  “Our experience at Wetherspoons Solihull was appalling. A 20 year old had there alcoholic drink ordered in a meal deal removed from our table despite having a screen shot of her age and proof of identity. We was then informed we had to pay for a replacement non alcoholic drink and no refund was given for the Initial drink purchased. The only reason why we were told that she couldn't have alcohol was because screenshots of photo and date of birth were not accepted”

  “It's a Wetherspoons, good reasonably priced beer, decent food and plenty of seating. If you just want to pop out for a few drinks and food without spending too much, where people are out enjoying an evening too, with no TVs and no music, then try this place.”

  “Ordered a large breakfast with a couple changes but the Staff was friendly and patient, had a coffee which was unlimited for £1.89. Food came quickly, no complaints from me. The pub was somewhat busy, staff constantly walking clearing tables. Definitely will be back.”

  “Shocking time… went in for a few drinks with friends after the England versus dr Congo match. Was met with a pair of rolling eyes from waiter Mitch when I asked for a pint of Diet Coke. We were barely there 10 minutes when I came back from the toilet to find my drink gone. Manager Lauren had taken my SOFT drink claiming I was too DRUNK. I’ve been sober for 5 years and was deeply hurt by this. Granted, my mates perhaps had a skin full but that’s besides the point. Awful and pointless trip, should’ve gone home straight after the football, utterly disgusting service AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”

  “Its been a while since I last came here as the food wasn't great then but thought we'd give it another try, the food was alright although my order came out wrong, wrong drinks and thungs missing from what was ordered, when we tried to get some service to fix it i had to ask 3 times as no one came back to us and in the end we just had what we were given and left because we couldn't wait amy longer so not great again, I'll leave it another couple of years before i return again, see if it gets any better but so far 2 experiences within 2 years of each other and both weren't up to scratch, i know its cheap but other wetherspoons do much better so i know it can be better what it is.”

  “Been about three years since I've been in here. Today I enjoyed a veggie breakfast and a coffee for 4.58£. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, and all credit to the cook. The only disappointment was the wait to be served. The pub was really quiet, and the staff weren't seeing who was waiting. The chap that served me was very pleasant, though. A revisit in January 2026 and received quality service 👌”

  “This is my first ever review and I know it's a spoons at the end of the day but I'm so upset and disappointed by the treatment from the staff. I'm sorry this is a bit long. We ordered a wrap and showed a written message to explain easier the order. A chicken wrap with no Chipotle mayo, as it was for a child who found the sauce spicy, and a gammon with an extra egg. The wrap had the Chipotle mayo in it and the gammon had no chips. When we mentioned it, the staff didn't seem to care at all and said then you need to take it (the food) to the bar and pay for more chips. But the meal comes with chips and the written oder we showed never said 'no chips' . During this my friend had to have her food on the bar whilst she spoke to the bar staff and the waitress refused to deal with the issue at the table, telling my friend she had to go to the bar (with her food). This felt unprofessional and a lack of care. This wasn't what promoted me to review. I work at a bar with a restaurant , I've dealt with busy Saturdays and I know how easy it is to make a simple mistake. As much of an eye roll that is to mention. But it was the lack of care that upset me. The girl with the long ginger hair in the updo hairstyle with a ribbon bow was incredibly rude, slamming the drinks on the table near the end of the night not saying a word and leaving. But when I ordered my food to the wrong table, which of course is my fault, nothing was done. When I asked my partner to speak to the staff again they gave him the brownie that had clearly been sitting on the side in the kitchen for half an hour. The ice cream was melted, the brownie was cold and crumbling and it very much felt like an f you. The issue I had was that I felt as though we were polite when we raised the issues with the food order of my friend and was met with an unprofessional response. The waitress (the one mentioned above with the ginger hair in a ponytail with a bow) said you have to go to the bar and pay for more chips (that are included in the meal) and left without listening to my friend. The food was then allowed to stay on the bar, the staff did not offer to put it under a hot light whilst discussing the issue. Then when I mentioned the brownie to the staff, they said I put the table in wrong and that seemed to be that. Because of that almost £6 was lost. I understand it was my fault that I put the table in wrong but to give me the dried cold brownie with melted ice cream when my partner asked again felt incredibly rude and unhygienic considering it had sat on the side of the kitchen for over half an hour now. I want to mention not all the staff were rude. The guy with the short mid length dirty blonde hair was lovely and the staff were clearly working hard. The slender girl with platinum blonde hair in the updo was also lovely. But I felt incredibly dismissed and the response we received from some was incredibly cold and a complete lack of professionalism. I'm really upset by the service we received”

  “Update: have been a few times now and the food hasn't been up scratch. There is always something missing in one of our meals. Latest one was ordering an ultimate burger which was missing the bacon. Went to The White Sawn for lunch. Had to get past people smoking right outside the door. Once inside there was ample seating and we managed to get a nice clean table. We ordered from the app; the drinks and food arrived promptly after. The pizza we ordered was the right size as advertised and roughly the size of the plate. It was generously topped as well and tasted good. The fish and chips were also cooked well and you got a reasonable portion of chips in comparison to some of the small portions at other weatherspoons. Overall a good experience with fast service and good portion sizes. The only negative is to be prepared to go past the people sitting and smoking right by the only entrance (maybe they should move the smoking area)!”
