The Elihu Yale - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Wales

Popped in here for a pub lunch on a visit to Wrexham on market day. It's a standard Wetherspoons in a lovely old building that used to be a cinema. The interior is very large, lots of tables crammed together, but there are eating areas that are a bit more separate and cosy, and a choice of seating. The decor is traditional, with wood panelling and some interesting old photos on the walls. Accessible and clean downstairs toilets. It was very busy and noisy when I arrived, but I managed to find a nice table at the back of the pub. The bar was well stocked with a wide variety of cask ales, wine and spirits. Bar staff were very friendly. The extensive menu offered all the usual Wetherspoons fare including pizzas, curries, burgers, grills and traditional pub favourites, with smaller versions of many of the dishes and also children's meals. It was useful to see the number of calories displayed against each meal choice. Opted for the 5oz gammon with fried egg, mushroom, tomato, jacket potato and peas, and a Mediterranean side salad. Service was quick and efficient despite the staff being very busy and rushed, and a friendly waitress came back to ask if everything was okay. The food on the whole was average quality and could have been hotter, but the portions were good, the salad was fresh and really tasty, and the lunch and wine were...

The first date we called in for breakfast, it was closed and did not open until after 2pm. There must have been a good reason for this, but the management did not see fit to mention it on their website nor put the reason for it "in the window". Nor was there an apology for any inconvenience caused posted in the window! Not good enough by any standard. It was open at 9.30am on day 2. The food choices and quality are what one comes to expect. The staff were pleasant and served the food quickly. The one downside to this particular venue is the seating. Way too many tables meant that all too often chairs of nearby tables virtually touched each other, making walking in and around a challenge, let alone the too close for comfort of the other diners. Clearly this seams to have little effect on patronage as it was very busy on both days we visited. However, in my book, not up to standard due to the poor seating arrangements and the lack of explanation/apology for the...

Popped in with the kids for some lunch. We all had burger and chips. My daughter had the veggie burger and my son and I had the American burger. We ordered through the app and sat people watching for a little while until the food arrived. I've been to a few different wetherspoons lately and they've yet to let me down. Food usually comes within the estimated time on the app and is always satisfying. I was a head chef for quite a few years in higher end pubs and restaurants and I frequently eat out and you know what? I love wetherspoons. There's always a lively, busy atmosphere, the food and drink come quickly and there's always someone to chat to. .Cheap, cheerful and excellent...
