The Prior John - JD Wetherspoon Pub in Bridlington

36 Promenade, Bridlington YO15 2QD

About This Pub

Ah, The Prior John – it's one of those dependable Wetherspoon spots that you can always rely on for a straightforward night out in Bridlington. I have to say, the prices are an absolute winner; you get decent food and drinks without spending a fortune, which is perfect for a casual catch-up with mates. Ordering through the app makes everything feel seamless – we had our pints and meals sorted in minutes, and everything was piping hot and tasty. The place is massive too, with plenty of space to spread out, so it's great for groups or just popping in for a quiet one. On the flip side, though, I've heard a few grumbles about some staff not being the friendliest; one person mentioned getting the cold shoulder, which can really take the shine off your visit. Still, overall, it's a welcoming spot for a relaxed evening, as long as you go in with realistic expectations for a busy pub. If you're after good value and a no-fuss vibe, it's definitely worth a try, but maybe keep an eye out for those service hiccups.

You know what you get at a Spoons! Good prices, good food, quick service. Ordered via the app. Got our drinks within 5 minutes, and the food arrived soon after. Very good all round. After a bad experience down the road at the Freeman Cookhouse at the Premier Inn, we moved here, and all was good. Thanks, Wetherspoons, for saving the day👍

A typical Witherspoon pub in the centre of Bridlington. It was busy but we found a table easily. We ordered food at the bar. Three starters and dips, four main courses and four alcoholic drinks. The cost was £73.00 in total (we thought really good value for money). The food was brought to the table quickly. The majority of the food was excellent but one of the steaks had a large piece of gristle running through it. We did complain to the waiter but it sort of fell on deaf ears. The rest of the food was excellent. The atmosphere was friendly. We enjoyed our visit and we would eat here again.
