What User doesn't like about The Thomas Leaper:
Went to meet my friend for a catch up for an hour. I had a spicy chicken meal and ordered some Halloumi on side, received Halloumi fries then really burnt Halloumi and only had a few pieces. Cost me for the Halloumi which I...wasn’t happy about. Overall the spicy chicken meal was quite nice but the chips weren’t great. Hope to have a better experience next time: Got offered a free dessert or drink, chose a drink but... View all feedback. What User likes about The Thomas Leaper:
Everything you would expect from a wetherspoons and very quick service. However unfortunately we had the table near the door where people would go through to smoke and it would really slam shut every time- the door needs fixing! View all feedback.

The Thomas Leaper in Derby offers typical Wetherspoons fare with mixed reviews. Some diners were disappointed with burnt food and lackluster service, while others enjoyed quick service and decent vegan options. The atmosphere was described as chilly due to a faulty door and slow service at times. A highlight was the extensive drink menu and beautiful interior. However, some customers felt let down by the lack of heating on Valentine's Day. Overall, experiences ranged from subpar to enjoyable, leaving diners hoping for better luck on their next visit.
