The Woodthorpe Top - JD Wetherspoon Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Cole is an enthusiastic member of staff and a credit to the business with assisting customers and being genuinely interested in them."
• "Had a large breakfast with every mushrooms and extra egg and it was lovely and really tasty."
• "Great value food with a good selection of beers and wine. Two of the three meals we ordered were great but the chicken on the third was tough."
• "Spoons food comes down to how well the chefs prep and reheat the non grilled food that Spoons gets from their central factory... This one is pretty damn good, chefs do good with what they've got and it's great value for money."
• "Had a pint of Jester which was so good I stopped for another."
• "Had Wednesday lunch here with friends. Social distancing good, table service was quick and food up to Wetherspoons standard."
• "Food has ways been very good and service excellent. Very vibrant atmosphere with all age ranges."
• "The food, beer and service are still good but the last two times I've visited they have been trying to clean out some kind of internal drain!!"

Cons:

• "I was quite disappointed with my recent visit to The Woodthorpe Top - JD Wetherspoon. I encountered multiple issues during my breakfast, including the presence of eggshells and even a piece of spall in my meal."
• "However my steak was more gristle than meat."
• "The food is average in the extreme, but you get what you pay for, and it is possible to have a meal and a drink at a very affordable price."
• "Food oily and not always hot. The drinks came *after* the food was delivered, which was a bit odd."
• "Had a American double cheeseburger today, wasn’t very good at all, had about 3 little squares of red onion on it, and also got around ten chips to go with it, not really good value for money tbh."
• "Went for a breakfast and I was impressed how they managed to serve everything cold. After waiting 20 mins cold beans with skin cold hash brown."
• "The food was 50/50 ordered steak and when it arrived the food was hot apart from the chips which was cold."
• "The chilli con carne wasn't nice it was crispy in parts and the sour cream was off really lumpy and watery at the bottom."

Service

Pros:

• "We arrived about 5.45 and the place was packed. We ordered food and drinks which arrived fairly quickly."
• "I met up with a couple of my ex work friends got a drink from the bar very friendly staff member ordered food on the app coz we were sat outside food came very quickly and was delicious."
• "The service was speedy. So, why only one star for the service? Because the table was dirty."
• "Went in for some lunch at 12:00. It was very busy and only one young lady on the bar and she was keeping up as best she could."
• "The staff were great, the food was OK (desserts were nice) but you don't go to Wetherspoons for atmosphere."
• "Staff are always so friendly here. Great menu and fantastic prices. You can't beat it on value for money."
• "Good food and drinks. Modern pub with good atmosphere. Good value drinks and food. It is a Wetherspoons so you know exactly what to expect."
• "Great pub, nice food although multiple items we ordered were out of stock. Staff were very apologetic and very efficient."

Cons:

• "Slow service, thanks to Tim Martin for overworking and understaffing, which makes the beer & food so cheap!"
• "When we arrived we were told by the bouncers that they weren't letting people in because the manager had changed the closing time."
• "The manager then comes over to our table to say we need to leave and accuses my cousin of trying to steal drinks."
• "The service was clumsy. Error on the menu meant the drink we wanted was not available."
• "The service was ok. The food was fairly fast however my medium rare steak came out well done and my friends well done was almost burnt!"
• "Terrible service, Rude staff. Was turned away because family was to big even though there was plenty of space for 8 of us!"
• "Service is abysmal the manageress is more concerned with restocking shelves than serving customers if this was her own business she would not be open long."
• "Shocking service even worse management Victoria the so called manager was so rude and unhelpful never in my life of eating out have I come across someone with no social skills whatsoever."
