The Woodrow Wilson in Carlisle

1.99 for a pint of Worthington.

Went there like I always do when I’m in Carlisle which is regular and the beer and the food were brilliant as were the staff as always. The beer garden was also better than before. Well done all and see you in 2025.

I used the app to order my drink and my meal. The service was quick and efficient. The food was hot and tasty. The price was good.

Great prices and Christmas dinner was delish

Great place to grab a spot of lunch.. I'd just sat back down and the food came.. can't beat that for speed... it was also very nice for the price..

Good place for a family meal not to expensive great staff

Took my dad out for lunch and he'd happily go back again Staff were very pleasant and our lunch was very nice too

Wonderful afternoon as always great place.

5 stars alone for having Innis & Gunn Carribbean Rum Cask Ale on for £1.99 during the Beer Festival, one of the best beers I've ever tried. Be careful with it though. 😲🤭

I really enjoyed this pub. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. On this occasion, the stand out was Georgina. Smart in appearance and warm in nature. Nothing was any trouble, from cleaning our table to collecting our empties. She performed all her tasks with a smile and a willingness to engage with customers like me. This was very much appreciated. Georgina is a credit to Wetherspoons and deserves recognition.

Quite possibly one of the dullest quizzes in the history of dullness. Hardly seems possible that anything could be any less entertaining.

We have a family gathering every two weeks. Food,drink and air our grievances We love Spoons.

Always a good selection of beers and ales

Great ale selection, very large beer garden

Typical pub good atmosphere and good food and drink

Good attendance and environment, good food at reasonable prices. Almost every Sunday for a meal and pint. Changed the days I'm in now, Fridays and the food's cheaper with the same quality.

A good Wetherspoon's with a fine selection of local real ales. The food is typical Wetherspoon's fare, basic but decent and it was served hot and without much delay so no complaints at all. This Wetherspoon's actually has toilets on the ground floor too!

After the William Rufus, also Spoons, we thought we'd try this place as first time visitors to Carlisle. Here we sat out in the sunshine at the back. Early Saturday afternoon and despite the extensive 'beer garden', few tables available. Plumped for the great Old Speckled Hen and it was a lovely pint. Only quibble would be the wait time at the bar. The staff per customer ratio was incredibly low.

Went for breakfast with my 2 sons, ordered using the app, very quick service breakfast was great, hit the spot, went back couple of days later with a friend for lunch, again used the app, fast service again, 2 pints there in 5 mins and food arrived 5 mins after that, friendly helpful staff, great all round service, clean place with good atmosphere, will definitely be back.

My food was late but the service from ben the slim tall handsome ginger haired sweet heart made up for it all with his amazing attitude friendly manners and subtle flirting. I will always be back ;)

I came earlier this evening for some food and a paint before my train the bar was quite busy but as I got to the bar I was met by a tall kind eyed bar man who didn't rush me and was calming didn't mind guiding me threw the vegan options and even talked to me about the fine ales on draft at no point did he try get me hurry up even tho there was a question forming behind me. I hope the pub know how lucky they are to have this tall handsome kind eyed hunk behind the bar.

Busy and lively a pub for the slightly older generation. Plenty of tables, outside seating area and several real ales on tap.

Decent Spoons, usually a good choice of real ales. Service at the bar sometimes a bit slow, typical of many Spoons in years gone by. Tabel service via the app faster! This pub tends to be busy most of the time in my experience.

Two called in for dinner on Saturday evening. It was jumping. Very busy. Service is quick and prices are reasonable. Not many vegetables on offer. We had the Mediterranean salad which were good. Bottle of Pinot Noir good value.

well i would like to say the service was awful my chips were cold ,the bar man was the one who got our food wrong yet we got accused it was our fault by josh , and we had to pay extra 1.52 when it wasn’t our fault even tho the bar man had said he got it wrong and yet it was still our fault and still had to pay extra , customer service was awful no respect there at all.

Ideal place for a long & overdue catch up with friends. Great service from our lovely server Jess, very friendly & recommended her favourite dishes off the menu! Classic Weatherspoons food & drink menu and we'd expect no more or less - just what the doctor ordered for out night. Definitely recommend!

Great food, fast and friendly service and a chill atmosphere. Love this Spoons and will be going back often

Very busy, so took a long time to be served

Nice and clean. Staff very friendly. Very quick on the app. Food nice and hot. DOWNSTAIRS TOILETS 👍 What more can you ask for .

Relaxed evening with friends , food was good nothing special but it is a wetherspoons after all. Good service and polite staff . Worth a pop in for a pint

Nice and peaceful ☺️ great beer garden, just a nice atmosphere with no music 🎶

Good cheap pub grub and good price drinks

Another great wetherspoons for service and a very reasonable price. One of the few wetherspoons with downstairs toilets.

Very good concept. Very cheap, so good value for money. Easy for a quick bite or a nice drink with a group on a budget.

Standard 'spoons, does what it says on the tin. Good location in the town centre, with a sister pub just up the road. The usual wide selection of food, and doesn't seem to take long for a table to become free. We wandered in on a busy summer Saturday afternoon and got a table straight away. There's parking just over the road if needed, with multiple paid locations nearby. Food was slightly less on par than we have come to expect on that day, with both our pizza bases and toppings very thin, and the cardboard-like base was crispy and overcooked, much like the poppadoms we ordered. Just didn't represent the value we've come to expect in Wetherspoons.

No thrills. You know what you're getting when you eat here. It's cheap and quick. And looks like a cremated hockey puk

Nice and friendly staff , great atmosphere

Food was excellent and staff very helpful and friendly

Food and drink are fantastic and the staff are excellent 👌 👍Can't say any more than previous, ever thing is still fantastic. 👍

You know what you get with a weatherspoons

Man behind bar totally lazy waited for over ten mins for to be served belonged to black fingernail gang .poor lady on duty running around serving food and trying to serve drinks

typical wetherspoon cheap food and drink , pizzas are very good

If you are in carlisle this is the pub to go, absolutely fantastic place

After all the carnage and liver abuse at a mate’s wedding and missing breakfast at the hotel through sleeping in, it was time for a bit of good old ‘Spoons aided recovery, thankfully the Woodrow Wilson was just a short walk down Botchergate, Carlisle. Staff were genuinely polite and cheery, service great, the bar itself really nice for a Wetherspoons, that legendary myth about the toilets always being a mission to find and a hike to reach, all but fibs here. I ordered two mix grills to have on one plate and on this occasion struggled since I was hanging from the night before, but the food quality was spot on, I washed it down with five cappuccinos, my mate laughed that his order looked like a kid’s meal in comparison. Couldn’t fault the Woodrow Wilson at all, happily recommended, full marks guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service, nice breakfast gets very busy in evening.

Just your usual everyday wetherspoons. You get what you expect... Food and drink at a decent price

It's a spoons it does what it says on the tin

Solid 'Spoons with an above average beer selection.

Im a regular here. My favourite is curry night. Last Thursday I ordered beef madras with an extra of onion bagee and samosa. The curry was great as usual but the extras were still chilled in the middle. I brought this to their attention later and received an apology and an extra drink, I declined as I'd had enough by then. Pity as it's usually very good.

My husband got to stake and baked potato. And he said it was cooked to perfection. Put I got the burrito bowl and for me it was very tasteless. So for that reason I'm only giving it 4 stars. But other than that all was perfectly fine.

A nice weatherspoons with a massive outdoor area.

We came with friends and family to have dinner and some drinks. The Pub is classed as family friendly. We were sat outside and the kids were playing nicely. The manager told us the children were not allowed to play and had to remain seated while sat outside in the sun. The Pub should not be classed as family friendly if the children can't play. The children were supervised by 5 adults to 3 children. When we asked if the children were allowed to play round the table we were sat on the manager was rather rude and said it's a beer garden not a playground. The kids were not causing any trouble. I feel he could of delt with the situation differently and was rather rude. We will not be back for a family meal. THIS IS NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY PUB. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND WITH SMALL CHILDREN

Typical Weatherspoons. Cheap beer, reasonable food. It is getting a bit tired inside and could do with a tin of paint

While working up this way I called in here at approx 7.30pm for some tea with my 18 year old son and work colleague after finishing work. We ordered our food which was spot on, Myself and my work colleague were enjoying a couple of pints after eating, my son doesn’t drink alcohol and was having a Pepsi, it was after 9.30pm now when a young female bar staff member who didn’t looked like she was still at school came over an asked my son for ID to prove he was 18 while sat drinking his Pepsi! He didn’t have any ID on him and neither did I for that matter, I told her he was 18 but said he had would have to leave! The pub was nearly empty as it was. My son is 18, over six foot and doesn’t drink alcohol. So we finished our pints and went on to another bar without stupid silly rules and young girls on an ego trip, Certainly won’t be using this eatery when working up this way in the future!

Communication in this place sucks , my steak arrived incorrectly prepared, no one took ownership of the capturing mistake they made… really just ridiculous waiting for a meal one hour just ridiculous

Was a lovely day in Carlisle warm sat in the beer garden staff were so friendly

Food was disgusting, inedible, will definitely not be eating there's again. Not enough staff on the bar

It's a typical Wetherspoons. What else can one say. You've been in one spoons, you've kinda been I'm them all!

Usual spoons standard. Decent grub , lovely staff and a few different characters

Breakfast was luke warm, although plate was hot so clearly had been put on hotplate. By far the worst breakfast I've had. One of the hot drinks machines served hot chocolate that was bearly watery milk, ended up dumping it and getting from other machine which was OK. The porridge was thick like cement. Wouldn't return for food.

Had a good night table service, not the best

Cosy spoons with booths, nice decor and nice toilets that are actually 10 seconds walk not 1 mile away!

And so, on a blustery Saturday afternoon we venture into the 28th President of the good old US of A. A Nobel peace prize winning leader who led his country at the outbreak of World War 1, the Great War. Which is ironically what it’s like trying to get served in the Woodrow at 3PM on a Saturday. Getting to the bar took a two pronged attack, with wingman approaching from the east flank giving cover to the nose attack taking on the central ground. It was hard going, particularly for two cokes and a packet of McCoys. But we got there unwounded and with pride relatively intact.

Used this place for breakfasts during a weekday stay across the road, plenty of seats, good breakfasts, both locations have same prices.

Very busy and a delicious pint at a cracking price. A visit is a must.

Great afternoon with good friends.

One of the top Spoons as choice of ales go - fully embracing the Spring Festival by adding a pop up bar to offer a further 12 guest ales.

Table. Dirty and. Cluttered staff walking around, and ignoring the clutter, food average chips pale amd not crispy,

Enjoyed a good night here with friends soaking up the atmosphere. Very good ales with polite and efficient service. Both wetherspoons share a vibrant atmosphere. Not sure which one I preferred.

One of the best Wetherspoons we have ever been in & we have been in quite a few across the UK.

Excellent value and good atmosphere

Great place to go for a quick lunch, friendly, good food and fast service.

Great breakfast as always. Good value for money. The bacon is always good! My only complaint this time would be that there were no muffins available so we couldn't get the breakfast muffin deal. Full English was still very good though and you can't beat the refillable tea and coffee!

Great night out in a socially conducive atmosphere. No loud music or other distractions. Plus, booze at a great price. Gotta love the spoons!!

Went in after night shift for breakfast, food was lovely, didn't have to wait long a nice chilled out hour

Nice and quiet, hot and tasty food, and good service from the staff

It's a wethy? Same as every other one for food and atmosphere. Good food for the price.

An ok Spoons. But gone downhill in all areas since previous manager left. Hardly see the new manager on the floor.

Brilliant will definitely b back here with my darts team for day oot

Using the app for service seems to be the best way to get food and drink served. The app is easy enough to use

The food was okay, I bought a burger and chips and onion rings, the onion rings were amazing but the chips and burger were very average. My burger bun was burnt black so the whole burger tasted funny. I will definitely stick to burger king in future for my burgers but I will go back and try something else, the prices are very good and those onion rings were absolutely cracking!

Had a few pints with lads from the darts teams.

Yet again people were vaping and not one staff member said a thing. The worst part though is I'm now on oxygen, which is extremely flammable. The place could have blown up any second due to the incompetence of the staff .I didn't know these people were vaping till I got home and was told by my friend. I or my friends should not have to do the job of the staff. This is the third time I have commented about vapers.

Typical Spoon's if ur not eating you will be treat like a leper

Come up to see friends and we decided to meet at this Wetherspoons bar. Was all going ok then I noticed on the first night a lot of people (especially older) complaining that their heads on their beers were huge but would not complain. Me and my partner had ordered on several occasions a shipyard. And every single pint had a massive head of froth. Eventually we asked that Shipyard was allowed to settle before completing pour. On returning the next day to see our friends off we ordered another round and the heads on the beer were huge. I asked on several occasions to let it settle and shipyard is like Guinness you have to let it settle for a good pint. It is not rocket science but just lazy After being refused to top up the pint from the shift leader whose knowledge of good hospitality seems very poor I asked for a refund. Also they might not pour the beer refunds down the sink but wait to server to the next customer. We were personally served two pints which were all ready poured and served from below the counter. Eventually we left with beer wasted for a refund rather than a top up. Said final pint along with Brewers association guidelines shown below. (Pa shift supervisor was advised picture was being taken before refund requested) The British Beer & Pub Association guidelines state. ‘ 3. Request from customers for top-up should be received with Grace and never refused, subject to avoiding spillage of liquid.’ But obviously do not apply here.

Usually this place is fine, but since when did Wetherspoons do quiz nights? Cackling women at 200db finished it for me.

Busy pub. Variety of clientele. Friendly staff. Good price for food and drinks.

Good service, good food,plenty of space

A great Spoons and 1st among equals. The food is as great as is the service.Its usually busy on an evening but more so on weekends. Highly recommended like the Williams Rufus 'Spoons further up the road.

Food okay apart from a dire bangers and mash!

A quick bite whilst on a training course nearby. Service was quick, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It appeared busy for a Monday lunchtime with a number of groups of people having a good catch-up. All the facilities were downstairs, including the accessible toilet. Accessible entrance. There was an outside space to the rear for the brave. It was a tad chilly today. You can order on the app if you want your meal exactly as on the menu. If not, order at the bar, and don't forget to take a quick pick of the table number. The expected cheap and basic Wetherspoons food, but our Cheese and Bacon Loaded Chips were such a disappoint. It was more like a sprinkle than loaded, not enough to even taste.

Very good Wetherspoons, great range of ales

Prefer Woodrow Wilson to Lloyd's in Carlisle. Quieter and better seating. More booths. Food and drink is always the same standard

Good place to go before football

Really good food. Ordered food on the app. Quick service.

Half frozen chip last time and a soggy pizza this time don't know why I go back

Always a good place for an evening drink with a nice atmosphere. Basic 'pub grub' you can't go wrong 👍

Typical wetherspoons good place to just chill, have a party or anything in-between

Visited with a friend, both had a Mixed Grill with a Dark Fruits Cider, by far best Spoons meal I’ve had, blown away at quality of both meals and the service was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming, we will be back.

Great food prices and drinks included with order.
