The William Adams - JD Wetherspoon in Great Yarmouth

Better than its sister pub in Great Yarmouth but service can be more than variable at times. Only one person serving at the bar is not good enough. Most of the staff are friendly and talkative but a few could do with lessons in customer service and not trying to be sarcastic. Some of the clientele can be obnoxious and aggressive. Ale quality could be better and they could do with more of the darker real ales.

They have left handed cups. Simply brilliant. So many businesses could learn from weatherspoons. Great value, clean loos, well trained staff.

Rude staff that's why I don't go they r just pissy.when I was talking to my friend about my autism so them be slimey to me and laugh .then he came over and pretended to be a nice person.he was a girly bloke needs to man up

Always really good food, very clean and quick service. One of the best Spoons I have been to.

Great selection of beers and wines friendly staff and a great atmosphere and a great breakfast for the price 👍

Service is terrible always waiting to get served 🙄

Food you get what u pay for although do love a chicken bite! Along side a mango monster mash 😋, service is pretty good too

Spicy meat feast was a shadow of its former self with hardly any toppings. The drinks have dropped in alcahol content and don't ask me about the last 3 steaks we have ordered .We have been loyal since this was a newbuild but going for shrinkflation Mr Wetherspoon is starting to irritate plus prices rising very regularly !

Don't even let tiny dogs sit outside on their cheap tatty chairs. The manager didn't have the bottle to tell us himself, so he sent a bar wench to do his dirty work.

Great place to pass the time away and really cheap prices for drinks, very friendly.

Easy to order using the app. Clean and bright interior. Not too busy on a Monday evening.

Busy and crowded, no parking, parking at a local carpark

Nice Wetherspoons, and much quieter than it's near neighbour in Great Yarmouth. Good real ales and food was good.

It's a spoons you know what you are getting... Food food and long walks to the toilet

We only called in for a soft drink as a pit stop, the pub looked clean enough as did the toilets

Been going to the quiz on Sundays. That’s now stopped, disappointing.

Great new Wetherspoons good great friendly staff great atmosphere.

Food was really nice and value for money. Venue has a good service at the bar for ordering drink and food.. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Popped in with a friend for fish n chips and a pint. We didnt have to wait very long for our meals. The presentation was good. It looks like the portion size is slowly getting smaller. But everything on our plates tasted as expected. It wasnt too busy and not too noisy for a midday visit. Its quicker to order by the app..To avoid waiting your turn at the bar. However if you have cash or gift vouches going to the bar and ordering is your only option

Still excellent food and quick service

Disgusted with the treatment my daughter and her friends received today. They have been in to The William Addams and The Joseph Conrad many many times with no issues at all. Today however, after arriving from taking a bus from Lowestoft to gorleston to dine as a group in the William Addams for one of the girls birthdays, they were told to leave after not being able to provide proof of age (16). One of the girls had a copy of her passport in her phone but it was cast aside. The girls were made to feel embarrassed as attention was drawn to them on this matter. I phoned the establishment minutes after they were told to leave and spoke to a manager who claims this is their policy. Not everyone has a passport , and very few 16yr olds have a provisional license which is what the staff were asking to see. After trailing through the website , I’m even more angry to now read this #Quote from Wetherspoons website# * Families are welcome to dine in the majority of our pubs; however, permitted hours for customers aged under 18 years may vary from pub to pub. During these permitted hours, 16-and 17-year-olds (with the exception of some pubs in Scotland) are welcome to visit, without adult supervision, for food and soft drinks only.

Chip were straight out of the fryer. Tried the meat free burger. I enjoyed it. They've added more to the menu. Pub is popular with all walks of life. Was very busy, which didn't effect the service. Even got a thankyou by a server as we left. So top marks for that. Yes it's not a top notch restaurant. But comparing it to lowestoft and Norwich spoons. This one can teach them how to do it properly!

I would like to congratulate the William Adams on coming in the top ten Wetherspoons pubs I am not surprised as Dan and his team have run one of the most welcoming Spoons I have ever used. They are a very community conscious establishment helping with young people versus cancer charity They have also had one of our Defibrillators fitted to the outside of the pub supplied by Heart 2 Heart run By my boss Jayne Biggs. Keep up the great work Dan , Matt Melissa Robert Roxanne Luck and too many to name especially Sharon Jarmey. Who is a little diamond Thank you All for a great pint and good food Ian Grant

Well presented venue with the usual wide range of nice food and drinks. Good service and good atmosphere

A superior Weatherspoon's pub. All the staff were very good (unfortunately I cannot say that about all Weatherspoon's). The beer garden / smoking area is exceptionally good.

As Spoon go this is one of the best ones visited. It certainly knocks spots off the JC in Lowestoft. Outdoor area is very pleasant too.

Lovely well priced food and drink. Nice helpful staff.

Great salad chicken and bacon meal, lashings of mayonnaise and a j2o, thank you.

Had to buy my child a sandwich across the road as they can't cater for coeliacs here. A member of staff told my 12 year old she couldn't eat it on the premises yet we bought drinks and meals for others in the party. Absolutely disgusting. They offer no GF safe foods here. I hope management at wetherspoons see this.... please cater for people with life threatening allergies like my daughter instead of belittling us in front of the whole pub. Felt highly embarrassed, you've offended and upset my child and won't be eating here again!

Never enough staff. You might as well brew it yourself. It would be quicker!!!! Oh, and favouritism towards friends of the staff!!!!

Visit April 1st . Lovely breakfast hot and tasty. Staff v friendly with two asking if everything ok . Pub spotless and lovely atmosphere from families to retirees. Strongly recommended

As always in a spoons food was served quickly and was very nice however it's a little cramped in there with so many tables.

Very good but had to wait to get a drinl

What I like most about the Wetherspoons pub is the interesting buildings they use which gives each a unique feel. Food is consistent quality and whilst not gourmet is very tasty, like the pizza I had. You are able to keep the table as long as you wish, just the place for a good catch up with friends.

It's a Wetherspoons so the usual selection of beers and good bottle options with the usual fried,grilled,boil-in-the-bag food but with a canteen feel

Nice place, good food and prices still best 👌 👍

Nice Spoons pub with free WiFi. Especially nice today as it was the start of their beer festival

Amazing place to go with family

Great pub , friendly and keen prices

Food was hot & very tasty. Prompt service.

The best Weatherspoons around out area by far, great place and good atmosphere 👍

Brilliant service especially from waiting staff.

Friendly staff, large areas nice 👏

Cosy ambience, nice staff. Absolutely recommend.

Great pub on the High St in Gorleston, food lovely, staff helpful & polite 😀

Usual Wetherspoons Fayre but the atmosphere was really good. We sat towards the back of the venue with loads of sunlight beaming through the windows. Service was great. We didn't feel rushed at all. The food was hot and good. In fact I struggled to eat all mine as there was plenty on the plate of half chicken with lemon and herbs plus chips 😋

A great wetherspoon highstreet pub selling great meals at reasonable prices well cooked food and pleasant service. Well done all

We have been there many times and i would have given it 4 to 5 stars but this time i think we made a few mistakes, we went later in the day which meant some ofthe food felt like it hade been under the lamps too long. The potatoes and yorkshires were dry. We sat near to the exit of the play area, so we had screaming kids running back an forth. I also witnessed a disagreement between a man in a suit, manager?, and a waitress who then took it out on the other waitresses.

This is one of the best Wetherspoons in the country Great staff good food and of course great drinks ( I have never had a bad pint) Dan runs a great pub and all the staff are friendly 👌 and on top of their game So many great staff members I don't want to single anyone out except Sharon Great team good place and always welcome The best 👌 👍 😍 Oh and congratulations Sir Tim You deserve a knighthood for all the beautiful buildings you have saved Every one have a fantastic New Year Xxxx

Great food staff and quick service. 👌

Food not what expected manager had dreadful confrontational attitude no customer skills caused a problem which could have easily been avoided

One of the nicest spoons I've been in. Clean, busy, fast service, good local beers and friendly staff. Two years later, still the same 👍

The typical Wetherspoons experience, excellent.

Decent food at a decent price. Had the turkey dinner here with some sides. No major complaints but the stuffing tastes a bit odd. The service was decent but bar seems to take ages and sometimes food arrives before drinks. You can order on their app, but signal isn't great here so you could use their WiFi. Decent Christmas options but I don't understand why everywhere has gone for cheese this Christmas. Bit boring. Side note, small plates used to be 3 for £10, now it is 3 for £15!

Usual spoons situated in the high street. Great chouce of ales etc.

We come here quite regularly, always enjoy visiting.

A typical Wetherspoons with fast service and a value for money meal. Most meals come with a drink so great for small budgets. Also a few boards of historical information on why the name William Adam, who he was and what he meant to the local community. Good location on the high street also.

Ordered 2 steaks. They were full of gristle and inedible. We told the waitress and she said “I know, all are steaks are coming up like that” honestly, why serve them. Can’t fault the rest of the menu. I emailed the head office and was offered ‘good will gesture’ of £3 each. I told them to keep it. No real apology. Won’t be going again.

Popped in here after work for a quiet pint and a pizza, food and beer were excellent, the team and manager were fabulous dealing with a rather inebriated female customer who was quite the challenge in a very professional and calm manner, well done team 👍

Original menu showed steak and kidney pudding and lamb shank neither was available, bog standard pub food staff were very helpful 👌

Very busy but nice food and very quick service

I ordered mix grill,only sauage and veg can eat.the other meat are too dry.

Great food,staff friendly,good value

Clean, well maintained and friendly staff.. 👌

Very busy ,well used pub ,had trouble finding a seat ,good for Tim Martin ,successful Buisness

Nice spot on Gorleston high street

Lovely place in a lovely situation, very pleased.

Nice big pub, good seating areas and service

Went in for breakfast as usual fast efficient & superbly cooked oh & friendly staff

It's ok we will be there again 👍.

Having been used to my local Hertford branch(check reviews and your know what I mean) after a long drive this is just what I needed, staff friendly and polite, breakfast was well presented and cooked to a high standard, and even the toilets clean and presentable. Any chance you could move to the Hertford branch chef ?

Standard weatherspoons pub breakfast was nice, staff were nice and polite.

Had a lovely breakfast.served in a matter of minutes. Good service. Only one thing warm plates before service

Just your classic, beautiful, cheap and usual spoons ❤️

Problem with most pubs is staff not clearing tables or wiping them down often. Sticky tables. And again like most 'spoons' having the toilets upstairs.

If I could give no stars I would...absolutely shocking service. Men sniffing cocaine in beer garden and male toilets, staff discriminating my autistic son for laying down on the floor (in the corner, out the way) worse pub experience ever and police should definitely investigate the drug use expecially with children around

Friendly staff and quick service

Not the best fish but chips ok. Should have got bottle of budweiser as didn't enjoy the draft.

Sociable cheap drin ks places to sit. Perfect.

Unfortunately I didn't get to try the food. Me and my family along with our family dog sat outside, just about to order food on the app when the shift leader came out and told us to leave because of our dog, who was tucked under the table laid on the floor. We questioned the manager who was very rude and was walking away as we were speaking to him. I asked for his name because he was so rude. He wouldn't give his name kept saying he was shift leader and I can report him to whoever I like. His attitude was disgusting. Iv been to many weatherspoons up and down the country and never been told to leave. My dog is not dangerous she is very old and wanted to rest. If I could give it 0 I would

What you would expect from a weatherspoons.

fair enough no under 18s after 9 but we got there at 830 with the 8 year old then they let us order but yet wanted us out yet let us spend the £60 first!! The food was absolutely disgusting when i say disgusting was nasty the only good thing about the pub was the poor waitress who had to come over and i’d my daughter after she ordered her own drink at the bar luckily she had her i’d absolute shambles we only went there as we are on holiday and didn’t know any better avoid

Never got to order food due to the shift manager absolutely disgusting manorisom, he needs some lessons on how to speak to his customer's, I would name and shame him but he wouldn't give us his name

Had arranged to meet friends there but arrived a little late. I went to get a drink but despite there being 5 staff behind the bar and only 3 people requiring service after 15 minutes neither I nor the people who arrived while I was waiting were served despite being told it would only be 2 minutes. As my friends had managed to leisurely drink their pints in that time I and one or two others waiting decided to leave and get a drink at the Green Bear across the road. Shocking lack of service. Never again.

We needed something quick and simple and that's what we got

Nice pub with indoor and outdoor seated areas, looking forward to our next visit.

Although very busy and difficult to get a table the service was excellent and the food hot and very good.

Very busy place, quick service, and friendly staff

Breakfast wasn't nice. Beans and bacon were cold, and wetherspoons standards are slipping.

It's,a spoons it is what it is

Food was great. Excellent service by friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Whole place set out well. Well worth a visit.

A lovely family weatherspoons. Got speaking with a family who'd come here twice in a week while on holiday.

Nice set out Wetherspoons. Typical price for beer. Unfortunately, I didn't eat here , but we'll be worth a look if you're in town

Años viajando a Inglaterra y nunca había entrado en un pub de la cadena Wheterspoon. Buen ambiente, la comida está bien y los precios magníficos. Muy recomendable.

Just went with friends for a drinks.Nice pub,good prices.

Dirty no clean table food very average

We called at Gorleston Weatherspoons for our lunch yesterday and enjoyed a really nice meal and couple of pints of cold Coors infact it was great, and the service was excellent.

Food competitively priced, get what you pay for ideal for a quick tea

Got barred for NO APPARENT REASON.

Best breakfast in town unlimited coffee and great prices on food. The bartenders are great 👍 Wish I knew about this place sooner! We leave tomorrow - tempted to extend my stay just to get more food here 🤣 A++
