| Wetherspoons have scored a shocking own goal. As an official of CAMRA I arrived at the pub at 11.30am on Easter Monday for a meal and to sample the ales on offer. However, I was denied access and when I asked for directions to the nearest pub serving real ale the bouncers on the door were most unhelpful. They pointed in the direction of a pub and I asked if it definitely served real ale but got a blank expression (as expected there wasn't even a handpump in the place). I walked in the rain up down the road and down side streets in the search or a Real Ale pub but to no avail. I will never visit the Gilpins Bell again as they quite clearly did not wish for my custom and there is nowhere else within walking distance that serves either Real Ale or food that I could find or anyone was prepared to direct me to. Never before have I been denied access to a Wetherspoons and there is absolutely nothing on their website advising that access is denied when Tottenham have a home game. Disgraceful.

| A pub I only ever use when visiting White Hart Lane. Match day tickets have to be shown before admission is allowed. Inside the place is invariably full. However despite being two, three or sometimes four deep at the bar service is good due to there always being plenty of bar staff on. No chance for any chit chat of course! A wide selection of beers on, Abbot always seems to be available. The pub is a vast sprawling one with lots of chairs and tables, a book lined study area in the centre of the pub and an outdoor drinking part too. A couple of TVs show football. I'd be interested to see what the place is like on non football days but frankly the area is not the most appealing one and I'm no great fan of W'Spoon pubs. Fine for a chat about Spurs over a few pints before the game though! outtamehead - 24 Jan 2010 06:00 |
| The only place to get a proper beer within walking distance of THFC. Good choice of beers and very reasonable prices. yellowyid - 15 Jan 2009 17:21 |
| I love the cosy section in the middle - it's like drinking in someone's posh library. We used to stop here often for a cheap breakfast and couple of pints on our way into London, but the breakfasts took longer and longer to arrive and were colder and colder when they did finally appear. We've now decided to give it a miss in future and eat in town. BobOs - 13 Aug 2008 17:27 |
| You can park at the back. There is a blinding Jamaican take away about 6 doors down. You can eat it in the pub coz the staff know better that to say anything. Or you could Wetherspoons food, the true taste of Gatwick. chucknorris - 9 Dec 2007 21:13 |
