Leffe Blonde .AVOID !!! it's FAR FAR from both the same beer served at other Spoons pubs ( been to 5 others whilst driving around the North) .I KNOW I TASTED ..I also had a Belgium home for 12 years the place where this beer was created. £5.08 a pint ( £5.72 the night before in Durham£5.67 in Barrow). THIS PUB ..ONLY ONE that finishes the 5 inch high glass with 1 inch of foamy head. Chicken Tikka was smaller with 7 bits of chicken..My wife had to return her meal served up warm to cold .After leaving saw many other bars serving cheaper beer. AVOID .as standards are lower and prices have gone up .

Very poor service waited 25 minutes for our order only to be told when I complained that they had run out on the beer I ordered. Didn't bother to tell me or deliver the soft drink that was part of the order!!! We walked out.

A great find given the high prices in the UK.

We didn't have any food, only popped in for a couple of drinks. Really nice spoons in the city center, great prices! Manager was friendly!

I went there with my children and a friend all though it was really busy it was nice the food was lovely and the staff were good.

Central to town shopping prices on alcohol Great 👍 never eaten in food looks basic 😐 you pay for what you get but alcohol 🍸 fab 👌

It's a wetherspoons, value for money drinks and food, clean and tidy and central.

Friendly service, food average at best. Place needs an overhaul and quickly.

fantastic Wetherspoons , nice and small and friendly staff and food was very nice too makes a nice change to get a decent Wetherspoon :)

Went in for dinner twice plus drinks and one breakfast. Was not disappointed. You know Wetherspoons is doing something right when you go in at 6pm for dinner and the place is packed. Lovely food, amazing drinks menu and all excellent value.

Came into Welkin Liverpool 27th August 2024. I complained about the jacket potato I ordered, it was absolutely disgusting. The response I got from staff when I complained was diabolical. The coke I had was watered down too, I will never eat in any of these pubs again. I was told that the potato was edible and if the waiter sent it back to kitchen they would just send it back to me. I have read awful reviews and seems nothing is done about complaints. Waiters and waitresses need to have lessons in politeness here were so rude.

Asked for table to be cleaned multiple times and was met with a rude response. Staff more bothered about cleaning toilets than tables.

Cheap but over stimulating atmosphere not really a fan stopped off here to wait for a train

5 stars, period. Good food, nice people, and unbelievable value for money. Standard place I go when I visit the area. Every time, (almost) every day.

Wetherspoons, does what it says on the tin

City centre 'spoons. Not a lot of character, but a cheap, decent selection of ale.

Great place Staff were friendly and efficient no matter what time you asked for service

Typical wetherspoons, cheap food and drink in a handy location. Friendly staff are very helpful 🙂

Before starting a week's holiday in the beautiful Spanish city of Seville my twin brother and I decided to have a day out in Liverpool City Centre visiting some of the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, the first pub we visited was The Welkin Pub. This is a great Wetherspoon pub, its set over two floors, great looking serving bar's on both floors, typical Wetherspoon decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling streets that make up the Cavern Quarter of Liverpool. We got here about 9am, even at this time the pub was busy with a good atmosphere, we opted for the unlimited tea and coffee option, we luckily managed to get an alcove table upstairs were we enjoyed tea's,coffee's and hot chocolate's ,it was really good planning out the day ahead while enjoying our hot drinks, couldn't fault anything about our visit here, can't wait to go again next time we're in Liverpool City Centre after our week's holiday in Seville. The Welkin Pub is easy to locate along Whitechapel in the famous Cavern Quarter district of Liverpool. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 8am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Didn't eat this time, but I love it here!

One of those hidden gems of the city centre.

Top value food and super cheap guinness 0.0 prices. The locals are lovely and there is no karaoke which is a real rarity in Liverpool these days, so you can avoid hearing the screeching sounds of great songs being murdered by semi comatose stag/hen/just released from prison parties, which is the soundtrack for the rest of Liverpool City centre.

Popped into The Welkin for a drink before going to the Cavern club whilst on a weekend break. It’s situated around the corner from the Cabern club and in the centre of the shopping area of Liverpool. In a way it’s much like many other spoons I’ve been in but the difference is the staff. The place was spotless and as soon as someone left the table was cleared and cleaned. No big piles on one table like you see in many. Food seemed to be being served in a good timeframe. Would be a good place to have a few drinks before a show or gig.

Good Wetherspoons, food was served quickly although the burger was on the small side. Plenty of seating and a good choice of food and drinks.

Fast table service for food and beer

What you expect very quick service even when busy.

Never call in here again disgusting food pap er thin garlic bread Smirnoff vodka ( suppose have been ) mixed with tap diet pepsi was like drinking thick honey I couldn't drink it horrible

It's a spoons, comfortable cheap drinks.

Excellent breakfast for the price

Quick service. But of an odd layout. Gets very busy at weekends.

Half decent food and drink at reasonable prices

Good quality was ok. Food portion was good for the price with very cozy atmosphere. Unlimited refill. Can sit there in a nice cozy restaurant for hours.

Great place to eat, been many times, always popular.

Great place to eat and drink. Good choice of meals and drinks. Service was quick.

Lovely food difficultly in getting seat tho

Standard weatherspoons. Cheapest place for a pint in central Liverpool. Bit scruffy. Coffee not recommended.

Easy going pub central to everything in Liverpool city centre

Least favourite of the spoons in town , always busy struggle to get a table at times.

As 🥄 go , it's an excellent one 👌

Sraff and fustomers were really friendly.

Good atmosphere, very busy called in for a morning coffee. I was very lucky to get a seat at the weekend.

Very busy spoons in the heart of beatles land, lots of people in and out, we used the app and it was quick service, take wetwipes with you as ta les are mucky...

I went to nearby Flanagan's Apple on Mathew Street on Sunday, where I had a perfect Irish/English traditional breakfast. I wanted to go there again this morning, but it was closed for breakfast due to kitchen issues. I reluctantly went around the corner to another pub, Wetherspoon, which was more modern but without character, and leagues lower in quality, thus extremely unsatisfying, like we were sent to prison instead of a restaurant. Everything was overcooked and tasteless, and they offered only the most pedestrian white bread. There's no service to speak of, though the people who work here are friendly.

Up,out and about on a beautiful sunny July morning, my twin brother and I decided to jump the train down from Kirkby to Liverpool City Centre to visit some of the great pubs our city is justifiably famous for, one of the first pubs we visited was The Welkin Pub. This is a big city centre Wetherspoon pub,interior is superb, set over two floors, a serving bar on both floors,typical Wetherspoon decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside, its just a great pub to unwind in. We ordered a breakfast each and the unlimited tea and coffee offer ,coffee was superb and quite a big choice,cappuccinos was delicious ,after a short wait and breakfasts arrived and what a treat,eggs,bacon ,sausage, hash browns,beans ,tomato and mushroom served with toast ,a perfect start to our day out . We really enjoyed our breakfasts and coffee's in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to The Welkin Pub we had a great time. The Welkin Pub is easy to locate along Whitechapel. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, 8am till 11.30pm. Friday & Saturday, 8am till 1am. Sunday, 8am till 11.30pm. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Ordered two large breakfasts. Service was quick but the food was all cold. Pepsi was flat.

Busy pub with beers at 1.99 Just stayed for one whilst shopping.

Basic fish and chips. Few seats, it was open late.

I visit Liverpool every Friday and I always call in to the Welkin either for breakfast or a couple of bottles of Desperado. The Welkin is a fantastic place to visit. The breakfasts are served hot and fast and are very good value. I always order a couple of Desperado and they are always ice cold which is not always the case everywhere! Another great point about this Wetherspoons is the staff. The manager is called John and he is exceptional. His manner in dealing with customers and staff is so professional. The staff are highly motivated and happy which creates a nice atmosphere for customers. I could not speak more highly of the Welkin, John and the lovely staff.

Been in quite a few times to take advantage of the guest ales being so cheap, usually dealt with Lindsay (sorry, unsure on spelling) who is always very receptive and attentive without being false or overbearing, very refreshing and a standout experience compared to other Wetherspoons branches in the city whenever I decide to come in for a tipple. If you like your craft like me, they only have a few at a time, but the pull is good and stock rotates every couple days. They won't be beaten on price anywhere in Merseyside to my knowledge and division into halves or thirds are no extra cost to you. Cheers!

My friends loved there food. The accessible toilet is ok.

Not my favourite Spoons. If you go, I'd recommend sitting upstairs, it seems cleaner. Downstairs is messy. The toilets are clean. The staff seemed moody. I was polite and asked where the toilets were, I got an arsey response as if I should know when I couldn't see any signs. The food was HOT, fab. However, our drinks tasted like they had forgot to put the alcohol in... we were disappointed. I'd rather have lukewarm food and the drinks right haha, you don't go to Spoons for the perfect meal but you do usually go for the drink to be right.

Nice couple of hours spent sat here in the sun

DISGUSTING ... Was second customer in for breakfast as soon as they opened. Wish I never bothered. Food was on my table before I poured my coffee & the only thing slightly warm was sausage. NO WONDER WETHERSPOON ARE GETTING A BAD REPUTATION FOR CHEAP & NASTY

Had lemon & herb chicken with chips and free drink excellent 👌 and good price ... I prepare eating on the 1st floor much more quiet than ground floor

Good little spot for pre drinks or a more chilled night out, cheap drinks per usual so what’s not to like? It’s a spoons.

Upstairs best downstairs looks like it's to busy

Very slow service unfortunately

Breakfast arrived slower than usual. Half of the food was cold. Prices have dramatically increased over the years. Too expensive for what you get now.

It's a typical wetherspoons. A little run down, but great central location. I've noticed food prices have gone up, but this is not a huge surprise. There was some unexpected but we'll received good customer service from the server. Despite visiting at the weekend at lunch time, there were a few spare tables available which was great.

Perfect place for lunch when visiting Liverpool

Good quick service considering how busy it was

In the heart of Liverpool. Down from the caven.

Went several times. It is usually quite empty in the evening, and was very busy on the Friday lunchtime of the bank holiday weekend that I went. Always lovely service.

Excellent food fayre that gives good quality and value for those frequenting it. Went for breakfast and between all the dishes we got for nine of us there wasn’t one bad one. From large veggie breaky to eggs Benedict the food was good and cooked perfectly. Staff were courteous and efficient and really wanted to help which in this day and age of often mediocre service was quite refreshing. So if your after exceptional value and good quality and want to feel that you have had a great breakfast the look no further than this place.

Called in twice for cooked brekky during our 5 day city stay.Usual spoons grub,cooked well,coffee refills free.Plenty of tables up and down stairs.Gladly use again as staff friendly and quick to serve.

Was a decent pub, most of the staff are welcoming apart from the area manager who selected who he wanted to serve (mainly friends) despite being stood there for a little he decided to serve his friend who had just walked up behind us.

Central location on edge of Cavern Quarter. Visited a couple of times during our stay in Liverpool. Had early afternoon drinks and snacks both times. Good atmosphere. What can I say? Typical Wetherspoons.

Full of kids.. carling £4.19 won't be back

Good place for food whilst out shopping in Liverpool, good atmosphere, quick.and very friendly service, food was good with plenty of coffee you can keep replenishing

It's a classic Weathspoons, great breakfast. Eat and go

I love weatherspoon it’s my best place

Fish and chips good. Grilled Halloumi not great

Hot food well prepared, Good prices of selection of all drinks , friendly staff . only slight issue , no toilet facilities on ground floor . Always visit when shopping in Liverpool. Definitely visit again .

Table didn't get wiped before meal. Food arrived quickly.

Quick red wine before bus to Chester.

Nice place to go good food pleasant staff

Exactly what we wanted. A quick bite to eat before heading back out. You know what to expect when going to a weatherapoons and it was exactly that. Clean. Friendly staff.

The Welkin is a cozy restaurant with plenty of space, and where you can also sit upstairs with nice cozy corners and seats. There is an extensive menu choice and extremely friendly service. Things work a little differently here than in Holland. Here you order at the bar, after you have provided your table number, your menu and drinks... and then you wait at your table until it is brought. We ate here twice in the 4 days we stayed in Liverpool. Super. And not too expensive 😊

Was slightly disappointed this time round. We ordered through the app and the food and drink arrived very quickly. Unfortunately the burgers my wife and I ordered were not very warm at all. Usually can't fault the food here but left feeling let down on this occasion.

A typical Wetherspoon pub Descent food and drink.

Popped in for few, busy but served quickly, friendly staff

top class, Food and drink at a reasonable price. staff do a great job.

Beware gets very busy between 12pm and 2pm

6th Apr 24. Very busy, Sat up stairs. Placed orders at our table using their app. Didn't wait long for our drinks or food to arrive. Very nice sourdough pizzas.

Food was just about hot enough, only just! Only ONE real ale available out of five. Return later, ordered 'two for £12' cocktails.....no straws available. If this was a school report they'd get a 'D'..... Must try harder!

Well into a Wetherspoon's for dinner. The only real ale on is Ruddles best. Like it or go somewhere else. No explanation.

Great cocktails, great music, friendly staff 👌

Always busy but food was served very quickly. Staff were very happy and efficient. Food was good.

Nice location, plenty space inside. Was able to sit for a while and charge my phone before a flight.

I like the food very much, but I would like apples in fresh fruits, in the breakfast menu, cuted in cubes, thank you!
