The Woodthorpe Top in Gedling

Rocked up to this place just passing through Mapperly Top, Nottingham. Seating was present outside, but was too cold, so we went inside. Very open place, loads of seating with some locations with a open fire (nice feature). A large long bar is situated at the front hosted by friendly staff. There is a large selection of traditional commercial pints and also some random real ales. You can also order spirits, coffee etc... The beauty of this place is that the cost of 3 decent pints was just over £10. Absolutely brilliant considering the location. The toilets are very clean and the establishment is also designed to be wheelchair friendly. Will definitely go again... Big thumbs up!! See you again guys.

Staff are so rude, apart from that lovely young girl, I think she’s left as I haven’t seen her in a while but I would if I were her. Service is terrible, would rather get food from sainsburys down the street. At least it would taste nice!

Food oily and not always hot. The drinks came *after* the food was delivered, which was a bit odd: short-staffed was the explanation, which I'll accept... But it still wasn't ideal. Nevertheless, all staff were very polite and helpful. The decor is bad early 1970s, and when we visited, there were a large number of screaming toddlers... But that's Spoons for you, I guess.My photo poses a question! I know it's late December 2021 and it is unseasonably warm. But why does Spoons cheese *literally* sweat. It's not terribly appetising, is all I'll say. And I'll try to be fair and point out that the Woodthorpe Top's choice of sweat-prone cheese is not of their doing, but is (no doubt) a mandate from as aboveI'll simply conclude with: drinks *before* food, not after; hot bacon, not cold; and no cheese sweat. Those factors would make me award a 5-star review. But as it is, it gets a 3-star review, because it's definitely acceptable, but absolutely not compelling.

The Woodthorpe Top was good and bad all at the same time, my family of 30+ arrived for a late breakfast, one of the boys at the bar was a little rude to my aunt when she asked about breakfast menu still being available. The tall lady waiting tables got slammed with our orders but she did really well in getting everyone's orders in as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the breakfast orders that came later on looked a little lean and had unremarkable flavour. Nothing more to say about it, other than we tipped the waitress as she delivered :)

Great food and decent prices, but sadly very few covid hygiene measures in place. A lot of mixed generation of people with only a few children wearing masks. Also as someone who needed a crutch, there wasn't much assistance offered to get my hot drinks.

As far as spoons go, this is one of the better ones we've been to. Friendly staff, quick service, unbeatable food prices and consistent good quality too. Never have any problems or complaints about anything here. Patrons on the whole seem to be decent folk, no beer boys. Good place to fill your belly and at a low price.

Probably one of the best Weatherspoons for the ambience and aesthetics alone. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and quick to ensure the place is presentable as often as possible for the next customer. Glad to have this place in my area and recommend it to those who are looking to have a quiet chat and drink in the day, or a gathering in the evening, especially in winter.

Well it's ok. Always busy and as always with Wetherspoons cheap prices. However this is the third Wetherspoons I have visited recently and all three left me feeling a little underwhelmed. They seem to have lost some of their ambience and their portion sizes have most definitely got smaller. Also the beer I chose was out of stock, another theme running through all the pubs. There is no parking there but can use the road opposite for parking. It's fine for a quick meal and great for cheap draft beer but not what it used to be.

Not bad for breakfast food wise, but loads of dishes were out of stock! Probably too much ice in juice too, there is no option for ice on app when order unfortunately.

Food excellent, service poor. Waited 25 for drunks to come by which time food had already been served and eaten. Then one of the drinks was wrong, dried to speak to the server but she just walked off, on returning it to the bar and being served by duty manager she happily changed it but seemed unconcerned and wasn't bothered that we had already eaten our meals before being served the drinks even though everything was ordered at the same time through the Wetherspoons app.
