The Woodthorpe Top, Nottingham

As per usual, the general British Public jumping to conclusions and not considering the facts. The Woodthorpe Top has infact not had any "Drug Raids" but has chosen to deal with the drug taking that occurs in most pubs in Nottingham and act on it rather than ignore. This proactive, rather than reactive action, has weedled out the drug abusers who no longer come to the pub, but elsewhere where they are given an open invitation to use in the toilets with no prevention in place.
Yes, the Pub is regularly busy and does unfortuantely sometimes take longer than you would like to get served, however I dispute the comments that the people is full of "hoodies" as a complete mixed clientele regularly visit the pub. Combined with the fact that tracksuits are banned at the weekend I find this very strange.
Correctly though, Wetherspoons is designed to be an affordable establishment that prides itself on their cost effectiveness both to the public, and with the use of recycling etc back of house. Perhaps the beer isn't as nice as the bread & bitter, a quieter and more expensive establishment, but do you get what you pay for ? and if you dont, how are the staff meant to know if you dont take it back and raise comments on its quality!
As for UCCVG's comments, you must lead a very lonely life if you haven't met anyone that likes the pub, as there certainly appears to be numerous people!
