Generally dogey because of the local 'radio rental' clientel....sometimes has good food, although my friend did get a really ill from here. This pub constantly disappoints when it comes to the state of their real ales. Always ask for a sample first here, as they specialize in eye-watering vinegar, sometimes served warmer than room temperature. I have wasted my time and money coming to beer festivals here. Good range of foreign lagers. Better to visit in the summer, when the shutters are open and there is outside seating. Keep all valuables at home when coming here(not joking!). The locals stare at you unless you blend in and grunt periodically. The guvner is a moron but the staff are ok and efficient. gmap

Ahh, good old 'spoons. The cheapset pint in the land, but that means you do have to share with the riff raff.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a favourite of toothless old jamaican men.
Bitter has always been shit here, but I do appreciate the wetherspoons stock: nice bottled beers and zubrowka behind the bar, which are enjoyable regardless of whether the manager knows what they're doing or not.
You can nearly always get a seat.
Keep your head down and hide your ipod, and you'll be fine.
