The Thomas Burke - JD Wetherspoon

Weatherspoons standard so you know what to expect. Lovely curry. Took staff over 2 hours to clear the table so not impressed with the service 😟

Zero atmosphere, food is shocking and the staff well I don’t wish to comment. As a pub in the heart of Leigh you need to put yourself out there more, apart from cheap prices which attracts everyone I would rather pay that little bit more and have an atmosphere or at least allow the staff to talk to customers !

Currently in Thomas Burke been here an hour most tables have been left dirty with plats and food on not even busy 3 behind bar who do not want to clean. They have even turned APP of so they do not have to do drinks from it. Wheret the lazy manager to sort it

Good food, clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Some rude and horrible customers bullied me from a table when I was waiting for my dad as he was ordering food and drinks

Great little Wetherspoons pub set in Leigh. The building is an old cinema and had the usual Wetherspoons charm. Food was good and staff were friendly. Very enjoyable visit

Pretty much the same as all other wetherspoons establishments. Cheap beer and cheap food. You pay for what you get. Don't moan if you're steak isn't cooked the way you asked it's a spoons for god's sake. You might see a lad called Big Dec. Steer well clear of him. You can't miss him his head is massive.

I ordered porridge with strawberries. Porridge was cold and still tasted powdery as it hasn't been cooked long enough. Returned it to be put in the microwave, it was returned cooked and hot. Next problem.... strawberries had been either sliced with the same knife being used to slice onions or on the same chopping board as onions - all you could smell and taste was onions. How difficult is it to prepare packet porridge and to slice strawberries? 🤔

Had a lovely Jalfrezi curry with Naan and freshly made poppadoms. ALSO a mixed grill. Excellent and good value for money with a free double brandy. Atmosphere was calm but with a slight buzz about it. Good mix of company. Excellent surroundings and the staff are fabulous, courteous, helpful and hardworking.

Really nice. I visited in the day time, just after lunch and had a coffee. It has a very classy feel to it, somewhere to relax for while with a drink whether alone or with good company.

The burger arrived without the extras I paid for. Then asked for bacon and cheese, it arrived fresh from the fridge on a separate plate. Absolutely a joke.

Fifteen of us for breakfast this morning, didn’t let them know but we really should have done. Spoke to bar start Lucy, lovely girl seen her day before and she was lovely then, even though one cook on duty, breakfast and drinks served with a smile and hardly any waiting time. Great staff big thank you to Lucy and rest of team. You need to value your staff. Xxx

I had the pasta Alfredo, it was enjoyable. Typical for a Wetherspoon's, nothing special but edible and fab for the price. Others at the table were all pleased, one person had steak, asked for medium rare and got medium rare.

Ordered the char grilled chicken......it definitely was not char grilled. The food prices are ok, but the portion sizes seem to have gotten smaller. Can't complain about the drinks prices though :)

Smashing people with a smile. Excellent ale, found an ale called Beer O clock here. Sensational. My only gripe, the horrific use deep fat fryers on the poppadoms .. they were slipping out my hands; I mentioned it, the lovely staff were only to happy to rectify .... Great spoons this one ... Well done!!

Beer is served at ideal temperature, Abbott Ale, at an affordable price, £2.00 lower than where I live near to where Abbott is made. Perfectly cooked meal, again charged at an affordable price. Well done Tim Martin, thank you. 👍🍺

Really nice! It's been years since I was in (living abroad and covid) but with sligh differences (menu and prices) it was still very pleasurable experience. A pity we can't smoke outside.

It's a spoons and this one is in need of a revamp the chairs and floor are sticky dirty horrible the tables as in any spoons not cleared quickly or wiped the paintwork especially at the entrance is shabby and uninviting .. but having said that the service at the bar was good and as a real ale drinker the pint of beer I had was one of the best I've ever had in terms of quality so I had two 👌 so a quick revamp and more attentive floor staff Mr Martin please and it would be a good un

I've popped in for breakfast and a brew & biscuits in the afternoon, for the last few days. The breakfast was nice, good value and not fatty. The staff I dealt with, I think it was Lucy and Danni, were exemplary, friendly, helpful, professional and nothing was a problem. A real commodity to Weatherspoons.

A good Wetherspoon with nearby on-road parking. Leigh as a town is constantly improving. Friendly staff.

Very grubby, tables left with dishes on them, the table which we were seated was covered with crumbs, not to mention the seats! when I was ordering our food and drinks at the bar I asked for a glass of wine, I was offered either medium or large by another young woman, not the person taking my order, the person who was actually taking my order answered for me!!!!! Extremely rude!

As always, great value for money and great choice of beer, but cleaning tables is not high on their agenda. Seems every JDW I pop into needs a deep clean!

Our usual place when we visit Leigh for breakfast, quick and efficient service. The staff are friendly and professional, face masks worn. The only thing slightly negative were the ladies toilets, I did speak with the Manager about this on my way out. The seal around the bottom of the porcelain need's reapplying, it looked old and tired. No further negatives observed. Thank you to the staff on duty today.

Drinks were great, however there was a bone in the chicken burger and the bun was extremely dry. Didn't bring it up to staff as they were rather understaffed & busy while still providing great service

Is £9.70 too much to pay for lunch with food brought to your table ? At Wetherspoons the Thomas Burke today I ordered Wiltshire ham 2 fried eggs and chips and J20 passion fruit and orange. For 2 people! For just £9.70 = £4.85 each Amazing Value! The ham were 2 lean slices and the eggs were good and hot as where the chips. 10/10 for quality service and value.
