| Large town centre JDW, recently refurbished, so in decent condition. SilkTork - 25 Nov 2007 22:39 |
| I forgot to mention in my last comment that this pub is in fact no longer a Lloyds No 1, but in fact a regular Wetherspoon. It’s still clean, and tidy, yet as miserable as hell. It’s been literary almost empty on every visit I’ve made. I can understand the reasoning behind the refurbishment and changes with all the trouble they had here in the past, but something needs to be done. This is a large pub, which should have a vibrant atmosphere and a buzz about it, but it’s just a tragic case right now. Hopefully things will pick up come July 1st when they may get some of their perhaps older and less immature custom back. HTM69 - 8 Jun 2007 13:15 |
| Finally this pub has been sorted, before hand i would have only gone there as a last resort or if a friend had stupidly organised to have a few birthday drinks there. But now i could happily sit in the pub and relax they have done a nice job making it more representable and you dont get none of the old bad crowed in there!! food is ok and drink reasonably priced!! the only issue i have is the non smoking thing! anonymous - 12 Apr 2007 11:32 |
| I finally got round to visiting the recently refurbished and newly named Furze Wren lasts night (Feb 15th) and am pleased to report that it appears to have been a success. Its extremely quiet (seemingly at all times) and this certainly makes a change from how it used to be! The interior is neat, tidy and everything was impeccably clean, even the food tasted better than usual! Whether here can maintain the high standards once the smoking ban is fully enforced everywhere from July 1st we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime however, (if you can drink without the smoke!), I’d recommend popping in. HTM69 - 16 Mar 2007 14:00 |
| As previously stated, Lloyds has been refurbished and given the new name, The Furze Wren. It is now decked out with leather sofas and it all looks rather fake to me. Hopefully there will be less trouble in the future, but it’s still essentially the same place. The trouble aside, if you didn’t like it before, the chances are you still won’t like it. Oh, and it has gone non-smoking. Although the ban doesn’t start until July 1st, any newly opened or refurbished establishment in the chain will be so. It was quite empty because of it and RSVP next door (knowing that they’ll get a few more customers in the meantime) are seemingly taken full advantage of the remaining smoking months by hiking up the prices.
