I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at J D Wetherspoon (Cambridge, England) in Sept 2018
Interview
I was invited to an interview about a week after applying, scheduled for two days after the invitation. The interview itself was pretty standard, no unexpected questions and was all read off a script. Remember to prepare examples of when you've demonstrated good communication/teamwork/past retail experience etc. and do basic research on the company (year it was founded, name of CEO, number of pubs nationwide etc.). If you do that it will be fine. Also most of the questions described in other reviews came up in my interview so have a look at those.
I applied online. I interviewed at J D Wetherspoon (Middlesbrough, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Needed to bring proof of right to work in the UK. Casual interview with the question being from pre written list. Was asked standard questions about what responsibilities comes with the role, what you know about the company, why you want to work with spoons, time where you showcased teamwork etc.
Very friendly, they asked me to come in for a quick chat and it was just a lot about my background and how I work within a team. Definitely not as bad as many people think, but obviously important to prepare since these jobs can be competitive,

Interview
Two managers asked me a few questions such as why do you want to work for us and about my work experience. It was pretty casual and just took place on a table in the pub.
