About us

Named after the poet born in Bilston, in 1862, and best remembered for his patriotic ballads. Sir Henry Newbolt is remembered chiefly for his patriotic and nautical ballads, such as Drakes’ Drum (1897). Perhaps his best-known lines are from The Island Race: ‘There’s a breathless hush in the close tonight/Ten to make and the match to win. But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote/Play up! play up! and play the game!’.

There were 3 frozen chips on my plate. I reported it to who i oresume was the manager who said it was because the cooked and frozen chips were kept side by side so must have got mixed up. He offered me a free drink to compensate. Also we ordered an American burger which arrived as a burger on a bun, no red onion or cheese. I also reported this to the manager. He wasn't the most pleasant of people, unexpected of a Wetherspoon pub. I won't be going again. Very disappointed.

1st time visiting this venue. The members of staff who served us at the bar and our food were both very pleasant compared to the other staff member we encountered. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good compared to other JDW units. I had a steak, mainly gristle and literally 10 chips. The atmosphere isn't due to the venue itself looking clean and well maintained. However, to the clientele, we must have sat in a regular customers seat due to the glares we were having and up on leaving they didnt give us chance to put our coats on before jumpimg in our seats. (There were other tables available) Overall, the visit was like eating food in a doctors reception or gods waiting room.

I had a sausage sandwich and a refillable coffee. Excellent value. The sandwich was hot and delicious. I would thoroughly recommend it if you don't fancy a full breakfast.

Food was good, however, bar staff, not so much. The waiter seemed a polite chap, but did not at all approve of the way the staff at the bar treated my girlfriend, when she ordered her drink. Extremely rude and inconsiderate. Not to mention they were Facebooking while on the job. Will be avoiding this particular Wetherspoon for a helluva long time, if not, for good!

Very disappointed with my experience as the staff are usually lovely! The man serving us today was lovely which is why I’ve gave 2 stars I ordered myself a drink via the app the barmaid had left it with other customers drinks standing on the side of the bar for 10 minutes they were just standing around chatting so I went up to ask for it I caught her looking at her Facebook showing her work colleague pictures when people were waiting for these drinks. I told her that I had made a order for table 35 I said is that my drink by any chance and then she very sarcastically said does that look like it? So I just simply said yes and she raised her voice again and said well take it then. I did make sure she knew this was not acceptable and when I went back to my table my boyfriend was calming me down but she was just looking at me for long periods of time giving out dirty looks. I hate to complain as I work in customer service myself but at the end of the day I don’t come to have food just for bad service whilst they’re too busy gossiping and looking at Facebook then to be spoke to like that. Will be leaving feedback to head office shortly.
