The Glass Blower — Restaurant in Wakefield

It’s a Wetherspoons....the buildings are nice, toilets been revamped, the prices are great, however, unfortunately this brings with it some issues..questionable clientele. The place is so busy that the staff are unable to have eyes everywhere at once, the place could use some security to help out the staff. Within 10 minutes of my arrival I noted a man who was clearly already highly intoxicated, enter the beer garden from the rear to meet his friend. The friend passed him an empty glass and the man proceeded to get out a bottle of cider and fill himself with drinks. I gave the place another chance today, saw two women with a very young child, buy 2 pitchers of cocktails and no food for themselves or the youngster…I thought there was a policy against adults getting drunk with young children..quite worrying that this is being allowed. Then a gang of chavs walked in shouting at the top of their lungs and being generally antisocial, I left as I felt intimidated. The place is like the Wild West and I feel sorry for the staff who can’t/are too afraid to try and control the place. Do better,...

The pub's layout is uncomfortably tight, and the clientele it attracts contributes to an uneasy atmosphere. Attempting to enjoy a quiet drink alone is often interrupted by unwarranted conversations from some patrons, and unfortunately, a significant portion of the clientele comes off as creepy.

On the positive side, the drink prices align with standard Wetherspoons rates, and both cocktails and beer maintain a satisfactory standard in comparison to other establishments.

The staff's performance falls into the "alright" category, with some members making interesting comments during our visit. While these comments didn't necessarily detract from the experience, they did contribute to a sense of inconsistency in the overall service.

In summary, The Glass Blower is an okay pub, but the tight layout and the type of clientele it attracts make it a place to avoid unless accompanying others with a specific preference for this venue. The overall experience could be improved with a more relaxed atmosphere and perhaps some attention to customer...

So, as a wheelchair user there were no notices of where the entrance was and which was OK to use as works are being dont on the front of the building. The rather routund gent who brought our drinks, was rude he slammed the tray down. We had to take our own drinks from the tray yet he served another lady he served a drink to he served it properly there was no hi or hello looked very miserable and untidy. The lady who served us at the bar for food was lovely smiley friendly she even came to check with us about not wanting lettuce on my partners burger. Chef or server who brought it out was same person still lovely smiley happy. Food dyer it has become so much worse I last 8 years or so than ever. I will never come to the glassblower ever again its a disgustingly dirty place to eat food fruit fly issue and if there's fruit flies you know there's a huge issue with rubbish . Or how...
