What User likes about The Pillar Of Rock:
This Wetherspoons restaurant near Bolsover Castle is stunning. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. The internet connection can be a bit unreliable. There is parking available right in front of the restaurant for convenience. I'm not sure if the parking options here are better than the ones in Chesterfield, but in my opinion, they might be. View all feedback. What teddymybear doesn't like about The Pillar Of Rock:
The food is never good quality here, unlike other Spoons I have been too. I had a large mixed grill which included a pint at £3.10p. It was edible, but lacked presentation, I even found an odd chip on my plate. Beer was good though,... View all feedback.

The Pillar of Rock, Bolsover, presents a classic Wetherspoons experience, featuring a cozy atmosphere and affordable prices. While many patrons appreciate the friendly staff and the convenience of table service, inconsistencies in food quality and service can tarnish the visit. Diners report cold and underwhelming breakfasts, supply issues leading to menu shortages, and long waits on busy days. However, the pub does shine with its all-day breakfast, free refills of coffee, and value-for-money options. Despite its flaws, loyal customers continue to frequent this charming establishment, drawn by its inviting ambiance and connection to weekly traditions.
