The William Adams - Great Yarmouth

This used to be a lovely clean establishment with lovely food.

I visited today for lunch and was very disappointed. The place has gone down hill considerably. The food was barely heated and bland. I had a burger. It tasted like cardboard. The table we sat at was so dirty I had to wipe it down myself. The dirt that came off the wipe made me feel ill. QD provides better quality and value for money.

The table menus are filthy and the coffee machine was in a dreadful state. I am very disappointed by the state of the pub and the lack of care towards patrons. I observed a male member of staff serving drinks to a table and leaving the pile of dirty dinner plates behind him. This is not necessarily his fault but it highlights the problem with a lack of staff. Maybe wages are too low?

I will not eat here again unless there is significant improvement, and the place is staffed properly to cope with the work that is clearly required. Sadly, it is clear that this pub did not learn many lessons from Covid.

I have been quite generous with my scoring because I am confident lessons will be learned and the required changes made.

Cleanliness is basic, especially when eating out. Please pay more attention to hygiene.

Decent food at a decent price. Had the turkey dinner here with some sides. No major complaints but the stuffing tastes a bit odd. The service was decent but bar seems to take ages and sometimes food arrives before drinks. You can order on their app, but signal isn't great here so you could use their WiFi. Decent Christmas options but I don't understand why everywhere has gone for cheese this Christmas. Bit boring. Side note, small plates used to be 3 for £10, now it is 3 for £15!

So sat and tried to order via app. So stood at the bar it was very busy. So while the girl was serving others going from one end of the bar to another. I said excuse me but that person just walked up to the bar and you served them straight away,when clearly there was lots of us waiting to be served. Obviously others around me were miffed. Her words were well I only work that end of the bar and not the end you are standing. What a load of cod wallop.

A fun lunchtime with some old friends. I went for the full festive, including the turkey dinner and a pint of Adnams Yuletide. Sorry just the after photo 😂

Food was great with new things on the menu. Service is slow at the bar counter and the one person serving was not checking and taking orders in order that the person arrived.

food was great, drinks were tasty too but almost all of the tables were dirty, and the waitress didn’t bring any straws or cups with the pitchers.

Best breakfast in town unlimited coffee and great prices on food. The bartenders are great 👍

Wish I knew about this place sooner! We leave tomorrow - tempted to extend my stay just to get more food here 🤣

A really nice and friendly Wetherspoon with great service and probably the best staff I've ever been served by. The food was hot, such good value and tasty, both at breakfast and evening. The tiolets were immaculate. Move over McDonald's, there's a new kid on the block for breakfast muffins...
