The William Wygston in Oadby and Wigston

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

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👍😁

Good food nice atmosphere would go again

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

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

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.

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.

Reasonable food and drinks at a good.price

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

Lady behind bar is very good at customer interaction

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.

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

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

Food is fantastic, nice place tbh thank you.

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 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👌

Great little place cheap and cheerful full of characters 😁

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.

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

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

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

Thought it was great could not fault the breakfast was lovely and hot and everything was clean and comfortable

Arrived at 12pm mid day, just managed to get a table, very busy Pub/restaurant, took a while to get food ordered, and a while to get our actual food after being offered wrong dishes, however once sorted out the food was reasonable and worth the price, Pity there were so many loud drinkers in our area, this spoilt the experience a bit, I consider this a cheapish place to eat.

Had a coffee but it could have done with being a bit warmer.

Your manager at this pub needs to learn the what rules are he was spouting off about breaching the codes of conduct but after reading your codes of conduct he is just a man who is clearly unhappy in his job and turned down another potential 100 pounds worth of drink sales because he just couldn't be bothered what a shame that the manager on shift is so bad at customer service when the rest of his team was very good maybe he should think of a change of career as he was chatting about codes of conduct and the laws of a pub to people who work in the same industry shame people like him are behind bars and ruining everyone's experience

Had good time with my m8 few drinks and all you can drink coffee and lunch it was nice good price and fast and friendly service

All food is cooked in a microwave and it’s cheap and cheerful. You get the down and outs drinking there and the same old faces sitting all day because it’s cheap.

The beers cheap. Decors good. Foods good. Great to just meet people. Good selection of real ales too. What's not to like 😊

We had a great Sunday English breakfast here for the great price and unlimited tea and coffee, place is homey and with good vibes ..I love coming back.

Bit like the film ground Hogg day meeting every day's the same but saying that very pleasant staff 👍

All good Atmosphere,food and drink

Had the large breakfast. Excellent value and pleasant surroundings. Staff helpful and friendly. Good selection of drinks and food offerings. Sky Sports also available.

Cheap food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and easy to get to

Good fairly priced food somewhere pleasant to sit and rest to enjoy a coffee or a pint

No Steaks on Steak nite!!! You can't make it up! Have 'spoonost the plot? Next they'll have no beer!

Delicious breakfast which arrived promptly
