    It's a wetherspoon's! But has good outdoor space and serves Corona on tap so happy days. The app is a bit slow but it does work

    Just had lunch here in the Twelve Tellers. I ordered the five crunchy chicken strips with chips, coleslaw and a really tasty barbecue sauce. I really was impressed with the amount of chips and the quality of the chicken. A proper plateful of good food. Hats off to the two servers who brought my drink and the food. Both pleasant and efficient. The place was quite busy when l arrived, yet l wasn't waiting long for the meal. A big shout out of thanks to all the staff from me.

    The better of two wetherspoons in Preston. About a half mile from the station. Good selection of real ales and a fast and efficient service. Staff were friendly. Worth the extra walking distance

    Great place to eat, drink and meet friends. Can be very busy at times but if you have the Wetherspoons app it's a good queue jumper and you get served quicker. Located in an old bank this pub has loads of interesting nooks for private drinks with friend's. A large beer garden at the back with an outside bar (was not open when I visited) Great selection of food and drinks all set in a good atmosphere and comfy setting. Located centrally and close to the bus station. A good place if you are on a budget for food or drink. Good place for groups to meet staff are very friendly.

    This was a glorious pub to have lunch at, consisting of a classic design that really feels like going back in time! The Halloween decorations made a nice addition and for a busy Saturday, the staff were very friendly at the well-presented bar. Plenty of condiments available and my Grilled Chicken burger with chips was delicious, accompanied by a J2O! The seating is comfortable and cleanliness had been maintained, as could be seen by workers going over tables.

    Was visiting and brought there for a warm meal. This place is huge but cosy. Ordered meal online. But server was very courteous. Even whenni asked for extra service to check on food. The free flow of hot drinks a great value. The decor and ambience is top notch. Love to be back.

    Chilled atmospheric with historical building. Good quality food and drink served by great staff. Great prices with some fab offers on lunch menu

    Stunning building and such a nice place to relax and eat in. I'm glad they've retained a lot of the original features and historical aspects of the former Bank. It's an interesting and quirky place to say the least. No problems at all with the food or drinks. Service was great as well and toilets were spotless.

    That was the best full English breakfast I've had since Gary Wilmot's wedding. Minor criticism, more distance between the egg and the beans. I may want to mix them but that's my decision. Use the sausage as a breakwater.

    So went here for breakfast one day. I'm gluten free. Asked at the counter what options were gluten free on the menu? Was told to go and check on the computer which was situated over in the corner which was like a McDonald's touch screen type thing. So I'll then have to put in that it was the breakfast menu. So that's what I am, what allergies I had and then it gave me all the options that I could pick from. There wasn't many to be quite honest. I was quite shocked. There was no option of gluten-free bread which was really disappointing and I ended up choosing bacon, mushrooms and scrambled egg. These all have to be bought as individual items. It didn't come as a as a breakfast as such because I was picking what was actually available for me to eat and so that and a coffee which obviously then is unlimited came to £5.67 which was quite dear. Actually because the mushrooms work the best, the bacon severely overcooked Not bad, just overcooked so really quite leathery and scrambled eggs were good. Nice! Know nice flavor consistency. Only saving Grace was. I ended up getting three coffees which sort of recoups. A bit of my money spent on a pretty poor breakfast. Probably won't go back to try a breakfast again. I did eat with friends there. They had various different breakfasts. Similar comments came up that the mushrooms weren't the best. The eggs were a little bit sloppy and. Staff semi-pleasant but to be honest probably could have been a little bit nicer and made me feel quite separate to the group of people. I was within having to go and stand over in a corner. I'm really computer screen to find out what I could eat for my allergies because the menu wasn't satisfactory enough to be able to tell me what was or wasn't gluten-free so pretty poor if you're eating gluten-free at this restaurant really not the best.

    Fairly typical Wetherspoon's, large pub, lot of seats / tables, small seating area out front and large one at rear, wide range of drinks at very competitive prices, Wetherspoon's regular food offering, all in an attractive repurposed building.

    I attempted to order at the bar a meal from the menu plus an alcoholic drink for approximately £8.60 which was a 5 ounce Wiltshire gammon plus two fried eggs and some chips. What I received for approximately £9.60 was a 5 ounce Wiltshire gammon with one fried egg a small portion of chips and a cooked large half tomato and a large mushroom plus a generous amount of garden peas. I have say though everything that I ate was of a high standard and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. If I had paid a lot more for this meal I would still have thought it was great. The beer was also very nice it is always a bit of a lucky dip for me with the large range of beers always on offer at Wetherspoon pubs. The toilets and tables were also very well maintained. I would have awarded the service five stars but for the meal and price not being exactly what I had in mind and I also had to find my own sauces and seasonings tucked way in a corner of this large establishment. It was not easy to award marks for atmosphere because there is no music on and it was very quiet, safe and orderly

    Dropped in for breakfast whilst waiting for my car which was being serviced. Plenty of free seating at 8am and the pub was very clean and tidy. Ordered through the app and the food arrived hot about 10 minutes later. Overall, not a bad word to say. Good value for money, friendly staff and good food.

    A bustling pub in a beautiful building. Staff are friendly and there are lots of craft ales on offer to support the usual range. It's the most impressive building I've visited from this company.

    Visited on a Thursday night , a lovely pub this , was an old bank with beautiful original features. We met the young Manager very helpful and informative re the history of the pub . Staff very helpful too , certainly worth a visit just for the site ..

    Had been here on Valentine day. They had a special offer which included drinks and food for discounted rates. Although we were there just for a couple of drinks. I love my Berry Cider which is not really available in many bars but yes you get it in JD Weatherspoon. A perfect Bar ambience with dim lights, spacious seating arrangements, gaming zone and fresh food at service without taking too long. One of my most favourite places to have a drink, just chill, enjoy the vibe and have long conversations with your partner or friends.

    We go to a few Wetherspons in the west Lancs area, and it's a shame, but this one rates lowest. The food is standard Wetherspoons' quality and the staff are on the while very good, but it's a big space and can feel a bit like a school canteen. People's kids making a racket regularly spoil it too. I get that the young staff don't want a confrontation with the parents but could there be a family room set aside maybe?

    Overall great place! Fun atmosphere, a little loud at times but that's just for my tastes. The bouncers were respectful and kind, and staff were on point

  • 2/5 Peter R. 1 year ago on Google
    Pathetically slow service, Stephen hawking in his "chocked" wheelchair would beat every single one of the bar staff to the customers, The bar floor is stickier than a freshly poured tarmac surface and I've seen happier staff in an end of life care home. Please don't go. Quiz was quite good though hence 2 stars.

    This spoons is both clean and pleasant inside and good service was the order of the day also handy for the bus station

  • 3/5 Jaroslav S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food, good prices, just a bit slow service, tables with leftover food, plates and dishes all around us when we came in until we left, could be a bit cleaner too and toilets were horrible also. But as I said food was ok and drinks too.

  • 2/5 Louise W. 1 year ago on Google
    Been before and its been fine but this time they brought out our main meal and we hadnt had our starter,when they did bring out our main meal it was so well done,obviously the original one and there was at least 45 minutes in between,i had thought they would do fresh

  • 1/5 Zoe K. 1 year ago on Google
    Breakfast cold. Told we had to wait 10mins for a fresh one as they was on the dinner menu now. Didn't expect a grovel but no apology no offer of compensation. Felt that we inconvenienced them. This is the 2nd time we have been served cold food.

    Exceptional wetherspoons. You always know what you are going to get at a wetherspoons. Good value food and quick service. This pub is a lot nicer than most. A large open building, high ceilings, nicely decorated. Always clean and tidy

  • 2/5 Michael L. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical Weatherspoons establishment. Reasonable prices, clean, well kept bear, no atmosphere and the service was as expected. Ok just for a quick pint (if your prepared to wait for you to be noticed at the bar) but typical corporate pub run on a budget.
