The William Wygston in Oadby and Wigston

great value for money order to your seat on the app and great atmosphere

You don't come to expect much from a wetherspoons pub but to be treated the way me and my guests was was unbelievable, all because one of them didn't have any ID on him a member of staff in a very arrogant manner told him he wasn't allowed to have his drink and I wouldn't be getting a refund because of one of many policies they have I was then accused of being confrontational because I challenged it it was only after I pointed out how crap the customer service is that they agreed to swap it for a soft drink then went on to say he had to leave at 9pm and if his food wasn't ready he wouldn't be allowed to eat in there and would have to take it away , but just wow what a bunch he's got running that pub especially the female manager they all need some serious training in customer service I can't give any names as it's another policy not to give staff names when you want to complain and when you do complain it's just refered back to thr person you're complaining about complete joke of a place

Delicious hand pumped ale, rich food (mixed grill) and all at a very reasonable price.

Good food, Cheap bar prices, Great service. I go quite often.

Its a spoons. Modest ale selection (about 6) three of which were local, others mostly greene king. Well served and (most importantly for a spoons) easy to get served

This pub needs an upgrade. It's to old fashioned. Staff were slow to serve customers.

Went into the Billy Wygston on a Friday afternoon for a fish and chip lunch with the family. The place was jammed, packed to the rafters and we took the last seat in the house. Two chippy teas and a chicken strips meal duly arrived in reasonable time. The chips were a touch stodgy and almost hot. A valiant effort though. The meals were OK and we ate them while downing a sift drink or two. The pub was very busy indeed. Tables were being cleaned and cleared sporadically at best. All in all, it was an acceptable meal, and we had few complaints. We said farewell to the place giving it a solid six out of ten.

Nice enough pub as Wetherspoons go. Can get very busy but staff are friendly and service is normally quite quick. Food is good value for the price.

Nice place to have drinks and food

Absolutely appalling. Waited over an hour for breakfast, arrived stone cold, sent back came back out just the same!! Never again

Avoid if you want a laugh manager will bar you horrible person me and 10 another mates used this pub for years evey weekend one by one the manager has asked them to leave

Value for money always a good crowd and marvelous ales at value for money prices 👍

My wife and I had just flown back into the country, and as we had absolutely no food in the house we decided to have dinner at this establishment with two of our friends. This our local ‘Spoons and we have dined here on many occasions, and normally I’m quite complimentary about the whole experience, but not this time. The pub was quite packed, but we found a seat and ordered on the app. The girls both had a chicken korma with additional onion bahjis, I had a large mixed grill and the final dish was a chicken burger. The drinks were soon brought to the table and the food came shortly after. Now to say that the food was well below par on this occasion would be an understatement! Some of my meat wasn’t properly cooked, and was extremely tough, the onion bahjis were raw in the middle and the chicken burger was also nothing to write home about. We called over one of the waiters and pointed all of the failures in the meal out. He apologised, but did absolutely nothing else. This was not only the worst meal we’ve ever had at this particular ‘Spoons, but one of the most dreadful meals we’ve ever had in any of the many ‘Spoons that we have visited up and down the country!

Very pleased with the service and quality it was very busy but still had clean table And prompt service.

I've been in the daytime with family to eat and enjoyed it then went on a Saturday night with work friends and we all had a good time

Nice local Spoons. Beer was well kept. What's not to like.

Good food nice atmosphere would go again

I visit this place at least once a month to have breakfast with a Niece 😁 Great food , good service and friendly atmosphere👍😁 Coffee , tea and hot chocolate top ups are free👍😁

Had a pleasant evening here, meeting old workmates, cheap drinks, and food.

Too noisy. No parmesan available for pasta dish.

Lovely meal, it's a wetherspoon so basic pub food, but it was delicious, I ordered off the app, food was fairly prompt and hot so all good.

Good place for meeting a friend and family good beer and coffee

Alway a lovly experience well priced food friendly staff warm and comfortable many thanks to hard working staff

Always very busy in here, often struggle to find a table, however service is usually fairly quick.

Good food, quick service. It's a little crowded.

Excellent friendly service from all staff yes can be busy so a little patience wouldn't go a miss,The beer choice could not be faulted don't be put off by key board warriors

Reasonable food and drinks at a good.price

Used to visit this pub on a regular basis. Now never go in due to draconian management. It’s almost become a meme in Wigston that the green eyed manager will bar you for so much as looking at her the wrong way. I’ve heard many stories of people being *permanently* barred for no reason. Tim Martin would be ashamed of what goes on here. Wouldn’t recommend.

Great place, typical wetherspoons good vegetarian options and quick service as well as an easy to navigate app. It’s a fairly spacious pub and when it’s quiet it’s lovely, the only reason the atmosphere doesn’t get 5 stars is because i do have to avoid it on certain days because it gets very loud and crowded but that’s just down to personal preference i only go there for the food so i like it quiet and empty but of course if you’re going there to drink it’s great.

We visited The William Wygston in August 2023. A generic and traditional looking pub, but fairly welcoming from the outside with plenty of flowers and flower baskets. Inside the pub is small but well decorated, having been refurbished in 2015 and with plenty of seating throughout. Of special note is the huge metal dragon which stands at the bottom of the stairs to the toilet! Check out our website or visit our socials (@wethowanderers) to read our full review of the pub!

Don’t step outside to take a phone call if it’s nearly 11pm! Popped in to meet work colleagues that I’ve not seen for a long time at around 10:50pm, stepped quickly out to finish a phone call as the interior of the pub was too noisy at 10:55pm, when I walked back in at 11pm to rejoin colleagues from work, I’d apparently crossed over the time of last admittance! For the first time ever in my 25 years been legal drinking age, but someone who doesn’t drink Alcohol, I was turfed out of pub for the bare cheek of walking through a door way a just under a minute later than allowed! Bit different.

Get place for a bite to eat and a pint.

Floor was sticky aswel as the bar, waited a long time for service although they wernt very busy. Not impressed

Best place for breakfast with coffee refills to keep you going all day

Great wetherspoons any time of day

A group of us went for breakfast. I had a large breakfast which was substantial, fortunately I was hungry. I had the unlimited refill tea and coffee to accompany my meal which, is great if you are a coffee fanatic like myself, they have the usual cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate and various flavours of tea including breakfast tea. The breakfast had eggs, bacon, sausages, beans and toast, all cooked beautifully and was very tasty. The atmosphere was calm with lots of chatter from other patrons but not too loud that you couldn't enjoy your own. Everything was clean and sanitised. The staff were polite and friendly. One thing to consider is that you have to pay for parking in the public car park behind the Lloyds Bank across the road. Up to 2 hours is a pound, so not too bad. We left feeling full and content.

Lady behind bar is very good at customer interaction

Food was disgusting. Ordered vegan bangers and mash, and when the dish arrived the gravy was congealed and lumpy. The whole plate looked as though it have been sat under a heat lamp all day. When I took the plate to the bar to ask for a refund, the member of staff told me that “it’s onion gravy and is usually lumpy”. I don’t think so. Also, on the second dish around half of the chips were under cooked and solid. The side order of chicken gravy was not even half full and was clearly microwaved. Probably leftovers from the last person who ordered it. Will not return there

Typical Wetherspoons Pub . Very popular for breakfast and coffee/tea - free refills.

Cheep cheerful and friendly staff with air con, great pub

As always can't fault a weather spoons - food was nice and good value for money

Great place to eat or just chill out

Food is fantastic, nice place tbh thank you.

Dan G was sublime. Had great banter & such a bright smile. 10/10 would recommend!

Very good service, wife enjoyed meal and I enjoyed my pints. One thing though I wished the staff would smile more.

nice breakfast this morning. Cheap and cheerful. Toast was a little cold but everything else was perfect.

A nice spoons, great prices as ever and a good selection of drinks available.

I haven't eaten here, but the food that comes out looks and smells amazing. I go here with my badminton colleagues, the service and atmosphere are great.

Great little place cheap and cheerful full of characters 😁

Great all round wetherspoon's located at the top end of main road in Wigston. Definitely return for food and a nice family/friends gathering one night👌

Good food for price and cheap drinks, great for going out with friends or family

My wife and I, and two long-time friends had dinner here and it was quite a good experience, but as per many visits in the past there was a slight niggle that stops me from saying the meal was excellent. As usual we ordered through the app, and the drinks were soon brought to the table. It wasn’t long before the first two meals arrived, and I immediately told the member of staff that delivered them that they had been a bit mean on my coleslaw as there was hardly any in the dish it came in. Now you’d think that she would have apologised and rectified the problem, but no, she just laughed, turned on her heel and went into the kitchen. I was thinking that she may bring more out with the other two meals, but alas that didn’t happen. The other two meals arrived shortly after the first two and were delivered by the same person, who quickly put them on the table and left rather sharpish. Our friend then noticed that she had very little beans and cheese on her baked potato, so she decided to speak to a member of the staff when one of them next came up to the dining area. That didn’t work out too well as the person that brought the meals came up to the table and asked if everything was alright with the meals, but left without us answering, so the service we got was certainly below par. Apart from being short-changed on some of the items on our plates the meals were fine. We always come back to this pub, as no matter how many little grumbles we have about things that are not as they should be, we always consider that we get good value for money, and the meals are normally okay – pity about the staff on this occasion.

Compared to some of the Wetherspoons I've visited this one was pretty good. Didn't have any food just met up with some mates for a pint. As usual toilets are upstairs 😉

Over cooked food fish was not edable

Nice place, 7 of us had good time here Good food, service is very good. Happy to come back again. Recommend chicken wings as Starter. We had 2 chicken burger, 3 steaks, 2 fish and chips, 1 pizza, all freshly cooked.

Yet another spoons, you just can't go wrong with them, always consistent and a work allowance goes along way in spoons

I just popped in for a pint on my way back from somewhere, one 'Spoons is much the same as another - and the Doom Bar is almost always perfect - but I just wanted to drop in a short 'review' as two things wound me up regarding the service. Firstly, the young guy that served me (about 13:00?) was one of the most miserable people I've ever had serve me who wasn't actively rude. He has a lot to learn about customer service; I really don't want a false smile and an American-style 'Have a nice day, now!' but actually speaking to the customer might help. Secondly - and this can be a real problem in certain Wetherspoons - the other person serving, a woman, blatantly ignored me and served a regular first, even though he had come to the bar a couple of minutes after me. I didn't say anything as the male (see above) was just finishing off another customer, but I hate this selective style of queueing.

Nice food for the price, relaxing friendly atmosphere.

Great service but ran out of burgers 🍔 😕

Great location at the heart of Wigston, the staff were very polite and friendly. It is a Wetherspoons and compared to others I like this one a lot, the vibe is pretty good. Food is the usual Wetherspoons food, which can be a bit hit and miss

Quality breakfast, good timing of food, enjoyed it

Went for breakfast, lovely food and good service

Extremely disappointed in how the shift manager Dan dealt with when a customer came in the pub with a puppy whiteout realising that they have a no dog policy. A lady from the counter offered to give the puppy some water but the manager took the bowl and put it away, started to be aggressive in his behaviour towards the customer. I do get the policy but to get the bowl away on this heat is just cold hearted and show that clearly is no customer service whatsoever. As a manager you are front of the house and to behave like that is absolutely disgusting. Shame on you JD Wetherspoon for hiring such inexperience people as managers.

Dan is very Rude.(Shift Manager) His customer skills are very poor. All the other staff are good

Very clean and tidy. Didn't order food, but drinks were very good. Excellent quality and value.

Best value pub in Wigston. Has a good choice of Ales and fair priced grub

Lovely place with a cozy scenery. Not much of a drinker but it seemed alright.

Staff are friendly and very attentive. Food was great and not to expensive. Good place to visit for a bite to eat.

My mate and I went there for a drink yesterday after work. The place was busy and they had a lot of staff on. But the tables were absolutely dirty and I was really shocked. On the table we sat on, the table had left over food, bits of crisps etc. We looked around for someone to clean the table but there was no one around. We did notice that other tables were just as dirty as ours. I usually frequent the wetherspoons in Oadby. That is usually spotless. When someone leaves, one of their staff come around and clean the table for the next customer. Maybe the manager of the Wigston Wetherspoons needs to spend some time at the Oadby one to understand the basics of cleanliness.

We've eaten a few times in the Willy Wig, it's what you expect from a Spoons. Went for the spicy meat feast pizza with extra chilies. the pizza looked great, see photo, but it was a bland as bland can be, all you could taste was the tomato base, i ate 4 of the chilis at once, nothing, if you're going to say it's spicy then make it spicy. Very disappointing.

Very nice place. Food was very nice and service was great. Would have been a 5☆ if the peas had not been cold

I go for the meals, there's usually specials and such but I tend to go for the loaded chips. Nice, family atmosphere. One of the higher ups, she has somewhat of an attitude on occasion, but I suppose that comes with the territory. Though the bar staff and the rest are all polite, able and hard working. Top marks! Almost.

Very good except my husband ordered a mixed grill and there was no sausage on it as stated in the menu.

Every Sunday without fail me n husband take our nephew for meal and drink after football Friendly syaff

Usually come here for breakfast when visiting relatives in Wigston. General customer service is good - depends on who is working when in my opinion but has been mainly positive. The ordering food on the phone system helps a lot and means that you can have food and drink taken to you without you having to leave your seat. The only issue with this is that they'll be things that aren't communicated like missing items on the meal.

As always the service was excellent and the food and drinks was as expected

The food I'm not really impress,steak are overcooked no Taste..

Good friendly staff, A range of food at fair prices. Only drawback service is som etimes slow as the staff ratio seems low to how many customers there are. A new menu has improved the selection of food and the breakfast is served for a good length of time.A good range of beer at competitive prices.

Love Wetherspoons, but the new steak and kidney pudding with mash potatoes is not a good option. I'm veggie, but my hubby had this. Pudding looked anemic, and potatoes looked like they had splatted onto the plate from a great height. My jacket potato with 5 bean chilli wasn't much to write home, so I wouldn't order it again. Lot's of other veggie options that I have tried previously and liked.

I have visited this pub on several occasions, at different times and on different days. Generally, on my evening visits, it is usually a bit of a scrum to get into the pub and to the bar, as it is very popular with the locals and therefore on a par with most of the others I have visited around the country over the years. If you're going in for a few drinks, then generally good value for money and choice, but generally a little slow getting served as there aren't enough front-of-house staff, although this is again typical of most Wetherspoons. I have also stopped for food on a few occasions and again, typical of what you would expect from a Wetherspoons, though notably the service is fairly prompt and the order has actually arrived correctly, which is unusual. Again, clearly more staff needed particularly on Sunday mornings as the breakfasts appear to be popular here but otherwise it's about what you expect to get from any of their establishments - reasonably priced food of reasonable quality in a reasonable time.

The staff go above and beyond to support the customers in their hour of need. Keep up the great work.

My first visit to this Witherspoon's pub. Pleasant atmosphere. Varied and hot food. Good value for your money. Would recommend it for an inexpensive lunch with friends

Witherspoon what more can I say. Cheap cheap cheap

It has a good selection of beer.

Having visited fairly regularly over the last 20 or so years at the moment this place is very good. The general quality of the food and presentation is good value for money. The staff always are friendly and welcoming even when they're having a testing day. For a number of years it wasn't as good but it seems to have got over that phase. Keep up the good work. Thank you

Lovely to meet family here for breakfast. Lots of space to stretch out. I had a tasty vegan breakfast which was a very reasonable price. My only qualm was that they didn't have soya milk for my cup of tea.

Went for breakfast, there was a problem in the kitchen so some items weren't available. What did come out was barely lukewarm, including the plate. I usually enjoy their breakfast.

Went for breakfast with my son. Food was good and stayed hot after forgetting to get sauces. Staff levels seemed a bit low but we were served quickly.

Nice pub and a selection of beers

Its a wetherspoons, you know what to expect.

Went for breakfast with a friend, found tables and chairs clean bar service was good we were looked after by Sarah who bought our food and drinks she must have the biggest smile in wigston looked after us great can not fault the breakfast or drinks great value for money will visit again soon

Usually go for lunch with the wife on Fridays. Always good value for money and with prices these days getting a pint for £2.10 you can’t go wrong.

One of the more decent pubs round the area. Food was decent although the chilli was definitely from a tin and the rice that came with it was just microwave rice. Jacket potato was okay although the cheese that comes with it was weird. Definitely can recommend the pizzas, good price and portion size.

Not great service at lunch time today Drink slammed on the table still on the tray that no one came to collect The handles on the knife were broken and about to fall off, it was swapped for a blunt knife After eating half of my chips I found a trace of egg on my plate ( I didn’t have a meal containing egg) food tasted nice just got put off after finding the trace of egg on my plate.

Not a good place to go. Barring a lot of regulars for no reason. Need to change management otherwise there will be no one in it at at all.

Just watch out because Beadle's about.... and he's a sneaky one!

The manager frightened me to death it does not feel like a pub ive never been so scared to walk in a pub n drink lorraine is frightening i will certainly be calling witherspoons Head office to complain abaolute no need

Fantastic breakfast lovely ladies

It was very busy at 9pm on the 23rd December but was greeted by smiling Lorraine who personified customer service whilst we were there she couldn't have been more helpful if she tried.

Always go here for breakfast absolutely delicious
