| This pub has the grandest entrance of any I know. A sweeping driveway climbs past a gatehouse and sloping lawn to a fine building with extensive views westwards from the terrace beer garden. The interior is equally impressive, with two distinct drinking areas to the left of the wide hallway. The bar is bisected by a dividing wall, with the ales dispensed from the counter on the right. A fairly uninspiring selection on my visit, I plumped for a pint of Brakspear's Triple - not a favourite but well kept. The bar was understaffed, a common problem in Spoons for some reason. The pub was full of irritating students on my visit. Architecturally the best Spoons I've been in and the beer garden is probably a great place to sit on a balmy summer evening. Worth visiting if you happen to be passing but not one to make a detour to. holbornboy - 22 Nov 2011 22:36 |
| This is one of the flagship wetherspoons not like any other one i know. The layout is superb with different seating areas to suit all tastes. The beer garden is enormous with beautiful trees and catches the evening sun well. The problem for me is is just too busy and full of young people (i am an old fart really!) so an 8/10 from me because of that. montie49 - 25 Aug 2011 17:20 |
| Charges for car parking! Outrageous. I've never heard of a pub charging for car parking before. And a £50 fine if you don't pay even if you've spent ££s in there. Don't go, this shouldn't be allowed. peterpipe - 5 Jul 2011 19:34 |
| Architecturally, one of the best Spoons. Beer choice and quality were fine yesterday but, like most Spoons, the service was awful, the tables (inside and ou) full of empty glasses and plates. cheshirecat - 21 May 2010 09:25 |
| Don't go in here with the bias many people have against Wetherspoons, this is a really nice pub in an amazing building with a huge beer garden. Summer days in the sun outside with a beer, what more could you want? Oh, unless the bloody Wurzels are playing there. th261 - 18 May 2010 15:18 |
