Was easy, asked a few questions but mainly just need to be friendly and sociable. Did ask if I knew anything about JD wetherspoons and the business. Sat me down in the general area and asked a few general questions to start and then some more standard situational questions eg How would you respond if a customer was unhappy with their order ? Etc

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at J D Wetherspoon (Guildford, England) in July 2023
Interview
The interviewers were very nice to talk to, was like a casual conversation. They liked me a lot and preferred positive people. Learn about the basics of the company because they will ask "Why Wetherspoons?". Basic interview questions like "what's your weakness" and "perfectionalism". asked about my schedule, very flexible.
