By far the better of the two Wetherspoons in town – though that doesn’t make it particularly good. Bit of a strange building, like somebody has plonked a single-story warehouse on the back of a suburban semi-detached ! One of the cheaper Spoons for both food (Sunday Lunch £5.49) and drink (fuest ales £1.99). Only had 2 genuine guests out of 10 handpumps when I was last there, partly due to 2 pumps selling Pedigree. I had Vyatts Regal Blonde which was perfectly acceptable. Have eaten there on occasion in the past, and it has been OK, though once I was told they had no jacket potatoes !

Had an hour to kill before my train from Tamworth back to Rugby so I decided to call into the Bole Bridge as it is Tamworth's 2nd 'spoons.
Large building that used to be the Tamworth Working Mens club and is large inside but quite dull.
Busy when I was in and they had a Cdier festival on. The pint of local ale I had was good and having been the 3rd 'spoons of the day for me this is a pleasant enough pub.
Not a great deal to say but it was fine.

Interesting building which used to be Tamworth Working Mens club and was taken over some years back by the chain of Wetherspoons
As this chain pub goes, it is okay, the decor could do with updating and the staff can be quite slow but overall the beer is drinkable and the food is what you would expect from a Wetherspoons

Curious hybrid of a structure, with the western part being a traditional sort of market town building and a larger modern extension containing much of the seating. There aren't a lot of windows along the main facade, but as these are south facing it is still fairly bright indoors (except for the old bit). There is also a reasonably-sized patio area outside. Ten handpumps in total, and with just one 'available soon' there was a reasonable selection of real ale (including a splendid pint of RCH East Street at �1.90). Not too bad, but I thought the bar staff were distinctly disinterested.

Popped in on a sat lunchtime for a pint. Place was busy but the service was quick and friendly and the pint of Saltaire Titus Black was divine. Nice comfy sofa was found and the next half hour was well spent here, 8/10

Atrocious Wetherspoons. Went in at about 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, reasonably busy although plenty of staff and tables. Had a quick inspection of the taps and couldn't see a single guest ale (there had been one on and it had gone off when I went to the bar). I spoke to the Team Leader who confirmed there were no guest ales on and wouldn't be for a while - she blamed the beer festival - that had finished 1 week earlier. I cut my losses and forced down a bottle of Lech before storming out.

Always busy, especially early on, was crammed at 8pm on a Friday night. No music (good) thins out after about 9.30pm. Attracts all sorts from teenage girls drinking vodka & red bull to old boys drinking Spitfire. And with two pints of Carling costing well under �4 its a cheap place to drink.

some decent guest beers but don't expect staff to know anything about them. Cheep and cheerful Crap service

Agree with the comments below - cheap beer and rubbish service.

I eat here two or three times a week, food and beer is cheap particularly on Tuesday (steak-night). Service from bar staff is generally poor, but it seems to be getting better latley, often not enough staff for the number of customers at the bar,and an inefficient back-bar layout. But the food and drinks are cheap and you get what you pay for. Varied customer ages, but a large room with a no-smoking area.

The staff seem to think if your usual tipple is unavailable,any old bitter will do!I'm a big Abbotts fan,and when not on I was offered "Stones" bitter as a substitute!!!So much for training

Ex-working mens club, now a typical Wetherspoons house. Okay but as usual with this chain nothing exceptional (food is occasionally cold - and I'm not talking the salad!!)
