Despite the fact that this homely pub seems to be run by children, it is a very nice little place in an area with little much to offer in the way of hospitality. The service is friendly and being a Wetherspoon there is a decent collection of ales, even if 3/4 of them were off on last visit. The Thursday night curry seems to be something of a local institution here and you'll find a spacious but atmos-zero dining room upstairs in which to consume the microwaved goodies.

This is a recent addition to the Wetherspoon’s stable. It’s a traditional Victorian red-brick public house that was somewhat down at heel previously, and has now been given a new lease of life with a JDW makeover.

It’s perhaps a little smaller than many of their pubs, although there were signs pointing to more seating and another bar area upstairs, which I didn’t investigate. There is also a small courtyard garden/smoking area at the back. Decor is inevitably much the same as any Wetherspoons, with some wood panelling on the walls along with freshly painted plaster in mellow tones, and a dark patterned carpet. The only feature of any interest is the fireplace with a large mirror up above. There are also plenty of pictures and other information on the walls about the local area.

There was a plasma screen showing a news channel, although this had the volume down and was tucked out the way around the corner. There were also a couple of fruit machines opposite the bar and several A-boards promoting the various meal deals available.

Beers on tap were Milk Street’s Amarillo, GWB Maiden Voyage, Hydes Ship Shape, Abbott Ale and Ruddles Best. Ciders were Blackthorn, Strongbow and Thatcher’s Gold.

quite a small wetherspoon offering over two floors,opened two weeks ago and still appears to be very popular with the locals,packed throughout with nowhere to sit so ended up sat outside! Very unstaffed like with most jdw outlets and nearly ten min to get served, only 5handpumps downstairs of which two were blank and out the other 3 were abbot and flamin ruddles!opted for pint of rhymny export @ a rather pricey for spoons tag of £2.40,definately not the finest pub from the spoons stable,6/10

Closed down and boarded up.
The scum have gone elsewhere although the area seems to have improved somewhat since I knew it maybe 10 years ago
