Smithy Fold

I had a very good breakfast and unlimited hot drinks for £8.72 visiting this Wetherspoons (my 388th). No problems with any of the food. Service was very friendly and the place was very clean. Not too busy around 10am on a Saturday morning. Would like to have tried the ales, but my visit was too early for a beer. WILL return.

My friends and I visited here on our way back to Manchester after hiking in Peak District. The place is spacious and was quite busy. We managed to find a table which was quite dim in lighting and made it difficult to read the menu where the prints are small. We ordered via their QR code instead. I've been to Wetherspoon before so I know what to expect. I ordered Mixed Grill with additional fried egg at £12. The meal includes a hot drink and unlimited refills. The mug for my tea came to the table instantly after I placed the order. Then, my food came fairly quick piping hot which was perfect! Loved the mixed grill - all the meat weren't dry or chewy. Portion size was decent. Value for price. Hot drinks were limited to coffee and tea. It did say hot chocolate when ordering, as well as being advertised on the hot drink machine but it wasn't in the selection, so I just helped myself with several rounds of Tetley tea. Highly recommend this place for dinner. Safe and cosy place to be in and not too quiet.

This pub is within 5 minutes walking distance of the railway station, and to the bus stops. Car parking is close by. One of the Wetherspoons chain of pubs. As with others in the chain, food is uniform between them and the menu created centrally. Gluten free food is no longer marked on the menu but sufficient information is available via the Wetherspoons app or staff to make informed choices. I had a jacket potato with cheese plus a 'refillable mug' of tea, with ice cream and fruit to follow. The Smithy Fold is all on one level with good wheelchair access and the disabled toilet is very easy to find - follow the bar to its right hand end, turn left and the toilet is on the wall further back. Gents and Ladies are a little further on.
