The Vulcan - JD Wetherspoon in North Lanarkshire

Class pub friendly service. Delicious steak pie!

Lovely staff and great variety of food, much more than your standard pub grub. Beer is very well priced too!

The girl Server very helpful and friendly Bacon roll had real butter and served hot

Since being taken over, the food has improved drastically. Food was great, staff were great and prices were great. The cheese cake and ice cream were a different lever. 5* stuff cheers. See you soon.

Fantastic all round and great price was icing on the cake . It’s a must place for food 👍

Cut open my fish water and grease poured out from inside the batter tryed to eat it .couldn't .fish was poorly cooked and rest time on hotplate to crisp and fat drain off. My freind had a burger which he said were previously outstanding. Was not so good ,my freind put it down to a possible different Sheff.soup starter and pakaroa were excellent!

Nice friendly place for a meal and drink.

Always meet family here for a catch up, really nice food and very reasonably priced and love the big comfy chairs to relax in. Would defo recommend 👍

Amazingly customer service and great food and drinks 5 Gold Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great food at great prices ,portions are absolutely massive ,so best be hungery

My "local" - nice atmosphere when it's not too busy - good food but please keep the door near the kitchen closed - it can get a bit cold and it smells of smoke - would've got more stars if they fixed this.... Now changed hands - so no rotating ales but does have Chieftain on tap... very nice 5.5% ale --- good food menu too - pensioners specials

Staff very welcoming, atmosphere was so chilled and food was delicious, looks plain but was so good. Not been in for over 5 years and will be back regularly. 👍

Good selection of beers, dog friendly. Will come back

Sehr gutes schottisches Frühstück. Es ging sehr schnell.

Had macaroni cheese, was pretty nice. Couldn't fault it.

Lovely friendly welcome. All the french windows and doors were open as it was really warm which was much appreciated. Ordering was easy; go to bar with table number and order and pay there. Went for breakfast and really enjoyed it. We all had the same; the Wee Jimmy which was lorne sausage, fried egg, bacon, potato scone and beans. It comes with a slice of toast as well. All was hot and fresh and tasted lovely. Staff member was very attentive and made our morning very pleasant.

A warm welcome awaits you and your family, wheelchair accessible, atmosphere is laid back and informal, even the duty manager serves you, the beer is local and the food is excellent, the portions are huge and the curry club on a Thursday is fantastic.... Highly recommend The Vulcan.

Used to be a wetherspoons chain pub,its still okay but as expected the prices have went up and up,loyalty obviously does not pay when the cards were taken away.

Please note this is not a weatherspoons anymore, should have known when walking in at lunch time instead of being crowded ,there was only about 6 customers. Pub prices.

Great home cooked food, great beer and service. I'd definitely recommend a visit if you're after a fairly priced meal.

Met up with bunch of guys for Pre stag do drinks 👌reasonably priced drinks and big enough for all 43 of us 🤣.

Had Fish and chips with mushy peas and a couple of pints. The price was great, pints were tasty and the food was well cooked and plentiful.

Visited the vulcan with my partner and her family it was nice inside. I had a burger it was very nice. I enjoyed everybite, and everyone else seemed to enjoy the food the staff was friendly and attentive I would go here again. The name appealed to the geek in me. 😄 🤣

Nice and clean pub that offers food. We were just in for breakfast. It was a bit disappointing as it looked good but not much taste. Coffee was cold by time food came so a second cup offered would be nice.

What a gafff Staff are brilliant Much better place now with music

Had a lovely meal staff are very friendly

very good food staff are so lovely

Good Afternoon out with the wife and friends

nice friendly local pub food is pretty decent & theirs a good atmosphere staff are lovely .

Visited the Vulcan today. Great wee pub with very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. My better half ordered the chicken burger and I had the beef burger. Great quality and very tasty. Will visit again

I ordered eggs benadict, never had it before so was a bit worried lol but ong it was stunning!! Only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 was because we walked in went to sit at a table and had to walk past the disabled toilet which the door was wide open 🤢 not the best view I have to say !!

Good, food was a bit slow on arriving, but the standard was Weatherspoons.

The owner of the business is pro Brexit. Seeing that most of Scotland voted against it not sure why they still are in business in this country.

Place is getting worse manager Sam has ran most of the regulars out it Been a regular there for over 10 years n won’t be back he’s needing trained on customer service and how speaks to people he’s an utter disgrace on a so called manager think he’s taking manager to the extremes and giving him a big head. young lassies get the best customer service off him for some reason

Visited for a quick bite and didn’t feel all that safe. Didn’t see much social distancing between the staff and felt like the next table was too close. Won’t be returning.

Arrived for food at lunchtime, had to leave without being served due to the horrific smell coming from a large table of middle-aged gentlemen, none of whom were complying with social distancing. I'm quite sure one of them had actually soiled himself.

we had drinks here on Saturday evening sat outside and the service was excellent. We had to order on the app and within minutes it was at our table even though it was quite busy inside and out. They were also following guidelines very well.

When we entered the pub we got our drinks. We then stood at a table which had a reserved from 16.00pm. We asked if the table was still reserved as it was now 17.50pm. The bar person that we asked brought the manager over and he said it should have been reserved from 17.00pm and that the people who reserved it were still eating else where and would be there soon. We then asked if you can reserve tables for drinks now and said it was reserved and that was the end of it. He then walked away and made a phone call and came back to inform us that the people who had reserved the table were starting to come in and that we would have to leave the table. After we put a bit of a protest to him he walked away from us we then left our drinks and walked out. It seems to be that the management are reserving tables for there regulars as i have never heard of reserving a table for people who are eating else where then coming into the pub for drinks. As far as me and my wife are concerned we will not be in the pub again.

Staff were friendly and helpful, food was typical mass-produced catering fodder boiled in a bag. It was tasty though. Good selection of ales which was nice to see.Unfortunately the rest of the clientele left much to be desired. A table of ageing alcoholics sat right at the entrance, and were clearly all strangers to soap and water. One of which was an elderly woman who was quite intoxicated and in need of no more alcohol. Not the sort of thing you want to see or smell when eating your lunch. Language was inappropriate even by the standards of a jakey pub.Would be a far nicer atmosphere if the management had a clear out of the sort of customers who should be sitting on benches outside betting shops, growling menacingly at passers-by.

I was at this Wetherspoon's pub last week with my sister. We stopped off for some dinner and weren't disappointed. The food is actually cheaper in this pub than in others so we had two main courses with soft drinks and had change out of a tenner.It's not posh but the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is acceptable especially for the prices charged.

Not been here for years. Thought we’d pop in for a quick bite to eat with family and it was full of drunks with about half a dozen standing right outside the door smoking with stunk out the inside of the place. Really not nice atmosphere, it was like going into an old mans house that smokes like a chimney.

Fast decent breakfast as always excellent value. Can’t beat the value of this breakfast it’s a shame that it will be closing as a wetherspoons

This place doesn’t look much but is always great for breakfast, food is cooked and hot and the staff are very friendly

Standard Wetherspoons range of food and drink available, served quickly and food arrived in a good time. The manager and bar staff were really friendly and welcoming to the whole family; people make a business.

Great selection of Ale. Great staff. Great value. Decent food. One of only 3 pubs in Coatbridge worth visiting. (The others being St A’s and Owens)If visiting with kids, sit to the right as close to the window as possible, unless you want to expose them to the language of the 11am club.

Plenty of choice on breakfast menu. Free coffee refills. Quick efficient service. Lovely runny poached eggs.

Having just been in to another local pub/restaurant and were not impressed, we crossed the road to Wetherspoons. It was busy, a good sign, and a little bit noisy. You order and pay at the bar, the service was quite fast, the meals were very good. Would definitely recommend for lunch.

We went in and I honestly thought....too noisy!

Very pleasant, friendly staff and really busy place. Had a great lunch with my son, nachos, macaroni bites and halloumi fries yum

Ann at the Vulcan is a fantastic attentive member of staff.I am in the Vulcan frequently with a young lady i support in my job role as a carer. Ann goes over and above to ensure everything is to our satisfaction and she really takes an interest in looking after us and engaging with us to give a personilised service. Thank you so much Ann we always enjoy our visits.

Ordered a baked potato with 5 bean chilli.. not thinking that the 5 bean chilli meant you get 5 beans on your potato..

This is a typical wetherspoons offering but better than the usual, staff are really friendly, food is good and actually cooked well, prices unbeatable so a winner every time for breakfast and great coffee!

On the main road across from Mondo hotel that I stayed in. Usual weatherspoons, staff friendly, food decent cost, cheaper than a normal pub

Typical wetherspoons but this one has friendly staff, great service and the food is very good and always warm, great value!

Took a couple of Norwegian friends for a few drinks. They both enjoyed it. A good selection of beers at a great price and fine surroundings. I was insulated on the way to the toilets by a drunkered too, which made my day. Great.

Great place for food and drink. Prices are very reasonable and the food is well prepared and presented. Excellent for meeting friends and family. It is sometimes a little too busy but that goes to show how popular it is. Definitely visit often.

Better than many other Wetherspoons pubs I’ve been in as the staff seem to have been there a while ... had breakfast there Sunday morning and wasn’t really looking forward to it but was pleasantly surprised.. I wish all Wetherspoons pubs were like this one

Happened to be in town when the curry evening was on. Think it is every Thursday. At first was a bit sceptical not knowing how hot the curries would be but was assured they cater for all tastes. It arrived piping hot (heat not strength) and was extremely tasty. This must be the best Rogan Josh I had eaten outside of the Middle East where I lived for many years. Absolutely beautiful. My wifes vegetable was just as good. Poppadoms and naan bread completed a great meal.

Very typical Wetherspoons but always good for breakfast, staff are very friendly and efficient, food is good and comes out quickly and cooked properly

Had lunch here food and service good however felt more like an old mans local pub rather than a wetherspoons. A bit disappointed at the decor very run down

Food is ok in here, get what you pay for really Reasonably priced pub food. Fish is nice would recommend.

Good food, first class staff and competitive prices for both food and drinks combined with an ambient atmosphere

Went into the Vulcan tonight to socialise with friends not even to drink,I hadn’t even walked in a minute and one of the servers came marching over demanding to see ID. Which is fair enough but his attitude was terrible and he was so rude to me, I didn’t have ID with me and told me too leave. He watched me until I left. Fair enough I had no ID but his attitude was horrible and I will not be coming back again. No need to treat someone like that

This Wetherspoons is very small compared to most others and in an ugly building. Went in for lunch and they didn’t have any hotdogs which was what I really wanted. Then, they didn’t have the J2O I wanted (always available in other Wetherspoons). The food was fine though. It was very quiet for a Sunday lunch time. Not the best atmosphere but the staff were good.

Went for Breakfast ordered Full Scottish if you have a big appetite you will find this very fulfilling. If you dont dont even try to attempt it. Everything was freshly cooked we both enjoyed it

I was on a business trip and the hotel restaurant was closed so I was advised to pop over the road (literally!) to The Vulcan for some dinner. It was a quiet Monday evening, so service was very quick. I had a lovely chicken wrap (quite spicy!) and a cracking pint with lovely staff.

Great freindy service from the staff go out there way to make you feel welcome Great Food, very great prices.

Once again the food is amazing , lovely staff ,very friendly and helpful, our Valentine’s meal and prosecco 👌🏻🍾 just perfect , highly recommend 🥂 thanks for a lovely night 😉

Stopped off the other day for breakfast. Just arrived as it opened up. Got a friendly welcome and proceeded to use the app to order our breakfast. Large breakfast, roll bacon and pancakes. Heard the ping when I sent the order coming from the bar area and a few mins later it arrived. Unlimited coffee is a bonus. Well worth the money.

I had no choice but to eat here as our hotel restaurant shut at a ridiculous time and they sent us over. The staff were pleasant and efficient. I ordered a salad with chicken and avocado. It was nice all fresh and chicken was tasty....

You just can’t beat a wotherspoons breakfast! Great food, inexpensive and unlimited tea and coffee now, friendly staff as well! Result!

This is a wetherspoons with a bit of a difference, for a start it's smaller than the average and has more of a local community feel to it, decor needs updating, decent prices, average food, quick attentive staff, non sticky tables, welcoming fireplace, even car...

Popped in here for morning coffee whilst on the area. Barca taffeta were friendly enough howwver the place looks like it hasn't been touched up since the day it opened.

Great pub at great prices! New self service coffee is also fantastic value for money. Tipical spoons! Food is standard

A decent bar, very busy with a mix of old and young and a really good, friendly atmosphere.

We only dropped in for a drink and found the service ok.

First time back in Coatbridge for about 5 years Have been to the Vulcan before but only for a drink . This time decided to try the food menu all three meals were given the thumbs up .Pleasant staff and tables cleared quickly when they were vacated . May call again before going home

Jumped in for a quick beer before meeting friends , if ud blindfolded me id have guesses i was in an old folks home , the smell of ammonia would choke a horse , the selection of beers is great and all at low prices but the regulars are all abt 80 or just barred from everywhere else , typical wetherspoons , feet welded to carpet if u stand any longer than 30secs in same position , old guys hoggin a table for4 to themselves n the odd addict jumpin into the bog to fill there needs !

Stopped by every night while working in Scotland.good selection off Beers . Good range off food. car parking to side off premises

Came in for breakfast, place was empty, served right away and food came out quick, decent enough quality and very good prices

So in Coatbridge Friday night with Friends, this must be the smallest Wetherspoons we have been in!

Tenía una comida de la tarde en el pub, me pareció limpia y ordenada. Se sirvió comida rápida y bien preparada. Un montón de televisiones que estaban mostrando las carreras de caballos. Visité la semana y estaba bastante tranquila. Los inodoros estaban impecables limpias.

Visit regularly for meals and drinks. Staff are great, all helpful and friendly. Great value and food is nice. The place itself badly needs refurbished, toilet floor tiles, carpets and seating look dirty (as so old) and very tired looking but believe there are plans for decoration and beer garden. The sooner the better I say as its a great family friendly pub

Tras una estupenda excursión y una vuelta por la ciudad de Stirling, entramos para cenar. Buena comida y bebida, así como la atención de los camareros. Gran variedad de raciones.

Stayed at the Mondo Hotel over the road so had a few beers in here . Visited April 2017 nice wee pub friendly staff £2:00 a pint nice atmosphere pizza shop next door opened till 2 am. Had breakfast in here the next morning was fine £3:50 for a scottish breakfast . Would definitely ud again .

Visited The Vulcan on numerous occasions, the food is always reasonable for what you pay for. The service and the staff are always helpful and fairly knoweldgeable regarding the real ales - the prices are good for the alcohol Overall always a good experience

Typical Wotherspoons, excelllent breakfast and inexpensive, good quality and staff are very friendly and serve you quickly

Visited here for a quick bite to eat on a Tuesday night. The decor could be doing with a bit of updating but apart from that great value for money. It was steak night when we were in, two steaks with two drinks for under £15, steaks cooked just how we asked and add a couple of sauces and bowl of onion rings the bill was still under £20. Cant beat it for value for money. Service was quick and efficient also.

The vulcan has always been the place of choice to meet friends . Very relaxed and has a great selection of craft beers

Typical Wotherspoons. Can't complain . Menu good as long as their stock is good. Always a pleasant place if a little grubby at times

Came here for breakfast, guy serving was friendly, food was good and served quickly, great prices and all in it was good

Food was average. Serving/ bar staff were friendly and polite. Although as stated manager is a bit sour face didn't smile or even talk. Just brought our meals and dumped them down. It's ok for a quick bite to eat or a quick drink. Not the type of place I would choose as a special night out.

Well what can I say for a pub chain this food is always excellent. The staff are very attentive and helpful. Really like this Wetherspoons

Good prices and friendly atmosphere - well worth a visit both for at nights for a drink and especially in the mornings for the breakfast!!

Went in for a couple of drinks (alcopops for me) as we were celebrating two birthdays and an anniversary. We. Were out to fr drunk just sit so we could have a chat. We ordered 2 rounds but the two gents finished their beer before us so.went to have a last pint and were told by the rude barman we cant serve anymore drink as there is a child in the party. I fully appreciate that liciencing laws or JD Wetherspoons rules may say this after the assistant manager explained. But should you not let your customers know this on ordering their first drink it doesn't have to be rude but would let the customer know and spare them the embarrassment of being told we are not serving you in front of a busy bar. We asked were these rules were displayed to be told they were behind the bar were no one can see them. Maybe placing them somewhere customers can see tthe may help with any future confusion. Apart from that the pub is OK the rest of the staff were attentive and polite and prices are great also. Not sure when ill next return

we went on a Tuesday night as it was steak night good value for money only thing we found wrong was the flies were everywhere the meal itself was very nice and good all round service

Popped in for a bite to eat at the vulcan,and was i surprised this bar is very much run down ,the furniture is not modern and with chairs and tables that don't match and not to comfy to sit in.this bar needs to update the furniture and decor,we did not like the vulcan and left not to return until it gets a bit modern.

i go to wetherspoons quite often and always get served by a guy called colin this guy is superb he always remembers what i drink and always polite and friendly he is an assett to ur company well done xx

This place is let down by the the new manager they have employed. He has no people skills whatever. No eye contact when he's serving you at the bar, no smile, no how are you? He speaks or rather talks down to the other staff members (other staff members are excellent)in front you. This is obviously his first management position and it clearly shows. This place is needing a total revamp, rickety chairs that don't match, and the soft chairs in this place are disgustingly filthy, tables are so old. Please please give this place a much needed refurbishment and get rid of the no people skills manager he lets this place down.

My son and I popped in for lunch earlier today. Waited 15 mins yo speak to a waitress on how we order (at the bar); ordered food and as s vegetarian there was select items that I found order. I ordered the 5 bean Dorritos but told out of stock so it was the big standard vegi meal of all time, macaroni (try again).Food came on a dirty table that was not cleaned, on a dirty plate and tasted like packet macaroni. Rotten. Don't eat here. Disgusting.
