William White, Nuneatonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This place is now called the Silk Mill. We did think that it had the appearance of a Wetherspoon's. As an unscheduled stop, courtesy of Cross Country trains cancelling our train, it wasn't too shabby. It served our hour of need on Sunday morning with a warm drinking environment and friendly service. Ales were all fairly bog standard - Sharp's Doom Bar, Greene King IPA & Abbot, Morland Old Golden Hen, Fuller's London Pride & Timothy Taylor Landlord. But we also noticed the selection of Lilley's ciders in the fridge - Lemon & Ginger, Firedancer, Gladiator, Merry Monkey & Bee Sting. The latter was soon replaced by a Mango Cider & Santa Cider. There's plenty of seating and multiple TVs showing Caribbean cricket. After a few swift halves, we returned to the station only to find our next train was cancelled too. Seems like this place changes hands quite regularly. But I'll try it again the next time I'm stranded in Nuneaton.

Now the " Bierkeller " complete with Ooompah band and watered down lager. Probably.

Closed for good due to previously mentioned pest problems. However this safeguards the future of Nuneaton's other Wetherspoons , the far superior Felix Holt.
|
Closed by Health Inspectors due to " Pest control issues ".
Rats. Dirty big rats.

From the sublime to the ridiculous ! If the Felix Holt epitomises a good Wetherspoons, this is about as awful as you can get. On first arriving I was wondering if the place was closed as it looked absolutely dead from the outside – none of the usual chainsmokers outside the entrance. On going in I saw there were quite a few people inside, most of them were gathered around the bar. [ And a pretty miserable lot they were as well ] There appeared to be only one member of staff on duty. Also only 5 handpumps, of which only one was a proper guest ale. After waiting for about 7 or 8 minutes, when I still wasn’t even the next person to be served, I gave up and walked out !
