| Q. What do you call a very slightly upmarket "Spoons" with no real ale? A. Yates's. I ambled in and stopped dead in my tracks - a lovely faux-marble topped bar adorned with all these shiny fizzy beer dispensers - not one engine in sight! I suppose the "Wine Lodge" of the group's title should have given me a clue. Undaunted, I approached said bar and asked the pleasant, smiling youg lady who greeted me for a pint of Guinness. "Very sorry, I can't serve it - the tap's broken". "When?", I ventured. "Oh, yesterday", she replied brightly. Faced with a choice of John Smith's Smooth or Tetley Smooth - I'd rather stick red-hot needles in my eyes than drink either - I elected for a cup of coffee, at sat at the least dirty table. Looking around, the clientele appeared not to be the types that frequent 'Spoons. Middle aged ladies with shopping, a couple of business types, and a few young mums with their infant brood, and a few couples. The atmosphere was not unpleasant, but with the darkish paint, and the blinds pulled most of the way down, it looked dark and gloomy, as the sun had now moved further round no longer bathing Cecil Square in sunshine. Then, a flurry of activity - the blinds were being pulled up, dirty glasses collected, tables and ashtrays being cleaned. The Gents need some attention - one trap with a broken seat, jamming door and bust lock. Sorry, Yates's, you did nothing for me - not even a Guinness. 0/10. Right then, off to Sheldon's………………….. 5thearlofwimbourne - 5 Sep 2006 11:01 |
