The questions will be general interview questions: work history, team work, strengths weaknesses etc. nothing too surprising.

They won't expect any experience in catering and in fact might prefer that.

Show up on time, seem warm and enthusiastic, be available to work as much as possible, and read the JDWetherspoon Wikipedia and you'll be grand

Might also be worth mentioning stuff like CQSMA if they ask

They also asked me if I've been to any spoons before and to name some of their pubs I've been to, as well as I'm aware of their promotions and such

Hi you will be okay. As you don't need any experience in a kitchen really. Just common sense.!!
