About The Quarter Jack
On Priory Rd in Wells, The Quarter Jack is a pub serving food daily on a walk-in basis. The menu covers a small range including a traditional breakfast, tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and a just-a-wrap option without a drink. The outside seating area is built from converted concrete pods, giving the space beyond the main room a distinct setup. On site parking is available for visitors, though the car park requires payment, and roadside parking nearby is monitored by traffic wardens.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise friendly staff, with one calling it the best of the Spoons branches they have visited. Others mention a relaxed atmosphere and an outside seating area with converted concrete pods. Complaints are sharper: one diner's lasagne was cold in the middle, and a family at a children's afternoon birthday says staff told them they were too loud, so they could not properly sing Happy Birthday.

“Three of us visited for our evening meals and two meals were fine but my lasagne was cold in the middle, which I can’t understand as there must be standard reheating times for a chain pub such as this. I took the lasagne up to the food …”

“Visited for my son’s birthday on Saturday afternoon at around 3pm. We chose this venue because we believed it was family friendly and wanted a simple birthday meal together. Unfortunately, during our visit, complaints were made about the noise from our group, and staff informed us that we were being too loud. While I understand that pubs need to consider all customers, this was a children’s birthday celebration in the middle of the afternoon, not late in the evening. The experience left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were so concerned about receiving further complaints that we didn’t even feel able to properly sing Happy Birthday to my son. The food and service were otherwise okay, but families considering a birthday gathering may want to check whether this is the right venue for a children’s celebration. It was disappointing that what should have been a happy occasion ended with us feeling like we had to keep the children quiet throughout the visit.”

“Very nice and clean pub. Car park on the side but you need to pay. You will be tempted to park outside the pub on the main road; however, it's a haven for traffic wardens. Three different ones passed during my 1-hour breakfast stop.”

“Absolutely without doubt the best Spoons we have visited. Food was lovely. Staff were friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed.Outside seating area including the converted concrete pods were genius. On site parking was a Godsend. Prices for drinks, menu selection & the overall fixtures & fittings were first class. Of the 52 Spoons we have visited so far "The quarter Jack" is the best by a mile. Even the loos are pleasant. Well done. Tim give this branch the credit it deserves!!!!!”
