A gentlemans drinking club on a Saturday afternoon. Spot the lady, there were very few. Decent KI Pale Rider and Mauldons Silver Adder. Surprisingly clean for a Wetherspoon especially when compared with the dusty old Trumpet across the road.

Blue Scrumpy`s just about summed it up, typical JDW - food yes...night out nope.

Typical town centre Wetherspoons that stretches back a fair way from its front entrance. There were plenty of staff and plenty of customers. Beers on during our Saturday visit were Greene King Abbot & Ruddles Best, Harviestoun Schiehallion, Celt Native Storm & Black Hole Orbit. Frustratingly there were nearly as many handpulls that were clipped but "coming soon" than there were beers on. Ciders were Westons Old Rosie & Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon. Ok, but nothing special.

Hook Norton and Springhead beers apart from the usual Spoons fare with a couple of others waiting to come on. Pretty clean and tidy, small patio outside which looked decent. Much worse Spoons around.

I have eaten at this place many times and taken friends and have had pleasant service from the female staff. The female bar staff are polite but most all of the male staff especially rude and are not the sort of people you want would want to meet in the street let alone a bar, you have just spent good money on a Saturday night to drink to to say they had no respect is a understatement; being a paying customer I do not expect much but to have lewd and insulting comments of door staff I found upsetting and completely uncalled for. As the bar closes I was asked to leave immediately. All of the staff were all around the age of twenty and those left in control far to arrogant and immature to be left in charge of such a large establishment! Having worked in the restaurant and pub trade I found this place completely ruined what could have been a good night.

A little worse than a typical Spoons. There is, as always, a choice of ales and the food is the usual standard, but the place has more people in the smoking area than inside, during the day and requires tough bouncers on a night (Friday) as it gets rammed with the local kids getting fuelled up.
Best pop in during the day is my advice, especially if you smoke, you dont have to light up, just go and breathe all the fumes and remember the days before the soking ban.

Only one thing I can say about this pub.
DONT BOTHER....
|
Typical suburban Spoons with a decent Bishops Finger but not really a real-ale driven pub.
|
Decent pint of Hook Norton ale was had here in the beer patio,8/10
