| The most depressing Spoons that I have yet to encounter. 10 am Saturday morning, and already full of keg heads and football yobbos. Food is nothing special. Needs to up it's game. yamato - 11 Feb 2012 17:45 |
| One of the dullest Spoons i've ever been in, yet it was heaving gone high noon, as i struggled to find a seat. Drank a pint of IPA from some Yankee microbrewery, costing £1.99 and just about drinkable. I left shortly afterwards, would i return, probably not. nokegthanks - 16 Sep 2011 14:10 |
| It's a Spoons, so what you see you very often get, they rarely excel, but they're pretty consistent, good reasonably priced food and usually the cheapest beers in town & the Moon Under The Water is no exception. This is a large pub, with the front area reserved mainly for food and the side bar being more for standing & gambling (lots of bandits). The main lounge seating / alcoves are at the back. The general décor is a few years old now and beginning to look pretty tatty in places. I feel a make over is well over due, as the carpets in the main bar look particular grubby. I have been here a number of times and contrary to earlier reports I read, the beer choice has often been quite good, however, I have to agree & concede that both the choice & quality can vary in consistency & it's something they really need to work on. As with most "Spoons" these days locally sourced ales (although not exclusive) do tend to dominate . On my visits, George Wright, Allgates, Coach House, Moorhouses & Phoenix in particular are regulars. Be warned though, at peak times this is a busy pub and on more than one occasion I've walked in only to walk straight out again. The staff work hard here, but all too often there's never enough on duty to cope with demand. One other piece of advice too, unless you like plastic cups, bouncers on the door, rowdy behaviour and an age to get served....avoid this place on match day afternoons! On my visits the clientèle is typically "Spoons" a good all round mix, with no one gender or age dominating. However, they all seem to attract those amongst us who don't know when they've had enough. It's not unique to "Spoons" of course, but they do seem to attract more than their fair share. Luckily, when you have money & a choice, the door is always open. The upstairs toilets are relatively small for the size of the place and whilst some vandalism was evident, It was nice to see they were clean. To summarise, this is a typically average "Spoons", but if you're passing it might just be worth a quick look. OK, inconsistency seems to be it's major failing, but you never know, you might just hit lucky. On a good day it's well worth a sample.

| Very dissapointing ale considering that it is a spoons. The overall attitude of the barstaff leaves alot to be desired. Having ordered the infamous curry club on one thursday afternoon I decided never to go there ever again. The naan bread was like cardboard and the ale was flat after two sips. AVOID!!! realalerules1983 - 9 Jun 2011 13:12 |
| Poor drinking experience. The bar us a long affair set in what amounts to a corridor with half a dozen gambling machines to your back. The staff are very young, very slow and not above loudly bemoaning their lot while taking your money. Really not worth a visit. miffy4boys - 29 Jan 2011 15:04 |
