The William Withering in Telford and Wrekin

Consistently good experience. You cant beat a Spoons breakfast - fast and fantastic price.

Lily and Emily both deserve pay rises. Best bar staff ever!

It's a spoons, so you know what you're getting.... However, as a regular here (it's ok my doorstep 😉) I am consistently impressed with the quality of their food. I'd recommend their traditional breakfast - for the price, it's unbeatable.... Staff are attentive and friendly and I've always had great service from here. Atmosphere is ok, it's nearly always busy, so a popular venue any time of the day. They often have daily specials, so I occasionally pop in for a quick bite to eat when they have offers on.

A great feed at a great price. Had the large mixed grill and it was a good amount of food.

Staff nice, good hot food, fast service, very clean place

We've visited here a few times now food is OK and beer is OK it's a lot cheaper than my local pub but the beer isn't aa good but you can get 2 drinks here for the price of one at my local

Busy with good efficient service

Popped in here tonight for a quick pint and some food. Curry night. Long story cut short.... Her masalla was like water and the bread harder than granite. My naga chilli... Bread was the same and the chicken even harder than granite. Lesson learned eventually.... Had a refund and will never eat there again. Dreadful to say the least

Nice place for a cheap meal. And good priced drinks.

Korean chicken rice and Japanese ramen have been added to the menu. After trying it, the chicken rice is more delicious and the ramen noodles are of average quality.

1)The prices have gone up recently but with all the fuel & food prices increasing in the shops I'm not surprised. Good value compared to other places, usual Wetherspoons menu. My 6yr old grandson was very disappointed there wasn't any pizza on the menu (he's had it in another Wetherspoons in Telford). 2)Another visit here today & we both had the Quorn wraps with chips, very pleased with our food today. 3)Today's visit was just for a coffee with my husband. Great place to stop off for a break while shopping in Wellington. £1.25 for a hot drink with free refills - can't really go wrong 4) Yet another visit and today we both had Quorn wraps, one with a side of chips and one with a side salad. Good value and included our drinks - but don't expect many chips if you have it as a side order! 5) visited here this morning (13/07/24) for veggie breakfast, I ordered an extra grilled tomato as I can't eat baked beans for extra 52p, these I gave to my husband - breakfast was very nice but a little cool. CAN I SUGGEST WETHERSPOONS THAT YOU MAKE SURE ALL FOOD IS SERVED TO CUSTOMERS HOT and YOUR MENU INCLUDES AN ALTERNATIVE TO BAKED BEANS PLEASE..... 22/10/24 Today I ordered the breaded vegetable burger with chips, good burger just a shame it was overcooked hence giving 4*'s instead of 5. Overall happy with my meal. Disabled toilet was ok but really think the room needs to be updated also can't understand why it's never that clean when there's a chart on the back of the door with signatures on for regular checks and cleaning, this needs addressing.

We found this to be a very busy establishment when we arrived, hoping to have breakfast. Fortunately, there were a few seats available, and surprisingly found a table in a small booth. Although there were a couple of dirty cups on the table, these were quickly cleared away by a friendly member of staff. We ordered food and drinks via the app, which were delivered promptly by another happy and helpful member of staff. The food was well presented and enjoyable. We will definitely return to this Wetherspoons when in the area.

We called in for a late(ish) drink on a Sunday evening. The pub was quiet but the staff were lovely. So welcoming. The young man behind the bar was so polite and happy. The lady who bought our drinks to the table was really smiley and pleasant. They made it a lovely evening. Thank you. x

Haven't had food yer, will update when I do

Amazing value for money for a good range of well presented fast food.

Got drinks order and food order wrong , food was burnt & staff are very incompetent. Do not recommend

I like the atmosphere in this weatherspoons, it's situated perfectly on the high street. Lemon chicken is amazing and the deserts are mouth watering. Fantastic family dining on a budget - there was 7 of us we had mains, drinks & dessert and it was £82 for all of it.

Staff are very friendly & helpful. Warm & comfortable atmosphere & also very clean. Food is delicious & good value for money.

It was kind of a quiet atmosphere. No music. Food was satisfactory.

Excellent quality food. Very friendly young efficient staff. As a visitor to Telford, I was very interested in the information about William withering, and the old pictures of blist Hill, and the birth of the Industrial Revolution. It was one of the most informative weatherspoons I have been in. Excellent choice of real ales that i had not had before.

Not much atmosphere as far as a good pub goes average food, and the bar service is always slow as there's never enough staff on duty behind the bar.

Small cod chips and mushy peas was really good

Nice weatherspoons, quick bite & drink, in and out. Quick service, pleasant staff.

Just a typical wetherspoons but does the job.

A very good Wetherspoons, recommend.

Great pub the staff are always friendly and helpful

Used this venue for a meet up with friends. It's clean and comfortable with good priced food and drink z f has pleasant staff

Usually have a nice meal here but today my gammon was inedible.

The food was ok. The service was good and good price if u want a quick snack

We didn't have food there as we were only passing. We were sat outside, had been there for about 25 minutes, minding our own business, 4 of us had drinks. We had our two well-behaved dogs with us, and we're ready to leave in about 5 minutes when a member of staff came out. She was quite rude, actually. She told us they do not allow dogs, which we didn't realise and didn't see any signs. The dogs didn't harass any customers either. Won't be visiting again even without our dogs. The member of staff didn't even say it was ok to finish our drinks... No one was going to rush me.

Cost effective and need I say more .

Not the greatest pub I have even been too. I just struggle with the fact that our local Wetherspoons is grim, looks dirty, the mood lighting isn't great I actually think it makes it look grubby. The staff never look happy probably because they are are understaffed and overworked. However, it appeals to others. I went due to meeting friends here it would not have been my first (goto) choice of pub. I know its supposed to be a budget pub but that shouldn't impact on how grim it is. Been to a few other Wetherspoons when on holiday or in another town and they are always much cleaner and atmosphere is much better.

There is always a weird chemical taste to the burger buns. Like they have been put on a surface that has just been cleaned but not allowed to dry!

Lovely local, the staff are really friendly especially Verity and Stevie which make for a great atmosphere. My only downside is the trip to the loos up everest 🤣

Cool inside on a hot day staff explained issues with ,IT system and so cash only

It was raining all day 😞😞😞, food not so great for a family of 4 and a bit more expensive than expected.

Excellent services as normal ordered the chicken bites and the southern chicken strios, both arrived within 10 minutes and were hot and crunchy. The wine was nicely chilled and the stairway as normal was spot on. This is why we don't go anywhere else. Good food great service whag more can you ask fir

Everything is excellent, they just need to pay a little more attention to cleanliness.

Doctor William Withering was born in Wellington in 1741, he discovered and developed digitalis which is made from the dried leaves of the purple foxglove and used in the treatment of heart disease. With more than a hint of irony, Wellington now has this Wetherspoons pub named after him. Cheap alcohol and food a-plenty is now what THE William Withering is primarily known for. We were there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The building was full of people more than happy to sit inside listening to their coronary arteries slamming shut like fire doors in an inferno. The actual pub was pleasant enough and our lunchtime curries fitted the bill more than adequately. Tasty, well cooked and most importantly, hot. No artery slamming for us, but lots of bowel opening instead. The garlic certainly had a kick…

Not bad, nice inside. Clean, tidy and the loos at the back, all the way up the stairs. On the high st of a village, town,in Telford.

Unfortunately, a pivotal member of staff must have left this spoons. It USED to be great food, served very quickly and very nicely by the staff. Been in there thrice over the last couple of weeks. First time, the steak came without the pepper sauce. By the time it did get there the rest was eaten or it would have been cold. Went this Saturday. Another steak, this time ordered with the Jack Daniels glaze. When it came, the same waitress said.... They'd none of that left so you're left with bbq and presented a thimble full of cold sauce. Took the grandaughter in there tonight, brunch ordered without beans, it came with beans. So by the time it came back out, mine was cold. Admittedly the prices have dropped but so have the standards. Also, on all 3 occasions we've had to clear the tables ourselves and were left with tables more sticky than a 90s niteclub dance floor. Put the prices back up, call the member off staff who's left, apologise and let's have the old William Withering back. That poor botanist will be turning in his grave. Have to say though that Daniel the waiter tonight was brilliant in trying to resolve this.

Cheap and cheerful. Had breakfast and it wasn't the best. Staff were busy and didn't speak.

On a Saturday, much quieter than other wetherspoons, such as telford. Very nice staff, food tasted good and it was quiet and had a nice vibe and atmosphere to it

Good value meals and free coffee refills. Helpful staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Keep an eye out for special deals.

Just had drinks and a dessert, I go with friends regularly. It's always pleasant, and the staff are very friendly

Fast friendly service, very clean considering the amount of people coming in and out and decent food to the standard you would expect from a weatherspoons

Usual big town centre Spoons. Value.

Popped in for a snack. Had a small fish and chips. It was small, but fine. Don't visit W/Spoon's very often. Great value. You can refill beveridges as often as you like. Clearly this is a popular chain. We'd visit again.

Just popped in for a quick coffee. The young lady that served me at the bar was so nice and had great customer service

You get what you pay for. Great value. You can top up beverages as often as you like. Atmosphere just ok, definitely NOT romantic..

We've been here a few times now & have enjoyed every visit. Service is quick & the food is fantastic. Will be back again soon.

Im not from the UK, and this is my favorite fish n chips place

Typical weatherspoons pub, good service, good range of beers at a good price, well worth a visit

Gammon burnt.smallest egg ever also burnt.waiting half hr for food.gave them plenty of time to burn it

Cheap and cheerful, nice beer and food is good for the money , nice down to earth pub,friendly staff

At present I cannot give a review on the Wolverhampton branch as we were unable to find an empty table. As there was a football match later that day everywhere was full with the football fans. I feel sure everything would be as good as any of the other William Withering places we have visited

Nice place at certain times of the day

It's ok for a cheap meal, has a real fire! , toilets upstairs. Can be very noisy and busy and not the cleanest. Has no carpark so you need to walk to this pub as it's in a pedestrianised street, a free carpark is not too far away .

Not good. Burger dripping with grease, chips had either been refried a few times or cooked in old oil or sat out or all three but completely inedible unfortunately. Arrived at the table quickly though. Won't be eating here again I'm afraid

You pay for what you get with the food. No frills but honest with a large selection. Staff are friendly. Always a good choice of ales and reasonably priced.

Lovely atmosphere, busy location

Sometimes crowded noise,average food prices

Staff were very professional, polite and welcomimg. Definitely go here again.

Having not been here in some years, we decided to pop in with friends, heaving of a lunch time around 1pm. Kids meals are a little on the thin side if you have children that can eat a decent sized meal, so we opted for the adults versions of the kids meals which really helped, they enjoyed a pudding as well with extra toppings for a few more pence, this was simply amazing for our kids and they loved picking their own choices to tailor their pudding to their tastes. Food has much improved since my last visit and I was pleased with this, choices of sauces with meals is good and I applaud anyone who doesnt serve a salad with a sauce already applied, options are always appreciated. The serving staff were lovely with the kids, and very polite and friendly, despite it being so busy nothing was too much. I would come again especially on a Saturday afternoon.

Took an hour for breakfast, which was served on cold plates so food very quickly got cold. Not enjoyable at all.

Great value, comfortable pub. Always good service, especially Verity. She’s always welcoming, happy and a very good worker.

Don't bother, nearly hour wait for the worst breakfast ever had

Awful place the staff are so unfriendly, if they want to go home early they will make up something that you’ve done wrong to get you to go before close. Girl with blue hair is the worst

The high standard and wheelchair access I expect from any Wetherspoons pub. A lovely pre Christmas lunch

Apparently it now takes 40 minutes to “warm up” food when you order on the ap, and didnt bother letting us know- just said if we’d ordered at the bar they’d have told us. It’s not even that busy. I think they might have missed the order. They’ve only got 1 waiting on.. hopefully “Tim” will be bankrupt soon… yes I’m hangry. *edited to 1 star as it’s now been 50 minutes. And no apology.

they treat you with contempt. they have no respect for customers

Great place, atmosphere 👌🏾 and service not bad either, so will be definitely going back

Spoons is Spoons, good selection of beer, promt table service

Great food, cold pint can't complain

Nice boozer, always busy. Foods pretty good and the ale is top quality. Good service also

As a group we managed to find 3 tables together but had to clear them and clean them ourselves with cleaning products as staff too busy. Bargain under £12 for fish & chips with a double G&T. Disabled toilet floor covered in water/wee? & loo roll. Staff member came with a mop & bucket, spent 1 minute in there then said "I've put a wet floor sign up so don't slip" & just glared at me!. Few hours later I returned & it was worse and stunk of pee!! 2 young women verbally fighting using bad language but not asked to leave. A staff member just stood there watching!. Our tables weren't cleared so after over an hour we did it ourselves. Staff need training... I understand they are busy but over several hours I didn't see a single staff member smile, be helpful or offer any kind of customer service. I've not only worked in bars and clubs but also had my own pub and customer service is very important. They were like robots!! . I've been in much busier places in London, Europe & America yet the staff have been 10 times better. Only good thing was the prices.

An hour to kill in Wellington. It was this or sit in the doctors. This won, but by the thinnest of margins.

Nice little setting, simple food, good beer and relaxing

The place is disgusting most of the chairs are soiled and worn mostly due to people drinks and dirty clothes they wear and dogs on chairs, lot of tables had plates on them and cleared tables where dirty with crumbs on them. For a restaurant I’m surprised they allow this kind of hygiene

Was not impressed with the food having said that fish and chips were piping hot mushy peas stone cold like they had come out of the freezer they eventually got me another dish they were barely worm

Came in about 3pm on the 18th Oct after a stressful day at work to be welcomed by a lovely polite waitress with blue hair (didn't catch her name) she was so friendly had a laugh with her. Very professional and courteous. She's a major asset to the place

Really nice wetherspoons. Would recommend. Great beers. Toilet is a taxi ride away, like, but that's 'spoons for ya.

Staff are friendly & helpful. The food is decent for the price.

Awful meal. Burnt and inedible. Extremely small portions. A real disappointment

Going down hill fast... Cold breakfast... Cold coffee... I'm not sure why, as it's from a machine with heated water/milk??? Went back to get another but the same problem again. Regrettably, I watched lots of people going into the café across the way. I can see why now! Think I'll give this a miss in future. 😌

Ordered fish and chips but no peas available, so had baked beans. When it arrived the fish was size of SMALL fish meal. Mentioned it when being serve the meal, female smiled turned and walked away. Had same meal there a week ago, different experience and usual good portion of fish

Service was great, staff are friendly

Unique service and top-notch food. Every Sunday with my child I go there after swimming. Kind of a tradition with him. We are there at least 3 times a week.

Very good value food. Well cooked. Lits of choice on the menu. Plenty of seating. Well worth a second visit

Food very nice ,hot and filling .

Love Wetherspoons their fish and chips are the best. Good value for money

Amazing service extremely friendly helpful kind staff, brilliant food atmosphere is brilliant. Recommend to anyone.

Fantastic visit great food large portions great prices lovely staff we will be back.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great atmosphere, friendly service and food great! Having the app to order at the table is a game changer. Find a table, order and enjoy!

Our go- to for a good value breakfast on the weekend! There's something for everyone (even the fussiest kids) and always a nice atmosphere in the morning.

Chips slightly over cooked, not everything on the menu matches the app.

We use this pub quite a lot but mainly fir breakfast. Today we tried lunch.... wow what an amazing experience food arrived quickly and hot tasted amazing (plus the peas were cooked instead of bullets).staff were polite and friendly

Everything you expect from a Spoons, and yes toilets upstairs

Enjoyed the food and service was very good.

Very happy with meals and service was great
