Typical Wetherspoons - cheap and rudimentary.

Lowlight of our saturday evening was seeing a young Chav washing his arse in the sink in front of his retarded friends, due to the cubicles being out of paper.

This was shortly after a young tourist had been set upon in the toilets by 3 locals, who proceeded to steal his phone and left him with a cut lip.

What a delightful place!

This is one of the best Wetherspoons I have visited around the country. I think one of the main reasons I liked it was because it does not have the same replica interior as most other Wetherspoons pubs. Apparently, unlike most Wetherspoons, this was originally a pub as opposed to a shop. From the outside, you wouldn't necessarily notice that it was a Wetherspoons. Many of the features you notice inside are also unusual for Wetherspoons, including the engraved windows and a rather large black chair in the middle of it all, which looked like something out of a horror ride at the fairground. This is a fairly popular place. But there is plenty of seating, including outdoor areas at the front and rear and an upstairs area. In keeping with other Wetherspoons pubs, it has the usual good ale range. My visit coincided with Theakston Old Peculier, Ruddles Best, Ringwood Forty Niner and Old Thumper, Lymestone Ein Stein, Nethergate Mary's Ruby Mild, Cairngorm Wild Cat, Marstons Empire IPA, Greene King Back of the Net and Abbot Ale. Cider was Westons Old Rosie. A Wetherspoons that impressed for once.

I use this great pub whenever I visit Wanstead from Birmingham.
Imposing building with a welcoming and comfortable interior.
Professional, efficient and courteous staff.
Excellent selection of beers, wines and spirits.
Good food.
Wish we'd got a pub like this up here in Brum.
