The Thomas Botfield in Telford and Wrekin

Typical Spoons, you get what you pay for. Could have a better range of beers, but that seems to be all Spoons nowadays. Abbot, Riddles, Doombar ..yawn...

Visited botfield, Telford, Sunday evening (05/01) to have a quiet drink to celebrate my eightieth birthday. The whole evening was spoilt by a table of 30 who were noisy throughout, even singing. My son complained to one of the bar staff with no effect. The Duty Manager appeared not to be in control, ignoring the problem whilst delivering copious drinks to their table. On previous visits, others have been banned for far less, or asked to leave.

Always busy cheap and cheerful, disappointed this time around 3 coffee cups handed back very dirty size of breakfast both large and standard have portions reduced and coffee which I usually enjoy very week

Lovely food.Staff friendly and go above and beyond to make your visit enjoyable.

Decent food could of been better but was busy

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING EXPERIENCE. A family member and I went into this dump for a Xmas drink and meal, my meal was burnt in parts but thought I may as well eat what I could, I didn't finish it and complained to the staff whom treated with utter contempt! even accusing me of being a liar! (they've accused the wrong person). I might add the 'manager' swore at me too, totally unacceptable conduct, and I will put this matter in a formal complaint to the head office. It is true in that some Wetherspoons pubs are better than others but I have never been so badly treated as I was in The Thomas Botfield - just a disgusting place and an overhaul of staff should root out the bad from the good.

Go here quite a lot came here today for lunch with a friend was very busy managed to get a table ordered food and drink was pleased how quick the food came

Tight spaces between tables with no good walkway for people to make their way to and from the table, also stood for a long time in front of 3 bar staff to be completely ignored when the bar person asked who was next went to someone behind me. She then had a go at me because she thought I was being served. Obviously the bar persons fault, she did take my order, but then rolled her eyes the who process and muttered some rude obscenity towards me to the customer behind me. Customer service failing. The server brought out the food, it was lovely, and the server was pleasant. That's why the review gets a 3 star.

Went for lunch with family. I decided to have the turkey dinner from the Christmas menu. When it came the mash was dried up on top, some of the turkey slices were very dry , no cranberry sauce, gravy congealed and not much of it. Looked as if the dinner had been plated earlier in the morning. On the way out I did pass someone else having the turkey dinner which looked far fresher than the one I was served.

Welcoming atmosphere with real log fire.

Typical British pub. Cheap and cheerful.

A well established Spoons ....usual good standard of cleanliness and tables cleared promptly...no more to add

Lovely pub .nice interior and staff very reasonable prices. I was only there with work colleagues for drinks but we had a grate time.

Lovely clean environment, the staff were great

Standard spoons . You know what your gonna get

Came here for a few drinks late afternoon lovely place clean and tidy staff all kind and pleasant and didn't have to wait long for our drinks as we did table order

Great value and wide range of drinks and wine

Over priced, low quality, not enough chips, service was slow.

My friends and I visited JD Wetherspoon around 7 PM to celebrate a birthday, and we were very impressed. The atmosphere was serene and inviting, truly the perfect place for a special occasion. In my experience, restaurants in the Telford area sometimes struggle to maintain high food quality during peak hours, but this was not the case here. Every dish was cooked to perfection, exceeding our expectations. It was a delightful experience that we would highly recommend to others.

Great place for early morning breakfast

Recently visited for large English breakfast. Very fast service. Unlimited coffee refills. Friend had a vegan breakfast. Would have been nice if there was a large option of this too. Only alternative was to add on extra items.

A busy morning for breakfast, but the speed of service, and hot food, was wonderful

Onwards of the nicer of the chain of pubs.

Nice and affordable place to hangout

Dated, cheap quality drinks, toilets packed with a gang making access awkward and making other guests nervous. Overall not a place I would recommend.

Great prices. Fast food delivery time even though it was very busy. Great staff

"Manager" & staff attitudes are beyond appaling. Food, also appaling. Don't complain - you will be met with customer service bereft attitude and absolutely no genuine apology. While complaining about the rock hard microwaved chicken burger, that could have acted as a test cricket ball, I was told it is "microwaved...and??"... because the world is filled with advice on how you should most definitely microwave a chicken bresst for the best burger and then charge people for the privilege of such an amazing burger! Also, while complaining, pointlessly, heard another member of staff talking about how someone had dropped 6 needles in the pub. Disgusting, unsafe, embaressment to the brand. Should be shut down ASAP.

They have some nice guest ales on here and food is reasonably priced to

Ordered on the app very fast food service and friendly staff

Nice friendly staff,been using the place since it opened

Fast service, friendly staff, hot and delicious food.

Great pub. Shame about the parking. Paid at the machine and got a ticket from the camera. Wouldn’t come again due to the fine I had for parking. Shame really

There was shit all over the floor, staff members using slurs in the staff area, terrible.

Hubby + i went in for breakfast. It was very easy to order on the app , the breakfasts came out really quick + were delicious.the only downside was there was a guy working there hammering + banging

Food is your standardised Wetherspoons food, always comes out hot, never under or overcooked, an average wait of 10-15 minutes for food. Easy to order on the app or at the bar. Plenty of bargains to be had on each day of the week. The toilets are on the same floor and not hard to locate, so not quite your usual 5 mile trek to the loo. This pub caters for all tastes and used to be the starting point for most bar crawls before big nights out but as the closest bars are now at Southwater across the road/via town centre, it leaves Wetherspoons to deal with it's usual suspects.... Friends catching up for unlimited hot drinks, older gents who like the company of a few beers alone or with an old drinking pal, family gatherings for a cheeky cheap meal, etc. Definitely not as fancy as what is on offer at Southwater, so it's a no go for major celebrations or first dates. It's relatively quiet, the TVs are on constantly and there are a few fruit machines dotted around. There is a raised eating area, accessible by a ramp, an outdoor dining area split between smoking and non smoking areas.

Rude staff, spoke to my husband like dirt after our wobbly table causec our drinks to fall over...horrible place to go. NEVER again

You know I love a vibrant English pub especially on an early Sunday morning. The raucous clink of plates and the energetic conversations. Cheap and cheerful. The atmosphere still clings to an age of cigarette smoke and the carnival thrills of the one armed bandits beckon the wishful thinkers. With an extensive menu that takes 2 coffees to work through the choice is inevitably a try-hard celebration to the working mans appetite. The breakfasts just like mum used to make and a relief to the sadistic economic depression. Wonderfully cheap, delightfully packed, deliciously prepared, although at times may have lingered a little too long under the heat lamps. A must for the kids is the succulent small fish and chips which I are well worth pilfering when a suitable distraction falls in place. The all you can drink tea and coffee encourages sentimental conversations of a time when politically correct was nothing more than a punchline. I write this in the hope that this precious sanctuary to a by-gone age is left alone and as well-preserved as the generous eagerness of the youthful service.

Nicely appointed interior, there's an outdoor no-smoking area. Pity the staff (and parents!)allow children to run around noisily, particularly as there are many customers and staff moving around with drinks and plates of hot food.

Dropped on a busy time but still served in good time , food was Wetherspoons high standard

Great service from the staff. Very helpful and good prices

Had large breakfast and it was served on a cold plate so baked beans went cold, eggs went cold bacon went cold the only thing that stayed hot was the sausage ,one person on our table of 4 whom received his breakfast 1st complained about eggs being cold and had them replaced so you'd have thought the lesson could have been learnt but no

Had two meals here now since working in Telford. Both breakfasts. Now I gave it the benefit of the doubt 1st time around. As it was busy. Today I had poached eggs on toast and mushrooms. And it was stone cold. Now how does eggs on toast come out cold. Mushrooms was watery from going cold. Service none existent. No how was your food. Everything OK with your food Client be bothered won't be eating here again

Typical spoons cheap cheerful and great for people watching. My local been there countless times never been disappointed

Weather spoons is a great place to come and chill my server Danny was so polite and helped with my every whim highly recommend.

Good food lovely staff and good prices definitely recommended 👌

Popped in for a drink 🍻unbelievable prices🤯#cheapas 🤯🍻💯 Great experience 👍🏻 Will be using again 🍻 See you soon 😊

Quiet and out of the way so you can relax with ease. Staff friendly and attentive no matter what the time of day

We love going there food lovely and not expensive

Another lovely visit and meal and Chloe was very helpful and efficient.

Same has all spoons Cheap drinks sticky tables

Busy, friendly, clean. No long waits and food hot and nicely presented.

Great menu, nice food and reasonable prices. Busy atmosphere but didn't wait too long

Good value for money good service. Great table service

Delicious food (English breakfast) and perfect tea with milk. I recommend.

This is one of the best Wetherspoons that I have been to, I wasn't expecting much but could not fault the food, drink or service. We ordered a pizza and fish and chips, both were excellent quality and cooked perfectly. If only all Wetherspoons were this standard. We also went on a Saturday night, the pub was really busy but the service was fast and efficient. Highly recommended.

Not the best spoons grub ever, nice inside and staff lovely

Nice place, food was good, staff were friendly. Thanks

£22 meals for me and my wife turned into £82 for 2 meals because I got a parking fine, even though I paid for it with coins at the machine. A shame that Telford town council let this scam company operate over here. Avoid this car park at all costs otherwise it will cost you big time whether you pay or not.

We had a lady serve us (red hair, tattoos) and she was extremely rude and horrible to us. Worst of all ,she refused to sell me alcohol because my ID was damaged, even though it still clearly states I'm above the legal limit (I'm 27 with a beard). She was rude to us throughout the visit. Absolutely SHOCKING service even for a Wetherspoons! This lady should not work here...

Typical Wetherspoons pub, big, ok bar food, nothing special.

The ginger girl who works behind the bar is RUDE! She was rude too my friends and is clearly just pissed off that she works in a spoons. Grow up babe xx

Decent food. Competitively priced drinks and most importantly, friendly and accommodating staff. Will be back

Great prices and friendly staff only criticism is ...table could've been cleaned more quickly as ours was dirty when we sat down and dirty when food arrived

We came for breakfast and the staff were amazing rasheen literally went way and abover for our whole table shes poilte and nothing was a task at all. Thank you so much for making our breakfast a very pleasant visit xxx

Wonderful place close to the town center

Usual Weatherspoons selection of beers, cocktails and food at good prices.

We often visit here for a dinner on our way home from Wales, however we won't be calling again having received a parking fine due to unclear parking signage

Food was good. Service quite fast even though it was busy. Good value for money.

Really good clean place to eat and drink

Had a really nice breakfast. Food was really hot and tasty. Staff were also friendly and inviting.

Probably the worse Wetherspoons meal we have had.

My local when on a lads day out. try the craft beers and look out for the managers specials on the bar. (food) Use the APP if your legs are tired and order from your table. nice outdoor area for those sunny days.

Very enjoyable great beer and service

Never been here but it looks nice

Cheap (ish) and cheerful spoons! Wait time for food was longer than expected but it was a busy mid day in half term. Good selection of food at lower costs than most places - still have noticed an increase lately. Staff friendly and helpful, although orders were getting mixed up and brought to the wrong tables it was fine soon after.

Not one of the best spoons I've been to,staff are helpful but the food was not up to scratch poor mixed grill and waiting 45 minutes for desert not good service

Loved it nice little spoons not rowdy

I like this place.It my favourite place in city.

Always great value, great meeting place with good quality food

Popped in for some lunch today the food was excellent & nice & hot , the staff very welcoming and friendly, the pub its self is hidden away from the main road and town centre really recommend this place

Great location to the shopping centre for a quick libation before carrying on looking at the kazillion shops available.

Just like many others. Popular place for a pint and burger

Called here for breakfast with my sister and niece for the first time. I absolutely do not agree with other poor reviews of this pub. We had a very nice hot breakfast ( i had eggs Benedict ) served by friendly staff and very reasonably priced. There were plenty of staff cleaning around and everywhere was spotless. I agree it is a bit dated and in need of a refurb but could not fault the staff and food. Will definitely return.

Good value food, friendly staff

Has to be the worst pub I’ve ever been to, made me feel extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable. constant staring from a few of the staff, the food was burnt and also cold and took the food away before we was finished. DO NOT RECOMMEND. The food and atmosphere completely horrendous and atrocious.

Love have my lunch their once a month very clean and fast service

Cheap food and drinks, great atmosphere 😁

delicious, fresh sweets You can compose your own desserts. Affordable prices

Food was very good for the price . Very loud and very busy but overall a good evening

Visited St georges day, April 23rd, not ONE St george flag absolutely nothing St george on show. Yet St paddy's day and burns night ( scottish) there were flags galore, big celebrations which is fine but also celebrate the COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN!! I asked barstaff where are St george flags, he shrugged and said " I dunno" unbelievable. People in St george tops were coming to door, seen no flags and walking off. The 3 other pubs we visited, did celebrate St george, flags, posters, big smiles saying happy St george day to everyone, so we ate and drank there.

Always busy , very hectic , some staff friendly, some busy staff some not , staff mainly friendly , can understand that it's a bit busy when alot in there

We sometimes go early for a meal, it's great as there is some times a manager special, all way great value and not to many people so get served prompt

Service a bit too fast, toilets are on site, food is good, great selection of drinks.

Not the right atmosphere for families Friday tea time... Mixed grill. Eat very chewy. Got jacket potato ordered wrong. Standard burger chips and katsiu chicken quite nice Value for money about right

Great Experience with helpful staff

As usual at a Wetherspoon a great choice of menu all at reasonable prices. Food served fast, hot and tasty. As usual at a Wetherspoon, decor and furnishings showing signs of wear and tear

Can't beat weatherspoons for a cheap family meal. Never had an issue here

Great spoons. As usual, nice selection of ales. Can't comment on food as I didn't eat but service and atmosphere was exceptional

Large Wethespoons pub with all of the same facilities you would expect from this chain. Reasonable food at good prices. Reasonably cheap beer and drinks offers always available.

Typical Wetherspoons. Good service. Good value
