was a Friday lunchtime, so I expected it to be full.

The sirloin steak was disgusted.. they arnt big but half of mine was fat n gristle

I had the madras curry along with a couple of pints of Plum Porter. The curry was spot on although the rice wasnt too great. Value for money and clean place.

It's a 'spoons ! Everything you'd expect. Decent food, beer and good value.

Good cheap pub. It's a spoons so decent but no great food

App doesn't work properly. Ordered for seven people, app deleted an order after payment and changed Pinot grigo to Pepsi. Staff not helpful just wanting to spit hairs, when food did arrive it wasn't great quality, the chicken breast had bones and the steak was very gristly. Also said no mixes grills left however they did have and we're serving steak, chicken, lamb, pork and sausages so the kitchen staff could easily have made up a mixed grill without going to much effort

Excellent spotlessly clean. Brilliant service 👏

Busy but got a table, easily ordered food with the app, drinks came quickly and the food was reasonably priced, nice and tasty

Everything is as expected from wetherspoons, shame one or two of the staff seem peed off all the time

Spoons does exactly what it says on the tin. All Spoons are the same, nothing fancy. Food is crazy cheap and always to a good standard. It will never be gourmet, but if you're fancing pub grub or some sexy starters (or just want a cheap meal), this is the place. Atmosphere can vary depending on how long the day drinkers have been in there 😅
