Please don’t waste your money and time at the Weatherspoons NEC Birmingham. I paid over £30 for tuna ciabatta and burger and it was a load of crap.Took over 30 minutes and had to complain due to lack of tuna.It was replaced with a ciabatta with two slices of tomato only on one side.The burger was cold and staff totally clueless,never again,ruined my day at the caravan show.

We had booked Sky Bar over the road and they let us down. So 17 of us turned up for breakfast. We must have had the good staff compared to the previous reviews. Loads of help, friendly, food came reasonably quickly and together. Food was hot, and no problems. It was at the standard you expect from a wetherspoons. There was only one coffee machine working but that wasnt really a major issue, just a small one. The staff were really good.

Awful, tasteless breakfast and was 42 for two so no excuses. Poor quality and undercooked mushrooms, dry eggs and sausages, utterly tasteless.

Large plate and bugger all on it ! The centre of the plate wasn't even covered. Low number of chips, burger small and colleague who ordered the chicken burger couldn't believe how bad it was. If you want something to eat, go somewhere else. 2 x drinks, 2 x crap meals = £45. Very poor indeed.

We arrived in this venue at 6pm fair enough there was lots of football supporters at the time , we sat down on a table that had loads of dirty things on we wanted to order food I asked a waitress to clean table she took to glasses away leaving all other stuff and food on it 15 minutes later I asked another member of staff to clean so we could eat again some one came and removed another couple of glasses still leaving all plates of food by the time it was 6 45 I had waited long enough so I went and asked a man for the manager he looked me blank in the face and ignored me so I spoke again still IGNORANT so I went to the bar and asked if a manager was there they took me to the male who had completely blanked me twice and he still wasn't keen to speak to me straight away I was told by him we are busy and don't have time to clean to which I mentioned the couple of items being moved twice still excuse was not got time to which I said surely if your the manager you would get your staff to clear a table after they served a table being very ABRUPT he told me not to tell him how to be a manager by that time it was a hour later table was still full of dirty plates etc and we had no time to eat before getting us to our venue surprise when I told him that I went back to the filthy table got my other guests to leave and as we left the door next to the table someone was there to clean it ,

Food was awful.. never knew you could make a mess of a panini, veggie chilli, lasagna & curry but this place can. Portions small, no professional pride in what they do and presentation non existent. A member of staff took our plates a wast without a smile or asking if we had any problems and in the process left some of the food we had left on my plate on the table, not bothering to wipe it away! If there was someone to complain to we would have done. Awful experience don’t go and waste your money here!

Pre gig drinks at The NEC and wished we hadn't bothered. The pub is ill equipped to deal with a huge influx of punters. It was jam packed and there simply weren't enough staff to deal with the thirsty masses. It was uncomfortable, slow, dirty and we left as soon as we'd downed a quick drink. Not good

Being Gluten-free it is very difficult to find places to eat, but we had quite a range to choose from and my mind was reassured by a really helpful guy called Nathan. He was polite, cheerful, very professional and a real credit to this establishment. Many thanks Nathan.

Revisited this Wetherspoons during a convention at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. This time food was being served so we are already a step better than my first experience here back in 2019. However this was short lived. Checking the menu via the App almost every popular option was missing. Everything left seemed to be a chicken dish. I ordered the JD BBQ Chicken burger and was not impressed with what I recevied. Burnt chips, and the most depressing burger I have ever seen consisiting of a chewy uncoated chicken breast clearly zapped in a microware which had been lightly covered in very runny BBQ sauce and thrown into a soggy bun with some cheese. Normally I am not a fussy eater but I really struggled to eat the food. I was even more disapointed when re-checking the App I found no desert options available at all. So much like my previous review I do not reccomend this as a place to eat. I will give them 2 stars however for the friendliness of the wait staff and the speed they served the food and drinks.

Massive pub but still can't cope with the number of customers. Service was slow and extremely unfriendly. Tables left dirty, no menus and ridiculously high prices for a Wetherspoons. Food was below par even with low expectations. Avoid this one like the plague.

It was food but not massively edible. The chips were cold and so dry could hardly swallow. The burger was supposed to come with salad. I had one slice of tomato and red onion in it and one tiny piece of old wilted lettuce on my plate. Burger was over cooked Don't bother eating here

We were visiting for the Homebuilding and Renovation show on Saturday 23rd March 202r. Stopped at Wetherspoons for lunch. Fish and chips - cold, bland fish and 10 chips. Jacket potato with beans and cheese - 1tsp of cheese. Also cold. G&T - 1tsp of gin; very dodgy measure. Complained - staff said they were "really busy". It was half full when we sat down. Table ordering app doesn't work either. It also appears to be 30-50% more expensive than other Wetherspoons. Pint of Guinness £6.25. WTF? Taking sandwiches and bottled water from our local Co-op next time.

We had the misfortune of having breakfast at Wetherspoons at the NEC today. To say it was awful is the understatement of the century! We had a full English breakfast, which was stone cold and inedible, every single item. They even managed to make the toast unbeatable. The joy didn't end with the food, as the cappuccino/coffee machine was also stone cold. The price was the icing on the cake. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Whilst at the NEC we stopped at Wetherspoon in the complex for breakfast and from there it was all down hill! The 'large breakfast' was anything but large but that was a blessing as the food was cold and inedible. If you're coming to the NEC do yourself a favour and eat before you get here!

Was at the running show and had travelled 4hrs and through would come out and have breakfast, thought have been to a weatherspoons before, yes was expensive but through got to be OK, how wrong can you be a small breakfast and vegetarian breakfast £28.00 everything had been pre cooked and kept in a heat trolley so arrived cold, small portions, no flavour, disgusting, the scrambled egg was not even fresh eggs them horrible powder eggs that go really hard and start turning green/blue where sat for so long, totally inedible the beans had a film across them and very dry and inedible, the quorn sausage was all dried out, the only thing that was ok a piece of toast, which you really can't go wrong a slice of basic white bread toasted the small breakfast wouldn't even fill a young child, it's the worse breakfast I have ever had in my life, and the most expensive total rip off, I would not recommend to anyone and very surprised that food standards have nit shut it down or investigated its disgusting that a massive company can make such a mark up because its a popular destination and not deliver on quality and service

No table ordering which meant lugging my bags to bar and back. Breakfast was overpriced - was originally given a large by mistake - I told the server but she left it with me- I was fiddling with my phone when she returned and then swapped it for a regular after asking if I had touched it. Was not given any butter with the toast and it was all a bit anemic. Had a refill coffee and ordered a mocha and it delivered what looked like dish water. I had presumed it might just be what the coffee was like. I went back for a refil and the machine said use clean cup only - nowhere for me to find a clean cup and despite it being huge there was little in the way of direction - fed up with the previous coffee I resisted same cup on a different machine - this time it seemed better. Just disappointed that I paid £15 for a sub par breakfast and a crap coffee. Should have gone next door for a coffee and a pastry. Staff were friendly though but not overly pleased to see anyone.

Young girl came and struggled to pick up spent salt & pepper sachets due to length of her nails. She didn’t wipe table down either. Ordered food at bar.

Staff amiable and pleasant and the breakfast was...OK. delivered quickly and with courtesy. But... yes, I ordered a small breakfast to be fair but I was somewhat taken back by one mushroom on the plate. One small mushroom. It may be normal for some people but I personally was very disappointed considering one serving of mushrooms for me is well.. a small handful at the least! Hash brown was dry, sausage was cold but that is OK.. just that..sorry..ONE isolated mushroom on the plate was really dissappointing.

I have to eat gluten free. People who have a gluten allergy or intolerance often also have an issue with absorbing nutrients so need nourishing and substantial meals. Unfortunately ready made gluten free foods are often high in bad fats, sugars, and additives… Also, unfortunately, Wetherspoons has recently cut down on it’s already limited gluten free options…. It was difficult to find a good quality gluten free meal at the exhibition Centre. After trying several places, and feeling very hungry and not too well due to that, I went to Wetherspoons. I managed to get something to eat but it was one of the most awful meals I have ever had; and certainly not worth the price….. The only good thing about this particular place were the very helpful and lovely staff, particularly a member of the bar staff, a young girl, about 5’ 4” with blonde hair and glasses, and a young Asian (Indian?) looking man about 5’8”/5”10” They really tried to help but can only do so much with such a limited and poor quality gluten free option menu

After spending 9 hours walking around Crufts we needed some food before we drove home.There are 2 Wetherspoons here and this one is poor.The bar staff are good but the prices do not reflect those that some of my friends, who live in these places, keep praising. I pay less than £4.60 for a pint of Guinness in my local, which is what the price was here.For me the food choice is very limited. Didn’t fancy the 1300 calorie burger or much else to be honest. Stumped for the chicken burger which was dry and served in a bun which resembled cotton wool. My wife had the British Beef Chilli, which she says is the best thing they serve. Where is the a Pub Classic, fish and chips?Will not use this place again and try to manage my meals at the NEC better so save the need to use it as a last resort.

Stopped here for a break from the Caravan show. It’s not particularly big but we were lucky to get a seat. It was busy and there was a huge queue for the bar. Decided to order drinks and food via the app. Limited availability of food on the app but assumed same if ordering from bar. Order placed and food came before the drinks! Having had the chicken burger before thought we were safe. The chicken was dry and bland, the roll (not a fan of brioche rolls) were very dry. It was edible but didn’t really enjoy it. Drinks were very cold which makes a change!Staff were friendly and polite. Prices were higher than other places, the draught Koppaberg was £1 dearer than our local Spoons. Wouldn’t rush back for the food.

Nos detuvimos para tomar una copa mientras estábamos en Motorhome Show. Hemos visitado muchas Wetherspoons en todo el Reino Unido y las bebidas / comida suelen ser las mismas. . . incluidos los precios! No aquí, sorprendido de pagar más de 16 por una botella de vino barato. Teníamos la intención de comer aquí, pero al comprobar los precios de nuestras elecciones habituales, sentimos que nos estafarían. Además, la comida que vimos ser traída (por el personal malhumorado miserable) no parecía apetitosa, así que tuvimos nuestro vino y nos fuimos! Realmente decepcionado ??

We visited the pub at about 2.30 on a saturday afternoon during a busy event at the NEC. We found a couple of tables to put together and promptly ordered. It took half an hour to get our order Which I checked with the waitress as she arrived as one was a vegetarian chilli and one was a meat one. One bite into the vegetarian meal and we discovered it was beef! Both were. Appalled I returned the meal- no apology, it was replaced promptly but still no apology. A vegetarian should not be served meat- this was gross negligence.

Went for a quick lunch before checking into accommodation and we ordered using the app. We waited for about 30 minutes before we thought something was wrong as nothing had come and people around us were being served their food. I politely asked a waitress if they knew if it would be arriving soon and she very coldly asked if I had used the app. She then noted down my order, no apology or anything, it almost felt as though it was my fault. The food finally arrived about 10 minutes later. I understand that these things happen, but the restaurant needs to let customers know that there is a problem with ordering using the app. Food was absolutely fine.

Fui a Weatherspoons en el NEC para almorzar mientras asistía a una conferencia. A pesar de estar antes de la "hora del almuerzo", el personal era lento y no podía usar los cajones electrónicos. La cerveza era débil (incluso agua abajo) y aunque la comida llegó rápidamente, tuvo una sensación producida en masa. Media docena de papas fritas y una hamburguesa de ternera barata en un panecillo de "pan de pato" con una pequeña guarnición lateral. El personal que servía casi tiró los platos sobre la mesa y se fue. Muy caro por la calidad y cantidad que tienes.

We ate here with friends after attending a show at the NEC as we often eat at Wetherspoons so know what to expect. I wanted Lasgane .... And they didn't have any. I also wanted a glass of red wine...... and they didn't have any. I did manage to have chilli and chips and the portions were minuscule and the price expensive, being twice the price we normally pay. The person who brought our food was only just short of being rude as well, showing no customer service skills at all. I understand they had a busy weekend, but isn't every weekend at the NEC busy when they have shows? Stock control needs some attention.

Visited the Emergency Services Show and knew I had a little time to wait fo my train and I fancied a quick meal which was achieved in spite of tyhe place being very busy. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. I chose the Cheese/Bacon Melt which was served piping hot about 5 minutes after placing my order. I chose Carling Lager, The Staff were pleasant going about their duties in a focused manner, clearing tables quickly. No hanging about by anyone here. All in all a satisfactory dining experience. Give them a bonus Tim.

The place was packed - evidently not enough servicing staff. They were like "one armed paper hangers". They literally had no time to speak. Those that did were abrupt reflecting the pressure they were under. Its not first time I've had a bad experience in Wetherspoon's but this is by far the worse . Shall we eat in Wetherspoon's again!!??

No beef burgers, just chicken burgers and a veggie burger on the menu. Tiny portion of oven chips that we burnt on the edges.The sauce on the burger was the texture of grainy cottage cheese.Absolutely extortionate prices for what you get.The serving staff were polite and friendly.

I’m currently sat in Weatherspoons after departing my train from Manchester. Nowhere else was open for a coffee so I ended up in here. The managers on shift have not stopped talking to each other about their boyfriends/ personal problems (not something I opted to here over my coffee). Absolutely awful customer service, it seems ordering a coffee is a chore and I seem to be in their wat of their catch up session. Awful!

This was the worst visit to a Wetherspoons I have experience ever. The manger a guy called Liam was nothing short of a disgrace.

Presently finishing a very drab meal here. I have visited plenty if these restaurants in the past and I'm aware they are franchised. This one at the NEC Birmingham has to be the worst of them. Understandably it is a small unit and so the menu is restricted due to the small kitchen. However this does not excuse the sub-standard food that is served. The tennessee burgers were literally a chicken burger and chips - nothing else, no onion rings or salad. The sauce was cold and the burger tasteless. The price for this was £11.99 inc. drink. Other Wetherspoons offer the burger, fries, onion rings, salad, sauce in a separate bowl for £9.75 inc. drink. If I had realised how rubbish this disappointing 'eatery?' was my party would have used a far superior place.

Our annual trip to the NEC always starts with a Wetherspoons breakfast to set us up for the day...this time yet again did not disappoint only regarding the single butter and jam portions given to my daughter for her two hefty slices of toast but this was easily rectified when she asked for more! Why be so tight when it was so obvious more would be needed?

We went for our main meal and the food was not of any quality my BBQ chicken burger was dry and tasteless. The member of staff who brought the food to the table seemed fed up and lacked politeness in his manor. Overall this is not the service I expect from Wetherspoons. If I return to the NEC I will not ear here again.

Way over priced and small portions. My advice is to go elsewhere.....Subway for instance or take the time to walk to Resort World but this place is a miss!!!

Staff were rushed off their feet but did a great job serving up the food (good size portions). Getting a drink at the bar can take a while though but at lunchtime that is to be expected (there were other tills to use but seemed not enough staff to open them. Does not stay open late inside the NEC

You stood at your show stand all day and all you need is a Wetherspoon's. Even a guy from the states can appreciate that!

The food is AWFUL! Precooked rubbish! He chips arrived and they weren’t even cooked. This place is one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had!!!! Avoid it at all costs.

Typical wetherspoons food is identical to at their pubs. Prices are good for the NEC. I guess it's the good option there as you're not paying over the odds for eating and drinking at a venue.

Stopped in here on the way to a concert at the arena and really wished we hadn’t bothered. First of all we were standing in the middle of the restaurant looking for a seat and were just ignored by staff. I ordered the burger and...

I was staying only 1 night in Birmingham, attending a conference at the ICC. Rather than pay over the odds for a hotel breakfast, I decided to try Wetherspoons which was around the corner.

Stopped here on the way to a concert at Genting Arena and wished we’d waited till we got there to buy our food, as the service was unfriendly, the food was average and we were pretty disappointed with our choice of venue to eat. Sorry...

Ordered a burger at the bar. It arrived almost before I got back to my seat. It was Luke warm at best and looked like it had been hours before. Chips were fresh and ok. There was very little salad and no dressing or onion...

Tried the festive toastie for £4. Turkey cranberry surfing and cheese. I could not eat it !! The margarine used was awful. The turkey was processed. Very cheap and greasey tasting. I do not usually leave food or make a complaint. But due to this experience I felt I need to put pen to paper so to speak. Maybe in in the future just sell a festive sandwich with proper turkey and good quality butter or margarine.

Qué decepcionante, al igual que la comida mejora drásticamente, el tonto propietario ha cambiado a papas fritas congeladas de verdad, qué cosa al revés hacer, es una broma decir que sus papas fritas de servir, no son papas fritas, son papas fritas. Siendo una de las pocas tiendas en la ciudad que vende papas fritas reales de papas reales, ahora comeré en la tienda turca de papas fritas a la vuelta de la esquina. . . . . . así es como se puede decir que solo sirven para personas borrachas que no saben qué día es menos que estén comiendo papas fritas, lástima porque el tipo de la tienda era un buen hombre.
