| Popular Wetherspoons branch on the outside of a small shopping mall holding a cinema. The interior has pastel coloured walls and a modern feel. Clientele were a mixture of young and old. Several ales were on including a couple of their US beers from the recent festival. Cider was Thatchers Cheddar Valley. Does what is says on the tin. blue_scrumpy - 24 Oct 2011 22:21 |
| A modern, purpose built Wetherspoon’s pub located within the Xscape centre. Curves seem to be the central theme of the pub, with everything from the building itself, the bar, plates on the ceiling, rails on a partition and even some of the tables being curved to some degree or another. Decor wise it’s all a bit of a mismatch, with at least four different hues of paint being used – Turquoise, Pale Blue, Mustard and Maroon. Most of the flooring is carpet, although there are some big areas of wooden flooring as well. One area at the rear is up a couple of steps and partitioned off to break up the space a little, and the front area has full floor to ceiling windows looking out on to the patio, as well as “portholes” painted on to the walls and wood panelling on the lower part of the walls giving a slightly nautical feel. Besides the usual tables and chairs, there was also a leather sofa or two. There was a bank of fruit machines opposite the bar, and a few plasma’s showing a news channel, although there was no sound. Bar staff seemed friendly enough, if a little dopey. The barmaid who took my food order seemed to have no idea what a Chicken Bhuna was, and I had to spell it twice. Then I flummoxed her completely by giving her £10.59 for a £5.59 bill. Overall though, this isn’t too bad a place, although obviously it doesn’t have the architectural interest of some of the company’s other outlets. But being in Milton Keynes, it would be somewhat out of place if it did have any architectural significance. Good choice of beers on tap, although they are currently running a beer festival, so I don’t know what the usual choice is like. On this occasion besides the usual Abbott Ale and Ruddles Best, there was Whitstable Bay Organic Ale from Shepherd Neame, Bateman’s XB, Hook Norton Flagship, Titanic Fit Out, Everard’s Whakatu, Brain’s Dark and Thwaites Daniel’s Hammer. Ciders were also well represented with Strongbow and Thatcher’s Gold being joined by Two Trees Perry and Black Dragon, both from Gwynt y Ddraig and Weston’s Twist with ginger.

| The beer has just got better the last 6-9 months, noticed that the CAMRA guys have been in a lot lately so maybe more people are noticing so the range might get even bigger, though in summer i do like to take advantage of the real ciders, but not too many of them in the sun.... alehaveoneplease - 4 Apr 2011 22:13 |
| wow what a difference it was last night at the moon,no entertainment what so ever maybe because the team on the door was different,it made a great night not wondering that if you was laughing so loud you might get thrown out but heighho you did,nt have to keep glancing over your shoulder because the suits were,nt there.the guys that were on the door were great in their job because even they were there you didnt because they kept a low profile and when they did need to show someone the door it was done with a finese and polite manner,in fact the ejected person of which we saw only two was escorted to the door and that was it,a great night was had by all lets hope that weatherspoons has seen the light of the day and take note of the difference the door team makes. snowblader - 7 Mar 2011 00:04 |
