The William Jameson in Sunderland

The place, food and staff were nice. Easy to find and access

Typical Wetherspoons, cheap and fairly cheerful.

Seamed to be a massive struggle trying to buy a gift card for mothers day! The card is supposed to attached to a card stating its value ect. This was snatched off me, I had to beg the girl to hand it over to me. She also didn't give me a receipt, i had to call the manager from outside the venue. In other words useless!!!

Cheap and cheerful as usual. Our prematch choice. The Lads won too, so we had a great night.

Jamesons Weatherspoons drinks cheap, staff great, easy to have a conversation

Just called in for a couple of pints prior to the Sunderland v Hull City game , very busy and a good atmosphere , home and away fans mixing well , got served relatively easy , did not eat as we were restricted timewise but looking around plenty of others did and most plates were clean .

Basically a zoo; if you want to witness a husband and wife who are first cousins having a stand up domestic, or if you’d like to marvel at a man with the world’s reddest face, or you’d enjoy the spectacle of an obese teenager vomiting blue cocktail through her nose, this is your place. In common with most Wetherspoons, the speed of service is glacial, and the locals break tradition with the fact that we’ve been standing at bars for centuries, and form a queue like it’s a Post Office.

Cheap larger beer etc im not fussed on there food its cheap though as is there coffee tea etc you get some reet characters in there we see a few locals in there especially older people and we speak they all say the same thing they go there as its cheap for food etc but its more for the company interaction with others they are lonely. So if passing and fancy just a cuppa pop in they refill your cup aswell for 1 quid all day you can get a meal and a drink for under a fiver different specails on different days thursday is curry day , and if you fancy a pint 5 quid coppers for 2 pints whats not to love

Very busy do get there early if you want a seat for breakfast, especially if the local football team are at some

Had breakfast in here today 12/02/2025 service was not good I asked for breakfast told her my table number I asked for all day break x2 pint of carling NOT COKE I DID NOT SAY COKE cup for coffee I had to pay twice for my order when she should of listened in the 1st place I was fuming then she had the cheek to say for sorry for mixup yet I still has to pay for the cokes I did not ask for in 1st place cost me more than it should of done. BREAKFAST was horrible bacon was under cooked egg was over cooked sausage had nasty taste beans was cold only thing that was nice on my plate was the toast. I won't be going back shyte

This was a superb pub for drinking, with a stylish red and white colour scheme furthered by the accompanying lights! The pillars in the middle and book shelves on the sides are interesting features, counter is well-presented itself. Staff were friendly, who served me a Stowford Press and the area was kept very clean!

The best in England just so fab

Food was good, service was good.

Pitchers were nice and plentiful!!

Cheap and Cheerful, always amazing service too

One of my favourite Wetherspoons pubs. Been going there since it opened in 1997. Still keep going back.

Packed as usual great night with friends great prices food brilliant

Not the best food. But friendly staff

Bacon sandwich was very enjoyable

la comida era asquerosa y el gerente era muy grosero y abrupto un miembro del personal dijo que Leanne era más para sí que clientes o colegas

Food was very good curry was great granddaughter treat

Nice Wetherspoons right in the centre of town.

Several times now my order has been taken wrong and the food arrived without the extras that had been paid for. On the last occasion I ordered 2 mushrooms with my breakfast for an extra 93p and they only put one. Then they made me go to the bar to pay again separately for the black pudding they missed off the order. Food used to come hot but I have noticed over the last 6 months having to repeatedly return the orders as it was only luke warm. My suggestion is to always ask for a receipt, then you can verify that they have in fact got your order correct (or incorrect as the case may be).

Went on an afternoon, staff were lovely, we over ordered so passed bits to a nearby table as food arrived. Food was piping hot.

Typical spoons pub, always a decent pint.

Food great, very fast ,table served.

Very busy place. Service was very good. Place is kid friendly with a good choice of food and drink for them. Staff friendly.

Is what it is, nice food great beer and brilliant staff

First time in there and made many new friends *****

Come here quite often the beer and larger good prices many guest beers .food good and freshly cooked and served hot try it you will not dissopointed at these prices

Super tasty food, quick service and a generally nice experience. Would definitely come back again

Great food pleasant friendly staff

Dirty tables dirty glasses on our table off other people

Good food, great atmosphere, super staff - al always the same. Thanks

You can't go wrong with a cheap breakfast and a cuppa. As many hot drinks as you can drink for 99p small breakfast for just over £2 now that's what I call a bargain.

Visited this place about a week ago and ordered drinks to the table, I watched them do the drinks then they were put on the bar to be brought to our table, the drinks were there for around 15 to 20 minutes and were never brought to the table so I went and grabbed them myself. Quite poor service, but to say it was mid week Wednesday and through the day, too. But not a bad pub overall. Just go to the bar if you want drinks quicker, which is my advice. It may not be like that all the time, and they could have been short staffed.

Always good place for quick stop while in town, reasonably priced food and drinks

I didn't have food, but I have had breakfast in the past and it was always good

Always my favourite of the two Wetherspoons in Sunderland. Fast efficient Wetherspoons. Great guest real ciders too! Saturday September 24th comment - Really impressed with the staff and manager who did their best to find me cold Aspall ciders today. Full marks team. That was service above and beyond, all deserve a pay rise from their boss Tim!! Well done!! Always polite service.

Nice, but could do with cleaning tables more frequently, but staff very nice and it is busy. .good selection of bottled beers. Breakfast always good value

It's weatherspoons there litterlly all the same cheap drink cheap food but that doesn't mean it's bad just a great place to get fuel before your night put 😉

Brilliant place. The breakfast is brilliant and the cheapest around tbh, but regardless of price, the quality is excellent.

Fantastic service. Interea could do with an update. the downside side is on bingo days. There are a lot of tables reserved for bingo

Drink prices really cheap, staff ok and quick to serve.

Cheap and cheerful which is what you want. Can get very busy at lunchtimes but the food is worth the wait. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

The William Jameson is a gem of a pub in a vibrant neighborhood. Friendly staff, great food, and a wide drink selection make it a must-visit spot. Affordable prices add to the appeal. Highly recommended!

good place to relax, but there is no sky.

Food was nice. Service was fast and friendly atmosphere was pretty dank probably should of went on a match day morning.

This place is in absolute need of a full revamp, it feels very shabby and rundown! I don't understand why so much money was spent on the "cooper rose" and not a penny on this place, when it desperately needs updating!! Drink and food prices are getting more expensive too. Staff could also do with being more polite and respectful to customers.

Staff member was incredibly rude for no reason at all. We ordered a drink but she came over saying we couldn't have that and asked what we wanted instead. We said we would have a think about it which is acceptable but she wasn't happy. She stormed off before I could ask her a question. I got up to speak to her and she was incredibly rude and defensive. All I wanted to know was if I would be getting a refund since I had been charged for 2 drinks we weren't getting. She was really nasty and didn't answer me properly but I finally managed to get an answer but I later found out she had no intention to refund me even though she said she would. She came back shortly afterwards and aggressively asked us what we wanted, we said we still weren't sure which made her make an embarrassing childish performance. She flung her body around and shook her head while making disapproving sounds then after walking a bit she turned around and glared at us. I don't understand why she lied to us about refunding us and them demanded us to buy bottle drinks instead of what she wanted. She was really pushing those bottles onto us. It was a very strange experience. That woman has some serious issues. You shouldn't take you're problems out on innocent customers.

my local spoons.. bit run down now and could do with a referb.. toilets are poor at best. a lot of the local winos and druggies get in. food we had was good and always a good selection of real ales

Cheap enough shame about the area

Ordered scrambled egg and toast with a side of mushrooms today, took its time and I received it cold. Egg looked overcooked and wasn’t prepared to try it.

I used to enjoy the food in jamesons, bit lately I've found it's not as nice to what it used to be!! The other night, I ordered two chicken and bacon melts for me and my bloke, his chicken was freezing cold in the middle while mine was just say warm with rubbery uncooked bacon covered over with cheese. I won't be ordering food from there anytime soon...

Went for a breakfast can't fault the price with unlimited coffee

Amazing prices and really nice staff. Was pact early in the morning and couldn't find anywhere to sit but a stranger kindly let me sit with them.

Terrible experience here. Food had to be sent back then had to wait extra 20 minutes for that to come back out. When it did was all fatty could only eat half of it. " Warm" Deserts came out stone cold, no attempt to even warm them up. Coffee cold also. Just avoid this place Very Diassapointed waste of money really. Management must be shocking here.

Drinks very affordable breakfast was OK jus a bit cold

Lovely building, friendly staff, cheap food and beer. Cant say no more really, all you need for a decent price.

Quick pint while waiting for a bus, all the usual wetherspoons things and downstairs toilets

A very good place to relax, forget sorrow and enjoy.

I loved the atmosphere, one could comfortably hangout with friends. I especially enjoyed the chips with curry sauce.

Can’t fault the place cheap and cheerful and very clean 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Spacious clean public house on main street good food at reasonable prices great friendly staff

Not bad for a spoons! Shout out to all the Sunderland fans who were very welcoming.

Cheap spoons beer, can't fault it.

Has its followers so is very popular. Very busy at times so was great place to wait for a bus. Not eaten there but apparently reasonable.

Very slow service only 2 staff on bar

Ordered online and served very quickly

The food are delicious and I didn't wait long!

Gut und günstig Gehört zur wethersspoon kette Immer Gut

food v good family friendly great selection of beverages at a great price 👍

Was alright, drinks were cheap and staff friendly enough.

All microwave meals can't cook steaks to your liking properly

Food ok. Staff service not great

Town centre pub. Always busy. Great drinks and great food menu. Very good service and very pleasant and helpful staff. Lovely place to visit.

Good atmosphere for a match day

Rough and ready pub very friendly staff excellent value meal

I loved this place. Wonderful service

Great place to go to catch up with friends , family. Have a hot or cold drink. And a lovely meal .

Food rubbish,burger and chips more like a child's portion with half dozen cheap chips out of the freezer

We had a lovely meal, the food was tasty and no faults there really. There were a few tables that hadn't been cleared and we were unsure if we could sit there or not but it was quite busy so understand its hard to keep on top of it all. We had a couple people bring us over our things, someone brought us drinks and she seemed and bit fed up and put the drinks down and left a bit bluntly - it could have been a long day for her The other 2 people we had were lovely and helped us when we asked Overall it was a good experience, I know wetherspoons alter across the country, but this was up there with quality Thank you

Ordered fish batter was rock hard and hardly no fish in it

Our family's favourite Spoons for breakfast! Staff are great and we're never disappointed with our breakfasts.

Reasonable prices excellent service food not to bad.. quality sometimes questionable great choice of beers and lagers..

A very nice place to have a meal. Staff are friendly and the food is good.

A very good place to have a cheap meal. Good food and service was given. I would highly recommend you drop in some time soon.

Cheap pint good crowd for early pint

Boneless chicken basket is lovely

Desperately needs a revamp, looking shoddy

We didn't have any food this time,but it did look nice.We were in the Sunderland area for Mt daughters graduation at the stadium of light. The pub was quite busy and staff were nice and friendly. No complaints about the place. If we get to Sunderland again then we will certainly be visiting again

Fantastic food drinks and service would gladly recommend

You know what to expect from a wetherspoons. No thrills value for money food.. Good service and family friendly atmosphere

Great atmosphere, good food reasonably priced, plus cheap drinks.... well worth a visit to eat and drink....

Must be one of Wetherspoon's worst. Is very dark and looks very dirty Tables, dirty, wet and sticky. Tables uncleared. Piles of dirty dishes at kitchen access point. Staff pushing past you without an apology. Paintwork badly in need of attention. Looks run down. Loud adults shouting at each other, children making a row and babies screaming. Very poor breakfast. Plates so hot that eggs baked on to them, yolks solid. Bacon dry as though it had been standing for a while. Hash browns oozing oil. Very few barely warm beans. Will never return.

Popped in for a couple of afternoon drinks. No food ordered, so I can't comment on it. Though having been in several Wetherspoons I would imagine it being pretty much the same. Good food at a reasonable price. Not much in the way of atmosphere, just patrons having a quiet afternoon drink and/or some food., which was fine for us.

OK place. Food reasonable. Good for meeting friends here.

For that old skool feel with the murmur of conversation serving as music, you'll definitely love the place

Had a lovely curry there and a pint

It's a Wetherspoon's but not one of the better ones. Pretty awful to be honest.
