The Joseph Else - JD Wetherspoon Pub in Nottingham

11-12 S Parade, Market Square, Nottingham NG1 2JS

About This Pub

Ah, The Joseph Else – it's one of those reliable Wetherspoon spots in the heart of Nottingham that you can pop into for a laid-back afternoon or evening out. I've got to say, the atmosphere is spot on; it's warm and inviting, especially if you head upstairs for a bit more space to chat over a pint. The staff are usually chipping in with a smile and quick service, and at these prices, it's hard to complain about getting a decent meal or drink without spending a fortune. That said, it's not all smooth sailing – some folks have had issues with food coming out cold or not quite right, like overcooked eggs on breakfast, which can leave you a bit disappointed. Then there's the odd table left cluttered or the toilets that could do with a bit more attention, making you think twice about sticking around too long. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together if you're in the area, but keep your expectations realistic and maybe check the food when it arrives to make the most of it.

Met up with a group, we all order breakfast. Food started arriving and unfortunately eggs and bacon were cold, eggs were over cooked. Person from the group asked for a fresh breakfast as her breakfast was cold too. I just didn't eat the cold items. Tried to ask the lady who was serving us but unfortunately she was very busy as the only person upstairs serving breakfast plates to the entire floor. I don't think I will be coming back. Oh and you have to walk all the way down stairs to get to the coffee and tea machines, personally I have a back and hip problem so it wasn't very nice to have to keep going up and down stairs. Need more staff and floor plan should be looked at IE coffee and tea station is a need upstairs.

The food tasted great, and everything was good overall. However, it was a bit strange that when we asked for a straw for our drink, they didn’t have any.

Unfortunately this is not the best wetherspoon I visited in Nottingham. Lot of empty glasses and dity plates were still left in the tables, so I needed to put it aside and it was taked couple of minutes for the staff to take it aside. The toilet was gross, never ever go to their toilet again. But the service was fast and food was typical wetherspoon. Need lot of things to improve for this place.
