Fairly quiet on our recent monday visit, polite staff, overall a decent pub. I had pints of Kelham Island 'Easy Rider' [decent pint], Little Critters 'CocoNutter' [ a coconut stout which is a pleasant smooth ale] & Castle Rock 'Emily Mo' [a pleasant pint]. alehippy - 29 Sep 2019 11:09 |
The Portland Hotel is a branch of Wetherspoon's in a fairly impressive building just off the Market Square. The interior was fairly bland, as you'd expect and maybe a little smaller than it looks from the outside. It was busy with the usual 'spoons type of customers. Ales were Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best, Sharp's Doom Bar, Mr Grundy's Lord Kitchener, Welbeck Abbey Cavendish, Derventio Barbarian, Falstaff A Fistful Of Hops, Pheasantry Best Bitter, Beermats Diplomat & Howard Town Monk's Gold. Ciders were both from Weston's - Old Rosie & Marcle Hill. I preferred the other Wetherspoon's in town. blue_scrumpy - 28 Aug 2018 20:15 |
I think this is a good pub, staff are efficient, ales are well kept, sizable smoking area to the side, on our recent visit I indulged in Pheasantry Brewery 'Dancing Dragonfly' [smooth, pleasant & quaffable], Fuggle Bunny 'La La Land' [smooth pint], Kelham Island 'Miami' [not bad], Lincoln Green 'Hood' [tasty & creamy, very palatable] and Bradfield 'Farmers Stout' [smooth, creamy & mild]. alehippy - 28 May 2017 14:13 |
Dropped in to try the local Spire Brewery ale as this was new to me; enjoyed a well-kept pint of Whiter Shade. A chat with a couple of regulars informed me that the beer in general is well looked after here, and the place was certainly very busy on Saturday lunchtime. An above-average example of the Wetherspoon chain, I would say, but I did notice the tables cluttered with uncollected glassware and plates mentioned by others, although the bar itself was surprisingly well-staffed.
