I don’t normally go in pubs filled with youngsters in the evenings especially ones with doormen but most of the other pubs were closed on a bank holiday Sunday
I’ve eaten in here many times and the food is standard Wetherspoons and they have the usual range of cheap real ales
The atmosphere was ok despite the young crowd and the doormen were friendly
This is a typical what you see is what you get Wetherspoons,never seems to have clean tables and a sticky carpet

Maybe I caught them on an off day but they had just one ale on which was pure garbage ended up changing it for lager. Typical Wetherspoons but you are really limited for ale outlets in Yeovil pity this place was only masquerading as one.

See my comments of October 2010. Nothing much has changed - mind you, I tasted 9 different beers (all thirds!) and they were, without exception, in good nick. It's a great pleasure to be able to taste so many different beers that are not normally seen hereabouts. Early doors is absolutely fine!
|
Not impressed, I agree with most of the other comments. I no longer go here even if am nearby and have my CAMRA tokens. No good trying to start a conversation with most of the other customers, unless you speak Neanderthal or Polish...

As other reviewers have noted this is a pretty ordinary Wetherspoons, but it's not bad early doors and it is very conveniently situated next to the bus station, which suits me and my bus pass absolutely fine!! When I called last week, they had just started their Beer Festival and had 5 Festival beers (which they serve in thirds of a pint if required) as well as 3 other real ales and 4 real ciders. All of those I tasted were good. The young staff could do with a bit more training - had to ask twice for a top-up and the young girl didn't seem to understand.
I don't think it would be a good place to be on Friday or Saturday at 10pm!

Seems to be the fashion to criticise all Wetherspoons pubs. OK, so this isn't the best of them, but it isn't the worst by any means (Street probably wins that prize!) Beer is always well kept, and staff are pleasant. Music is awful, but then if they had Classic FM on I'd probably be the only customer! Yeovil has lost so many town centre pubs that this one fills a large gap. Not as black as it's painted by some contributors!

Standard Wetherspoons, Lloyds Number 1 version, so you get crap music and less choice of real ale. Being the designated driver was not a problem!
|
Typical 'spoons - a cavernous converted carpet shop (and, before that, a supermarket) with the atmosphere to match. Now a Lloyds bar (so they could up the prices) but still the cheapest beer in town. All too frequently understaffed at the bar with enormous queues, especially Friday and Saturday nights when the local chavs get overloaded. Food is variable - difficult for microwaved frozen pre-packs, but they manage it!

Wetherspoon pubs are the same everywhere you go, CRAP.
This one is no exception. Dirty cheap and nasty.
|
Basically as rough as a badger's crotch!
Cheap average food & drink. Very long waits at the bar - but clean bogs.
If you love p****d up chav locals trying to fight with you on a friday night, you'll love this place!
|
Decent prices and continental beers (par for the course) Spacious with screens etc. Barmaids are a bit dippy, prone to errors, but polite and chatty in general.
|
Not bad at all - for a Spoony ! Old Rosie Cider on tap v v nice !
|
On first impressions, thought it was a reasonable Spoons, large, smart and with tv actually turned on (with sound). However, after wandering round Yeovil for 90 minutes looking for somewhere decent, we returned here and were overcharged for our drinks. When I said that we'd paid �1.60 less for the same round before, the girl said "did you have a double then?" I said no, and pointed out that I hadn't actually asked for one this time either. Nice try love!!
We then sat at the same table as before and were delighted to see our original glasses still on the table from an hour and a half before.
|
A bit hit and miss. Fine one visit and Cak the next. Sunday lunch can be top or pig swill. No consistency which I thought spoons was supposed to be about. As usual unless pissed youths are your thing avoid on a friday or sat night.
|
takes ages to get served, cheap drinks though, staff nice-toliets wicked for the girls! needs music like the one in taunton. food always cold but other wise a cracking good time he he

cheap booze. good to start the night off

Yes, its fine really. Slightly more atmosphere than your average 'spoons. Usually got Exmoor Stag on too which is fecking beautiful.
Locally renown 'Yeovil Birds' at their friendliest late on, after pitchers of sweet, lime-flavoured cocktails. You need a few 'Stags' down first though, or just dont wear your contact lenses.

Hi!
I was at The William Dampier when i was studying English at your country. I came from Castell�n in Spain. I was living at Evershot and always remember the best Fish and Chips I had in my live. It was at William Dampier. It is a clean place and cheap.
I recommend The William Dampier to everybody that visit Yeovil.
