The Albany Palace - Wetherspoon in Wiltshire

I always hit a 'Spoons' when working away as they tend to be pretty consistent, it is what it is and doesn't try to punch above it's weight. I found a window seat so I could people watch, and the table was clean and not at all sticky like so many others! Beer festival offers were great. £1.79 for a pint of 6.9% ale! Fantastic and great quality. The katsu curry (with a drink) was tasty, hot and a decent portion, but the onion bhaji's (tiny) and veg samosa were not so great so probably best avoided. Tonight I'll try something else off the menu as its always good value. I might well end up in here every night of the six nights I'm in Trowbridge, especially as most other pubs and restaurants don't all get decent reviews.

Go elsewhere to eat !!! Usual standard cold plate. Food Luke warm seems can’t even get the basics right . Shame really but if you don’t get the right people who care a bit

A typical 'Spoons. Staff are friendly. Staff helpful as usual. The refurbishment is very good.

Really fast delivery on food and great work inside Say what you want about weather spoons but they just get things done properly

Just a great place to have a few drinks and some food without breaking the bank! You can't knock spoons for a great choice. It's had a fantastic face lift with a beer garden, this place doesn't deserve the knocks it gets,we've never had a bad experience here over the last 10 years we've been in Trow, the town would be alot worse off without this place! If you want gourmet, don't go to spoons :)

First time visit after the refit. Now a much more sensible layout with many more tables and nice Beer Garden. Food service quick and great value as always

Great place to stay and nice hosts.

we got told after and hour of being in the beer garden that we couldn’t vape politely we all had stopped after she said the lady came out 2 minutes later with our drinks and kicked us out because she accused us off using the beer garden to vape after we had been told.

First time back after the refurb. Large open space, plenty of tables. Staff were friendly, and food and drinks served quickly. Great value for money.

Just had a multi million pound makeover which is very nice, as are most Wetherspoon's. Food good as always and good range of beers at £1.99, try and beat that! My only moan is that you can't take your dog in there, which is a shame but predictable with how our country is going!

I went on a Sunday. Quite busy but got a table outside. My friend had a baked potato with salad . Very good presentation . Well cooked. I just had a drink larger,has already eaten

Was nice considering it's a wetherspoons

Too dark for day time in old side. New side ok. The carpet is horrible. Who ever put that design in. Get it out and just have boards. Brighter lighting. Just had coffees today. Able to talk without shouting which is good.

Great pub and fast food service. I highly recommend it if you would like to grab a quick bit to eat and a few beers. Ideal local as straight off a car park and a few minutes walk from the town centre and there is a beer garden which is a fair good size would accommodate 40 people plus.

Very nice large pub, good American breakfast

There was no good atmosphere at all, and both myself and a colleague agreed on that. Many of the customers looked pretty down and out, though they could apparently afford alcohol. If you know nothing better than Trowbridge, then that's fine, but for us, it was a place I would never go near again. The issue has probably more to with Trowbridge Town than the establishment. Weatherspoons' concept is great with excellent value, but many staff in Trowbridge and Melksham really have little customer service ability. Also, young kids and babies can be very irritating at times. I don't like having a meal in what often resembles a children's creche.

Great place for a couple of beers. Didn t try food but looked great. Keep on going

Newly refurbished for a few million pounds. Looks okay. Had a sausage bap, a bit dry. Endless amount of coffee. Probably won't go in there again.

Spent my life savings on alcohol, was worth every shot

Amy the Supervisor seemed good at her job, very Efficient and Proactive Recommend Ham Egg & Chips BBQ Chicken Pizza Fish & Chips

Absolutely awesome building and newly refurbished. There's also a garden area 👌 Best prices and best beers by far! Why go to another pub and say 3 X more for your pint? We love spoons, keep it up!

One of the best Staff very professional service 👏

The place is nice the food we had was awful I ordered a American double cheeseburger which was burnt to a inch of it's life and no cheese and about 10 chips will not be rushing back any time soon. P.S the beer is good and you can't fault the price

Typical Wetherspoons. Good value for money. Staff were better than normal. Seemed a bit dark. Lacking atmosphere.

Generally reasonable food but does vary from day to day. Good prices, not all staff are the most cheerful. Decor needs attention. But certainly not unpleasant.Now has been refurbished made great difference. Staff now cheerful, duty manager does brilliant job, well done.

Sorry, I did not like the place. Dark and drab inside. Spoilt by many of the customers. Well, it is Trowbridge, so what can you expect. Melksham pub is better.

Good cheap drinks with large variety and good food. Have some lovely helpful friendly staff. Also well done on the staff. A female asked for soft drink as didnt want alcohol. When she was at the table the male with her asked bar staff for vodka in her drink. Bar staff refused as they had heard her request soft drink only. Was proud that the staff cared enough. Thought that was very good of them **whole pub had refurbishment and busier than ever. Good cheap food. Great choice drinks qt good prices. Amazing staff.

Looks to be a brand new 'Spoons' and very nice it is to. Have one query for all to see. I can save 50p+ by ordering a wrap and beer separately. £3.08 for the wrap, £1.99 for a choice of three beers (1.79 of it's a Ruddles, out of it at the time). ???

Our first visit since the re vamp...really nice inside now with a bigger garden space..like the new bar..food cheap and cheerful and hot..a big menu choice.

Good old spoons, I know what to expect when I go for value for money coffee and breakfast muffin. I was walking and camping so with the free refills topped up my flask and there's normally a charging socket for devices, phones etc. Really liked the art installation of a woman dancer made from ropes. Staff told me this spoons was refurbished in June 2024.

Plenty of space even though very popular.Service was excellent and lovely friendly staff.Clean . Excellent toilets.Spent under 10 pounds for a meal and a large glass of wine.

Some expensive refurb done since I was last here Nice and bright and open with garden area Food up to its usual high standards Staff very friendly and keeping the place clean and tidy despite the large amount of people here eating Well Done !

They've made a good on the refurb, only problem is the beer garden which is where all the smokers are concentrated so it stinks

Best place to visit in town Center for food and sit together with friends and family members!! Make sure you visit this place before 9pm if you are going with kids. Walking distance from bus and train station!! Nearest parking place is St Stephen's Place Car Park.

Popped in for a drink to fill time waiting for a bus . Doom Bar at £2.10 a pint is a bargain!!

Very nice clean pub with good clientele

We were excited to visit as it has recently re-opened after being refurbished. The bar has been moved and there is some extra seating and a new outside area. The food came out fairly quickly, we ordered two veggie breakfasts but everything was completely cold. We complained and originally the waitress said that there was nothing she could do about it, after a bit of prompting she told her manager about it and someone came to our table and offered to make us fresh ones. When these eventually came, they were hardly warmer than the first, probably took even longer to come out, and there were many things wrong with it such as the egg yolk being completely solid and the toast being more like just bread. Also, before we left my half full bottle of elderflower cordial was taken away without asking me - not that I would have wanted it anyway because it left an unusual bitter aftertaste. An unpleasant and wholly disappointing experience.

Wetherspoons. Always a favourite place when travelling. Full brekkie and a coffee for £7.95. Great food at a great price.

We had lunch, it's a very nice pub. The new layout is much improved. It was very busy so our food took a little while. Everyone enjoyed the food, so there no complaints really.

Was going to come in to check out the new revamp and was refused entry on the doors by Amy very rude and asked us for ID we are all in our mid 30s she then told me I was to drunk and not allowed in as I was to intoxicated .. was definitely not …. Me and my freinds won’t be returning shame as re vamp looked good from the outside

One of the best spoons about, recently modernised and extended an excellent addition to the town

Even better now it has been refurbished Also has a beer garden

Shame weatherspoons got rid of the very elegant staircase. Rest of refurbishment nice, at the moment

Great renovation to The Albany Palace particularly love the new outdoor area and glass patio frontage. Bubbly atmosphere so pleased to see such a wide range of people there. Excellent standard pub food at an unbeatable price.

It is lovely place to go for food and drinks me and my partner pop in yesterday night for a alcoholic drink we know some of the old staff that is there as we went in before it got refurbish as we love it in there the food and all the staff are friendly that is mine and my partner favourite pub and it is are local

When to Wetherspoons in Trowbridge for the first time, it was packed full with people, ordered the food,waited 35 minutes for the food, then the food was wrong, I asked for a 10z gammon stake and got 3 slices of thin ham , when I went to the bar to complain, it would be a 55 minutes wait again for food, I said no I’m not waiting, they gave me a refund of £4.68 when I payed £11.50 didn’t get a full refund, the beer didn’t taste nice, I won’t be going back there again, it was rubbish in there ,

Made a beautiful job of refurbishment. Outdoor area seems particularly well designed. Stairs to the loos repositioned are less steep and safer, plus, loos are as usual have had money spent on them.. Appreciated some new relaxing chairs. Staff were in abundance, but ofcourse it was their official opening day.

Best weatherspoons I've been in so far, the referbishment it has had has definitely improved this place 10 fold, it's has been long over due, hopefully people will continue to visit this place as the atmosphere here is awesome and busy, the reopening has been amazing and is much needed should of done this at least 10 years. Well done to all involved and all the best for the future.

Drove 20mins to have breakfast, spent 10mins trying to find a park and another 10 mins walking back to the venue only to find its clearly closed for a big refurbishment and nobody bothered to update the Google maps.

Food was terrible Raw meat, over cooked peas, rice, cold coffee

A regular weatherspoons menu, but nicer than some i have eaten at. Staff were great and not doing the whole over attentive thing some places do.

Given a 2 for atmosphere but it was a Sunday breakfast time around half nine so it was quiet

Went there with a good friend. Food and Drinks were nice and reasonably priced.

Can't fault it , food was good ,friendly staff

I took my family there for dinner what a big mistake we all end up with food poisoning and the toilets are dirty I will not be returning there again I will take my custom somewhere else thanks for ruining our day out

First time visiting Albany Palace,great menu for everyone in the family. The tables were clean,staff were friendly. Meals came after a short wait. Recommend a visit

Usual Wetherspoons, food was good and service excellent. We used the app to order but early evening would be quicker to go to the bar.

Enjoyed a quick drink on my way back to hotel & breakfast the next morning. The staff I met on both occasions were all very friendly, and a great building 🤗

Was ignored at the bar for so long that I was worried I had become invisible, eventually served by a young man who looked totally fed up and tried to break the Guiness world record for the least words used in a transaction, food was ok but at least better than the service

Always my goto place when visiting Trowvegas, cheap food and drinks although the chips are barely cooked and some of the food like sausages smell like disinfectant. The staff are always polite and friendly with no dirty finger nails (unlike the locals) so that's good too. Looking forward to next week's visit to Trowbridge and hope the place is still open unlike the rest of the town.

Cold, overcooked eggs, undercooked bacon. Extremely rude staff and even ruder manager who thinks it's OK to just ask people to leave when they have a legitimate complaint. Dirty toilets. Go somewhere else. Don't bother with this hit or miss service.

It's a Wetherspoons. Had the Christmas panini which was really nice....chicken, bacon, stuffing and cranberries. Couldn't go wrong.

It was very busy on Thursday, could have done with more staff .

Lovely staff, great food, great price, greatveverything.

Lots of room, ok food... it's perfectly adequate for a town centre chain owned pub. It was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient, I'd visit again.

Came in tonight with a group of work colleagues and was met by very friendly staff , amber and luke were excellent service was impeccable and the drinks were great! we are visiting from out of town and would definitely come back as as long as we could see them both again

Absolutely love going to spoons,- only to see Amy though. Best service ever, and she’s brilliant, very accommodating and friendly! Always got a smile on her face, she’s a true credit to your company! A full 10/10,- and the pub is alright too 😉

Its a weatherspoons you been 1 you been them all, foods generally not great but its cheap and has alcohol plus inside was decent

Was great for dinner after a movie at the cinema

Good value, best prices locally for beers. A good venue for meeting colleagues, friends etc I've only used it at lunch time and early afternoon.

I come here quite a lot as the only place that does food I like for a good price and hardly anywhere else in town. Sometimes the food is good but sometimes it's bad so it's really hit and miss. Edit to do with how it is lately: I'm sorry but the service is terrible and has gone very down hill. Most of staff are very rude. Today most of our plates were cold as well as the food so someone in my party asked to have it warmer then have them bringing it back the same so we asked again and then they bought it back slammed it down on the table and rudely say "that food is now hot". Which tbh honestly wasn't that hot and was just rude. You would expect them to be apologetic but obviously their hospitality isn't too good. You would also expect the food to be hot as well as the plates or at least the plates being warm it's just common sense in a pub when wanting cooked hot food.

Usual Luke warm breakfast burnt toast Even with 2 people in kitchen can’t seem to get it right . Think just not bothered. My advice go to melksham it’s hot and much better

Nice and cheap to eat and drink

Perfect rare steak. The steak is brown on the outside, but still remain very soft on the inside. Better than some expensive steak house. Staff are really nice even they are very busy.

Very nice staff and good steak.

This is only the place to be in for entertainment. This place could be upgraded and served better food as the service could be better. The chefs could have more experience in food standards. The could be expanded in another place to be open at night. I didn't order food.

Dried out stale bread served, they took it back to bring out some fresh bread. Never got the bread. Couldn't be bothered to complain more just left.

Carpet looked very dirty food was good loads of cameras around didn't like but very busy pub

Very friendly staff food slightly better than other spoons. You basically know what to expect. Nice place.

The food needed another minute in the microwave.

We had a bad experience thats the staff showing racism on us

What kind of place that sells food doesn't have salt?!

Sausage luke warm and no salt available. Asked manager for salt, told I could search around tables incase there were some there ... Refused refund

Beer garden really in need of a refurbishment.

Hot food, good service, worth a visit

Good local 'Spoons, we even travel from Bath to visit the place. Staff are pleasant and hard working. Good Manager deals on food and drinks. Good location to the park, car parking and the town. What's not to like ?

Only popped in for drinks with the family after shopping.

Not good, accused again of things that never happened, no proof just happy to bar everybody! Would be worried but I am sure the children running this shambles will all be gone soon. Still very dirty!

Food was good as was service unfortunately though we sat outside to eat and could not enjoy the food so much as there was a group of people arguing so much I felt uncomfortable thinking any minute someone would end up across our table.

The atmosphere and food quality so much better than Melksham Food quality, portion size and vegetarian choice excellent

The food and drink is cheap. Its usually quite busy and can be quite loud. The food is not bad for the price. It could be better.

Just as you would expect from a 'spoons' if you want gourmet it's not your place, if want quick and cheap then look no further.

Excellent brunch,everything cooked perfectly and served with a smile Well done Wetherspoons up to your usual company’s high standards

Service great, food good, atmosphere loud.

Came for Breakfast which was delivered promptly by friendly staff.

Always a great place to eat and drink and you don't need to book seats. The food is consistently good and the prices low.

Staff under pressure, homophobic and aggressive. Only wanted one drink on way home, but will never venture in this establishment again. Utterly disgusted.

Always a good time, and although food is only decent- for the cheap prices you can't go wrong. Also can say the same about the alcohol options!

Not the best customers but the fish and chips were excellent , the wife absolutely loves the haggis areally good dinner

Nice meal and drinks very good prices worth a visit
