About The Stamford Post

On Sheep Market in Stamford, The Stamford Post is a Wetherspoons pub serving British fare to walk-ins, with no reservations taken. The menu runs from a small breakfast and porridge with blueberries to fish and chips, steak and ale pudding, and "the big smoke." Orders go through an app that shows an estimated wait time rather than a counter queue. A beer garden sits at the front, by the pub's single entrance. There's no parking on site, though town centre car parks are available nearby.

Customer Review Summary

Low prices draw the most praise, with reviewers describing a familiar 'Spoons experience of a cold pint, great coffee, and a cheap meal, including small plates on Monday. Friendly, quick staff come up repeatedly alongside the prices. Food gets mixed reports. One diner found a small fish and chips cooked to perfection, while another portion on a different visit was bad, and the small breakfast arrived cold. A steak and ale pudding was described as fatty, though the big smoke was fine. Cleanliness is the main complaint. Reviewers mention filthy tables and dirty urinals, and one reports seeing food handled with bare hands. Others note slow service and tables left uncleared on a busy Saturday lunchtime, plus a dark interior with smokers gathered around the only entrance. One diner who ordered an extra portion of blueberries with porridge was told the double portion was already in the bowl, and counted about ten blueberries.

    “A nice Wetherspoons, lovely friendly staff and quick service”

    “Generally good - a bit dark inside and isn't helped by a front beer garden with the smokers all around the only entrance.”
  • Keith Porter
    “⭐ 1/5 — AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER I honestly don’t know where to begin. The staff didn’t seem to know what was actually on their own menu, which is pretty impressive for a restaurant. Then I saw food being handled and served with bare hands without any obvious hand-washing beforehand. The toilets weren’t exactly an improvement either. The urinals were visibly dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. And then, to top it all off, the manager was openly criticising staff in front of customers. Whatever problems are happening behind the scenes, customers shouldn’t have to sit there and watch management deal with them. And the fish and chips were horrible. The whole meal was a massive disappointment and absolutely not worth what I paid for it. So we’ve got staff who don’t know the menu, worrying food-handling practices, dirty toilets, management criticising staff in front of customers, and food that wasn’t even enjoyable. I came here expecting a decent meal and instead got a front-row seat to complete organisational chaos. The only thing this place served consistently was disappointment. ⭐ 1/5 — Sort out the food, hygiene, toilets, menu AND management.”

    “What a beautiful little Wetherspoons. Service, staff, food and drinks were spot on, wish it was down the road from me. Should also mention the very fair price 13.54 for two drinks and 3 small plates, Monday prices of course”
  • Andy Brown
    “Had a small breakfast and 2 small fish and chips over a cpl of weeks in this place. See for yourselves. One of the fish and chips was ace for the price. Cooked to perfection and with a nice piece of fish! The other was potentially something they found under the unit the fryer is sat on! Gopping. Small breakfast was perfect if you don’t want a massive meal earlier in the morning. That said, it was all cold! All of it! It’s 11am and I have not eaten since 6pm last night- hence I ate it. Never confident that sending back food won’t attract the “chefs tax” so didn't risk complaining. Come on guys, whoever cooked the obvious beaut fish and chips needs to have a word with the B team!”
