Wetherspoons - Sheffield

Well we went for some dinner I got a double burger and my partner got a chicken and bacon panini what a joke it was there was more chicken I a pound bakery pastie and I got about 10 chips with my burger I know it’s cheap but there is a limit what a joke

The former bank in Sheffield is a barn of a place covering two floors, and although known for reasonably-priced liquid refreshments, the menu looked interesting. I'd not been to one for years and by guest, despite being beyond the age of retirement, had never been to a Wetherspoon's before. We went in with an ITVbe expectation but came away having had a surprisingly BBC2 experience! The premises were heaving with a very friendly clientele, all chaperoned by equally friendly and very attentive, efficient staff. I ordered my usual bar fare, the fish and chips and it ended up being the best piece of fish I have eaten in a long time. Beautifully moist and well-cooked fish and nil oil/grease, superb chips and for the first time I can remember, mushy peas that didn't require three glasses of water to eliminate the saltiness. My guest, from the Middle East, was surprised at the sheer quality of the Mediterranean salad, accompanied by an extra portion of tuna mayonnaise that he said was so good he couldn't mix it into the salad, preferring to eat it as a side. We accompanied the meal with a couple of soft drinks, served in a glass (without having to ask for one) and with ice. And for such a bust pub, clean toilets. And all for change out of £20. Love him or loathe him, Tim Martin needs a pat on the back for this Wetherspoon's. Lesson: Never judge a book by its cover.

We went for lunch and found the restaurant to be busy. The upstairs area was mostly occupied by younger people, while the ground floor was filled with older patrons. There was a lot of noise in the restaurant. The few empty tables had not been cleared, so I had to ask for a table to be cleaned before ordering. I ordered ham, eggs, and chips, while my wife had a jacket potato with three bean chili. Although I was warned that the plate was hot, the food did not seem very hot. The chili my wife had was not very spicy and was served with the potato, rather than as a filling. The portions were decent, but not overly generous, considering the price. The meals came with a complimentary drink, so we had coffee. Hot drinks were self-serve from a machine with unlimited refills.

Yesterday, 10 of my friends and I went to Wetherspoons for a meal and drinks. We sat at table 42 and had a great experience. Although our order was slightly mixed up, Harry quickly resolved the issue with no problem at all. It was the best customer service I've seen in a long time. Thank you to Harry and all the staff for their hard work on a busy Saturday. Despite the packed restaurant, our food came out together thanks to the amazing staff.

The wrong meal was brought to our table initially, with almost cold peas. My husband's mixed grill had tough meat and a mushroom that was so tough he couldn't even cut it. The chips were also almost cold. We have dined at Wetherspoon many times before, but we have never had a meal as bad as this one.
