Wetherspoons the Great Glen in Highland

We arrived as a large group and service was immediately, unfortunately poor. Our food took over a hour to arrive and half of the menu items were unavailable. This was not told to us immediately and to my dismay, staff still accepted payment for menu items that they weren’t serving at the time without telling us the crucial fact that they were not actually serving those things. This meant that the one of the people in our party had no idea and waited well over an hour for food that was not coming. Many of the food portions were minuscule and considering the prices, were 110% not worth purchasing. At the end of our night, we asked for a takeaway box for the food which was served exceedingly late to us to eat later. The staff member was actually quite lovely, considering he was informing us that they did not, in fact have takeaway boxes but they had grease proof bags! For an English Breakfast. Other issues included egg shells in our food and the merry predicament of half of the ladies toilets being clogged and the other half without locks. That being said, they had pretty plates and despite the fact that the portions were mouse-like, my halloumi burger was rather tasty, if not incredibly dry, hence earning this not-so fine establishment a 2/5 rather than a 1.

Perfect for a drink and a good price to boot . Food was okay but the price included a drink if it didn’t I would have been more disappointed .. of course we will go again as it’s a Wetherspoons but I won’t have the fish and chips . Shame as so close to the water I thought it might have been better

Au vu des avis déjà notés, nous sommes allés manger dans ce restaurant car c’était un des seuls ouverts. Accueil correct, prix plutôt élevé pour ce qu’il y avait dans l’assiette et pour la qualité du produit.

Called in here last week while on a coach tour as the wife wanted a latte. Found a table but it had not been cleaned down. A man was serving by himself and the queue was building up. He asked another member of staff to take over and he disappeared. The young girl started serving but had to get a tray of clean glasses from the other end of the bar. It finally became my turn to be served aftet 15mins. I asked for a latte and was asked would a paper cup do as there was no cups left. No wonder they were still waiting to be cleared off the tables and to be washed. When i sat back down i saw the barman who was serving before serving meals. One customer got the spray off the bar to clean her table down. Another woman with her child left to go to macdonalds. I hope the management read these reviews and take appropriate action as i cant reccomend this bar.

We wished we had read the recent reviews as it appears that we are not the only people to find this. We were some of the first people in the doors and were greeted by dirty tables and staff that didn’t appear to want to be working in a job that deals with people and customers. Staff were rude and found simple tasks of wiping tables too much to ask for. Weatherspoons need to get a grip of this! We won’t be returning which is a shame as we’ve been many times before. Morrisons down the road was cleaner, more friendly and deserving of our custom.

Visited here whilst on our Scottish road trip, drinks night before were served well, cheap and decent bar staff. The breakfast 🤢. The waitresses were rushed off their feet trying their best, but we're a bit rude, really didnt acknowledge us when we had queries. The breakfast was warm served on a cold plate. We had to ask for coffee cups as they didn't acknowledge / accept our app order. Even though we had the email to say thankyou for your order. A quick chat with the lad behind the bar and he sorted it. So in all not the best, I'm sure there short staffed. Come on Mr spoonies sort it out please.

The usual pub fare and choice of drinks. A bit more expensive than other Wetherspoon's I have visited, but Fort William is in the hearth of a very touristic area, so prices are higher.

Went here with my brother to treat him to a Scottish breakfast as he is home from united states on holiday. Order medium Scottish breakfasts. It was absolutely disgusting. Never seen a tattie Scone like it. As you can see in photo, we put it to rest.

Good choice of food and beers at reasonable prices. Very crowded at lunch but still managed to deliver order promptly. The water staff were very attentive.

Once again a pleasant visit for lunch and a thirst quencher. Fast friendly service in a lovely pub with plug points and WiFi. Will I be back? 100% Yes

Posto ideale per cenare, poiché servono da mangiare fino a tardi. Buon cibo, prezzi modici rispetto alla media e locale tipico. Unica nota negativa (per chi viaggia con bambini): potete trattenervi solo fino alle 22. Per il resto, OK!

It is what it says on the tin. Basic, cheap, bar like food. Screaming kids everywhere, Getting a free, clean table with no left over food, lying on the table and floor. The food filled a space, no frills. I may have caught this on a bad day. Who knows.

Mala atención, buena comida Atención del personal grosera, excepto Gisele y el encargado joven, el resto bastante desagradable Además el aire acondicionado muy frío cuando fuera hacia 18 grados Nunca hay classic steak, siempre se acabó Fecha de la visita: julio de 2024

Leider waren in Fort William die besseren Lokale alle voll und so musste ich hierher ausweichen. Das Essen ist eben das Pub-Essen der Kette. Besonders lästig war, das die Hälfte der Dinge an einem Sonntag abend um 19.30 aus waren - kein Salat, kein Haggis, dies nicht und das nicht. Am Ende wurde es Grillplatte mit Pommes. Das war ok, wobei das Fleisch sicher keine glücklichen Hochlandrinder und -lämmer waren. Der Service ist ok, aber man merkt, dass das keiner aus Interesse oder Freude am Beruf macht.

Visited Fort William today decided to try here for food boy what a waste of time. We found a table which was sticky not very clean, sat down decided what we wanted then I went to bar to order. I gave my table no & proceeded to say what we wanted only to have a menu plonked in front of me with more scribbles than choice to pick from. I understand one or two things might not be available but at least 1/2 the menu was a joke. We promptly left without ordering & went further down the street & had a lovely meal with plenty of choice I for one won’t be back

Visited today for a quick snack . Nachos to share were disgusting. Nachos were cold, couldn’t see any cheese and the dips were thrown on the top not even stirred so just dollops . The table was wobbly so they had magazines trying to stabilise it. Radiator was leaking so our feet got wet? The manager didn’t seem too bothered when I highlighted all this ? Unacceptable! Stay clear 😂

Went there sat afternoon to watch Wales play rugby as it's advertised everywhere young boy behind bar turned up volume for us to watch 2 mins later management turned it off disgusting me and partner left drinks on table and walked out what a way to treat customers

Came in just after lunch after a visit to Fort William- weather was really bad so the place was extremely busy . This being said there was plenty of seating, food was absolutely fine and an excellent selection of wines. The staff here were really nice too. Thank you!

Lovely place fab food good staff good prices well situated in fort William been many times and will go again nice athmosphere

Called in here on a few occasions since it opened. I always hope there will be an improvement, but it remains consistently below average. Poor choice of Real Ale & semi-warm breakfasts seem to be the norm. Last visit here was with family member & we were both distinctly underwhelmed. Previous visit with a friend who is a big Wetherspoons aficionado rated it 65th out of the 66 he’d visited!! Plenty of better options in Fort William.

Everything on the same level, toilets.Big inside food was good but the price of beer was not much cheaper than pubs around....£4:40 Carling in normal pubs £3:98 in spoons

Weatherspoons……never….fail……we….travelled….for….a…month….in…scotland….and…always…found…..thisbe…value….and…the..one…in…fort…william…was the…same…..very…good…..on…a…pedestrian…..parking….abit….an..issue

I would say this was a functional Wetherspoons, adequate but I wouldn't rush back. Food was passable but no more, service was reasonable, it was busy but managed to find a table. Food prices have really gone up in Wetherspoons so the value isn't what it was hence my mixed review. I went elsewhere for the other 2 nights I stayed in Fort William.

Worst place I’ve have eaten in, how the food can be freshly cook when it comes out as fast as it did is beyond me and to top it off I was extremely unwell after eating there and a few of my friends had upset stomach’s

This is a really good Wetherspoons. The food is very good and the beer is kept well. The staff really work hard to make your visit a good experience. The duty manager when we visited in the evenings (Jacob) went out of his way to help with advice on everything we asked him. Well worth a visit when your in Fort William.

Don’t eat here!Service officious sent away to wait 3 mins to order to fit their timing. In 60 mins not 1 table wiped down! A pool of coffee sat while the table was renewed 3 times. I eventually offered some sanitary wipes to a couple who looked very uncomfortable about the coffee and after wiping it up placed them on my own plate which was finished. The only way it got dealt with. Unhygienic table service so hope the kitchen is better.

There is not much to say other than it is your usual run-of-the-mill Spoons. The food was pretty mediocre as you'd normally expect - slightly better than school cafeteria food, but not restaurant-quality. You can get unlimited coffee / hot chocolate etc. which you get yourself from a self-serve machine. This was great. The service was smiley and friendly. The highlight was that the table next to us ordered too many chips and so gave us theirs - thank you v. much whoever you were! You were a lovely family :)

Spectacular customer service from Jacob who was knowledgeable about our wine and ale preferences. It was refreshing to speak to a real person. The pub is well proportioned and has some quiet areas. Staff were extremely attentive to cleanliness when they weren’t serving. Probably the best Wetherspoon pub I’ve visited.

11am Saturday morning. Over 20 min wait.Food sat on hotplate along with about 8 other breakfasts.Cold when arrived.Not kitchen fault. Definitely waiting staff, but place wasn't busy.

My wife and I came to Wetherspoons Fort William on the way home from a trip further up north. We were immediately pleasantly surprised by the decor, it was definitely one of the nicest Wetherspoons we have ever visited. The food was lovely, bathrooms immaculate and we had zero complaints. What absolutely blew us away however were the staff. In front of us were a family who could not speak English, the lady who served them broke into a different language which we assumed to be Gaelic but when it was our turn I enquired and she informed me that it was Spanish. She was patient and friendly and said that she was learning other languages so that she could help tourists to order. I don’t usually get round to reviewing eateries but I was so impressed with the staff here that it felt rude not to. Bravo

We left when we realised how they had hiked the prices up due to it being in Fort William. Spoons food is spoons food wherever you are in the UK but 3 small plates for £18.75 when its £14 in our local one made us check the menu and realise everything had been hiked up by 3 or 4 quid. We had a drink and went elsewhere. Something for us to bare in mind next time we visit a spoons in a tourist spot.

Quick service, clean, does what it says on the tin.... Prices for food and drink are always competitive and the quick food service is great when you're hungry.

We popped in here and was surprised! Ordered food via app. No problems. Food was good, pizzas were good and burger was tasty. Could not fault and if you want something super fancy this is not your place! But friendly staff and good food and in a great location makes it a great place to go! First Wetherspoon!

Fue el primer restaurante que nos recomendaron y allá que fuimos. Pedimos 2 fish and chips y cada uno nos lo sirvieron con un acompañante distinto. Estaba muy rico y el local era agradable, aunque había jaleo ese día. Son bastante rápidos. Lo recomiendo bastante

Been at this Whetherspoons restaurant in Fort William a few times,had fish and chips,pizzas and chicken breast here,staff are well trained and friendly,toilets very clean and shiny as they should be everywhere. Definitely a place you can always come back to eat and drink in...

I’m a big Wetherspoons fan. Good value, great choice and reasonable portions. Sadly this was the most disappointing Wetherspoons experience I’ve ever had. The menu has about half the choice of any other Wetherspoons I’ve been in, and the prices are also higher. Given that...

Broad menu, largest drink selection, I’ve seen around, great location, tons of table and pub space. Reasonable prices!

Cena veloce, menù chiaro e completo di tante informazioni, sistema di ordinazione innovativo. Molto frequentato e con personale molto disponibile....

Called in here for a drink when in Fort William for the day. Good friendly service and a decent pint. Very good.

Dinner here was not good staff attitude food was Luke warm couldn’t cater for gluten free staff member argued with us as she had got order wrong We had been recommended this but very disappointed

Le pire des restaurants ! Nos 3 plats différents étaient tous infects. En plus il y avait beaucoup de monde...

Disappointed by this visit, as we have enjoyed quite a few earlier visits to this establishment. The menu choice is poor compared to other pubs in the same chain, and the chips were barely warm.

Called into Witherspoons for dinner on a Monday night. Menu uninspiring so I chos to play it safe with haddock and chips. I said to my husband "it's pretty hard to stuff up fish and chips!" How wrong I was! The fish was spectacularly bad...

Popped in with brother & mum to get out of the rain whilst we waited for the bus back to the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to see new drinks on the menu & so we thought we’d give them a go. The bar team...

Disappointed- visited many Weatherspoons and there was no Thursday Curry menu on the tables, ordered from the main menu no mango chutney, Nan tasted like it was warmed slightly, rice was sticking together - would have been better with a ping meal from a supermarket....

Was staying at Travelodge upstairs so popped down here for breakfast. Served very quickly by friendly staff and ordered small plate breakfast. Came quickly and was hot and fresh. Simple food, good value and very good location

Went there twice during our recent visit for the SSDT. The fact that the place wasn't rammed should have set alarms ringing! Beer was mediocre and a whopping 55p a pint (real ale) more expensive than our usual Wetherspoon. Food was similarly more expensive and...

AMAZING STAFF!!!!!! My friend and I were here for dinner and drinks, and we stayed until close. As soon as we got back to our b&b, we realized we didn’t have the key!! Locked out at midnight, we took a cab back to the wetherspoons...

Usual wetherspoons, you know what you are getting. Nice and clean. A bit pricey compared to other Wetherspoons but in a big tourist place you expect this.

The food we ordered in Wetherspoons Fort William arrived 55minutes later, at a time when the establishment seemed to be be fairly quiet, as in, not busy at all. When it did eventually arrive, our kids chips and my husband's curry was somewhere between stone...

Lovely bar in main street.. Excellent value and friendly staff... best scampi we've had... delicious... large room but still felt cosy.

Up on business and I came here every night. Excellent food and very appreciative and polite staff. I would highly recommend this bar for drinks and food. Don’t pay any attention to the negativity from others !! It’s a great place

Nous avons manger un fish and chips qui était délicieux. Le personnel étaient gentilles et professionnels rien à redire.

I had spent the day working up an apatite walking on the beautiful Ben and was really looking forward to something nice. Looking through the window from the High Street I saw a busy Great Glen and went in. I asked for the Fish and...

Went for the first time last Saturday whilst visiting Fort William. A very modern Wetherspoons which had a nice atmosphere. There was a problem with the cofee machine but it seemed to get sorted out pretty quickly. Will definitely visit again when back in Fort...

We visited this Wetherspoons while visiting Fort William, we had a dinner and couple of pins in the evening. It was a very nice evening, although they run out of hallumi fries. We will visit in the future.

Quick sharp service not equal portions for some meal , Shame off putting bowl lettuce and hard / brioche buns not the best

Clean excellent staff but very very disappointed no meal deals for the family always choose Witherspoon's for value meals were more expensive than other Witherspoon's we have visited

We stayed in the Travel Lodge which is next door to this pub and so we made it our restaurant of choice for the family. You get good value at a Wetherspoons and that is what we found here. My wife even questioned the beer...

Be aware that this is probably the most expensive Weatherspoons in Britain. I always thought Weatherspoons was about value for money. NOT this one.

Well what can you say. They serve "exactly what they say on the tin". Great value for money. £10 for a meal course and a pint of beer, come on who can complain at that price. Just remember not the place for fancy beer or...

Late lunch in here to escape a rain shower, wish we hadn’t bothered. I ordered fish & chips. Supposed to be fresh fish. It was disgusting, not at all fresh. You can tell if fish is fresh by the white fish. This was slightly grey...

Was not sure what to expect being honest, the place was very busy but we managed to get a table and got food ordered, service was very quick and the food was of a very high standard definitely could not fault it and is very...

This was just the spot for a standard hamburger, onion rings, and beer after a successful hike to the top of Ben Nevis. Hunger and thirst taken care of. At 6PM on a Wednesday when we visited, about one fourth os the tables were occupied....

Menu has been highly reduced like most of hospitality to try and keep up woth demand woth the staff shortages. Dean one of the duty managers is fantastic, he is where ever he is needed and has the team working well together and working with...

Good food, ate here a few times while on a short break. Would highly recommend the cooked veggie breakfast. Great service and friendly staff.

We hiked up Ben Nevis, and in our return we visited the great Glen to celebrate. What a shock, this place is really expensive, I could not believe it. Just a rip off. The hike up Ben Nevis was incredible, but it was out done...

Called in here on our way through to a holiday cottage in the Highlands. Have visited many many wetherspoons and like to seek them out when we go somewhere new. Pail £9.10 for a pint and a half! To say I was flabbergasted is an...

Visited whilst on Holiday. The prices are incredibly inflated compared to other Wetherspoons up by about 40%, just shocking. Avoid at all costs. Completely ripping off the tourists. Are Wetherspoons corporate aware of what is going on here?

Prices are ridiculously high and menu incredibly limited. No desserts, not one! Much better going to one of the local small businesses now as it seems Wetherspoons are ripping off tourists. Beer far more expensive than central London or Edinburgh. Staff were lovely and working...

In area on regular business. Perhaps Wetherspoons can explain and justify how, in the space of two weeks, this pub can cut its menu by two thirds and increace its prices for what remains by over 50%? Making it not only the POOREST value in...

Most expensive wetherspoons I have ever visited, walked out, the cheapest pint was 3.99 for Bud light, 5.59 for tennents, local pubs are 3.55 for tennents, absolute rip off, avoid at all costs, unless you have money to burn, atmosphere is terrible as well

After a few days wild camping we were looking forward to a Wetherspoons breakfast. Wherever we are we always seek out the local Spoons as it is always value for money. Some are better than others. We were shocked to see the price of a...

Fine restaurant for a quick dinner. We ordered bites and main course but everything came at once. Service was quick and food was okay. Not great but certainly not bad!

Food as always absolutely fine . What i did notice is why is this Particular Wetherspoons in Fort William so much more expensive than anywhere else in the UK even London Fleet Street? Inverness is also ‘normal ‘ prices Eg simple beef curry and a...

Called in on a Monday night in late May and we were very disappointed with the lack of choice of real ale and the general grubby feel of the place. The toilets were not at all pleasant and looked as if they had not been...

Did not go with high expectations, as weatherspoons normally cheap and cheerful, but expect to be edible, steaks were tough as old boots, with half the weight being gristle, unable to chew and setting aside, no peas, tomatoes onion rings and mushrooms came with it...

Abby from Oban who was covering in a few simple sentences was in less than two minutes able to explain a few queries I had about food and ordering and took on board praise at how helpful and polite the staff are to a loyal...

Visited a few times over our stay in the beautiful Fort William, food was excellent on every visit, staff were great, and a shout out to Ben for making us feel so welcome!

Packed but still managed to provide great service. My advice is get a table and use the app to order. This is a great way to avoid the queues at the bar.

So we have been home a week so I can write a review comparing it with others. I can say without any hesitation that this Wetherspoons is an amazing place , I have not seen harder working staff as I did last week, Andreus the...

It took the low quality fast food 55 mins to get to our table We asked for a partial refund and were ignored. The food wasn’t tasty. Don’t eat here..

Decided to eat here early evening and was very disappointed. Not only had they ran out of all beef burgers they had no fish other than scampi and were very limited on steaks. We were 2 families eating together however after placing one order the...

Called in for bite to eat but all though food not bad staff were not too obliging. Good value however as always with Wetherspoons.
