Food Quality
Pros:
"Food was nicely presented as per menu, was properly cooked and piping hot."
"Breakfast tasted great enjoyed the refills on drinks."
"The food was delicious and piping hot."
"Burgers really tasty and cooked to perfection. My daughter ordered pizza and it looked homemade....tasted amazing."
"Had been here before and the fish and chips were not as good as the weatherspoons normally is my wife had ham eggs and chips which was good so this time I had chicken tikka it was spot on."
"Love this place despite the Prices. Had the best Curry ever in all the Wetherspoons I've been in."
"Food was OK for a Wetherspoons nothing to complain about, fairly quick service."
Cons:
"Food was awful! My chicken was solid!!"
"There was an actual dead maggot in one of the dishes (risotto)."
"The food was average and lukewarm, would not recommend."
"Our bowl of chips to share were Luke warm at best and tasted like they had been left out for a while."
"Came here for a breakfast food was cold and the black pudding was that hard you could knock someone out with it or use it as a hockey puck chef needs sacking."
"Food was an absolute disgrace! Putting it mildly.. we ordered the “large mixed grill” only because it had an egg with it as the normal mixed grill didn’t! The egg was inedible solid and rather crispy!"
"The food was disgusting and cold and the plates were dirty."
Service
Pros:
"Nice little Wetherspoons near the Tower. Services was good and the food was the usual Wetherspoons standard."
"But fair play to our waitress she has gone the extra mile o correct things."
"Staff are excellent and very well organised unlike some shambles Wetherspoons we've been to....... Loving it"
"All 3 of us ordered and received what we wanted. Food was above average. Service was great even though it was busy and staff must have been under pressure."
"Very impressed with the service. It was quite busy at lunchtime, but it was only a really short wait from ordering meals to them being delivered to our table."
"Very easy to get in using the app and table service was quite quick."
"The staff were friendly and attentive."
Cons:
"The person in charge at the front door, telling people to scan the NHS app and what table to sit at, could maybe do with a bit of training in customer service."
"Staff not over attentive."
"Bar was nice gents needed a clean. One staff member upstairs was very rude."
"Staff very loud, two of the waitresses were having a lovely conversation about breastfeeding!"
"Service was absolutely appalling, 7/8 people waiting at the bar whilst the duty manager and a team member served one customer!"
"Absolute disgrace waited 20minutes at the bar to get served 5 staff behind it 2 serving rest just pottering about doing nothing."
"Staff definitely need customer service training. What right does the snotty barmaid have to question whether my partner is disabled enough to use the disabled toilet."
Cleanliness
Pros:
"Good size toilets and plenty."
"There is an upstairs in the Layton Rakes where there are more tables, seating and a bar. Toilets are also located upstairs and we're very clean."
"I know it was early morning but the whole place was really clean."
"It was nice seeing the cleaner finishing off his high level dusting before i sat down."
"Like most Weatherspoons the toilets are upstairs but a lift is available."
"Felt very safe staff made you feel safe they have got the social distancing down to a tee."
"A busy Wetherspoons with a friendly atmosphere on 3 floors (there is a terrace on the roof for sunny days)."
Cons:
"We tried 6 hand sanitizer dispensers (as were other people), the one at the entrance, bottom and top of stairs and upstairs bar, all of which were empty."
"Crowded, busy, and in need of more staff to keep on top of the dirty glasses and crockery."
"The place was a mess too with empty glasses and plates left on many tables!!!"
"The toilets well what can I say but I think they have a major drainage problem there at the minute they smell horrible."
"I went to the toilet and I couldn't believe the smell in the ladies it was revolting, needs a good clean."
"Clean own high chair as filthy (not been cleaned all day by looks of it)."
"Baby changing facilities so disgusting we left and used somewhere else."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Much better than the ones of sea front and a lot less busy."
"First evening visit to the Layton Rakes. Thoroughly enjoyed it, it was Halloween weekend and many customers in fancy dress which obviously added to the atmosphere."
"Great pub and if you know wetherspoon pubs you will know what to expect. This one has a large roof top garden on the third floor with its own bar up there as well."
"Lovely afternoon enjoying a few drinks."
"Great place to relax and eat in Blackpool. Plenty of tables, multiple floors. Nice atmosphere, good service and the later night food small plate options was very welcome and delivery to our table was efficient on both visits."
"It's incredibly lovely and cozy pub during summer with its rooftop bar and seating area and during winter with its cozy open fire and wonderful menu."
"Lovely cosy pub on a cold winter day/night, we went in here a couple of times and sat in front of the Lovely big open fire."
Cons:
"Bit cramped as tables are quite close together."
"What spoiled the visit was 3 large women, drunk and very very loud to the point we had to move tables."
"3 large women were very drunk and actually falling of the chairs. OK just having a fun night out but the screeching sounded like a troop of monkeys and was a bit off putting."
"The staff did not seem to care or do anything to make them lower the volume slightly."
"Staff not aware of a group of lads vaping inside the pub, effing and blinding, drinking cocktails out of a jug!"
"Depends on when you visit this place, we visited Saturday & Sunday lunchtime & thought that it was just too packed to eat comfortably."
"What a dump. Reminded me of a 1980s Working Men's Club."
Value
Pros:
"Not expensive at all and they always have good deals on food and drinks."
"Definitely recommend a visit.🙂"
"Good selection of ales and spirits."
"I always look forward to having a mixed grill here it is absolutely fantastic, staff are brilliant the prices are second to none and the atmosphere is always welcoming."
"Can't fault the cost of the food and alcohol. Usual standard."
"Being a Wetherspoons Pub/Diner, the prices here are good, and they sell Punk IPA at a very reasonable price (less than £4 a pint)."
"Came for a nice of real ale and a wine for my wife, while we were sitting down a member of staff going around with a flyer for fish and chip for only £3-99 so we order two lots and had another drink absolutely brilliant value for money."
