Wetherspoons' two pubs in Holborn are Shakespeare's Head at Africa House, 64-68 Kingsway, Holborn, Camden, WC2B 6BG and Penderel's Oak at 283-288 High Holborn, Holborn, Camden, WC1V 7HP. Two of them list a phone number, shown on the cards above alongside the full seven day hours.
Shakespeare's Head lists step-free access, baby changing and Wi-Fi among its facilities, which is the kind of detail that varies pub to pub even though the menu does not. The name is local rather than corporate, which is normal for the chain and makes these pubs easy to walk past. Holborn sits in Greater London, and the county page lists every other town with a pub. The full pub finder covers the rest of the UK.
The menu here is the national one, so it matches every other Wetherspoons in the country. Breakfast covers the all-day brunch at £10.12, and the main menu runs to the smaller fish and chips at £9.65 and an 11 inch margherita at £9.38. Prices are set per pub, so treat these as the national reference rather than as Holborn's exact till price. See the full menu.
Shakespeare's Head opens 8am - midnight on Mondays and 8am - midnight on Sundays. Breakfast runs from opening to a fixed morning cut off, and the kitchen serves through to the evening after that. The full seven day table is on the cards above, and the opening times guide covers bank holidays.
These pubs do not take table bookings, since Wetherspoons runs first come, first served everywhere. Groups do best arriving mid afternoon, between the lunch and evening peaks. Some pubs elsewhere hire out separate rooms, which is the nearest thing to a reservation the chain offers. More on the booking policy.
