| Went into Runcorn town centre for the first time ever yesterday and visited this fairly modern Wetherspoons branch. I believe there were at least 10 handpulls. But only 5 ales were on, with a few 'available soon'. Alongside the Ruddles Best & Abbot staples, there were two beers from Peerless - Triple Blond & Hilbre Gold, plus Thwaites Wainwright. The cider was Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon and there was also a perry - Mr Whiteheads Festival Special. The polished modern floor gives it a smart appearance, but it was actually a little sticky on the feet. There didn't seem too many other decent pubs in Runcorn. So this is probably not a bad option. blue_scrumpy - 5 Jan 2012 22:03 |
| a nice airy and spotlessly clean wetherspoon with the usual cheap no nonsense food and drinks,visiting on the first day of the autumn beer festival i was very pleased with the three festival ales that were on especially the treacle toffee mild which was sublime! 7/10 fat_beer_badger - 5 Oct 2011 13:23 |
| Hardly an intended stop-off during our lengthy trawl through Cheshire via canal, but we needed some lunch and Runcorn presented as the most convenient option. I can't appreciate why so many of its pubs are rating so highly on this site - maybe only the licensees have lodged scores. Saying that, there can't be many, as from a brief tour round the centre most pubs now seem to be decidedly closed for business. A sad reflection of the undoubtedly bad times an already deprived town is enduring I suppose. In a bleak beer desert like this a Wetherspoon pub is a godsend. The Ferry Boat provided some respite with several cask ales and ciders. George Wright and Coach House brews featured, and were found at exceptionally cheap prices but in good condition. Service was efficient enough. The place was rather dull and unmemorable in its internal and external appearance, and atmosphere wasn't enhanced by the lack of punters - one might think in a poor area a beer 'n' burger lunch for �2.99 would draw folk in, but it seems TWG - 18 Sep 2011 18:57 |
