I visited this pub on Thursday, 19 July between 11.20 am and 5.00 pm. First impressions were that it was on the small side and rather cluttered with furniture.

The guest ales on offer were rather limited with the best being 'Old Peculier'. The other 2 were 'Stones' and 'Brew XI'. These 2 were so weak and pretty tasteless that a glass of water would have been preferable! These 2 beers can be bought at £1.39 a pint if you have a voucher from the recently issued JDW advertising newsletter. So obviously the company wanted a very cheap beer so that their profits would not suffer too much!! As well as these the old faithfuls of Abbott, Spitfire, etc were available.

By 1.00 pm the pub was packed with office workers coming in for lunch. I would hate to see this pub on a Friday or Saturday night as there is very little room to move.

The worst part was the gent's toilets. 3 urinals so close together you would be lucky if 2 thin people could use them at the same time. The third one is virtually useless as part of the access to it is blocked by the condom machine. When it's busy I imagine the washbasins must get used!!

According to the manager this is the busiest JDW pub for its size.

Having said all this, the staff were very friendly and pleasant. The food was of a good standard and served quickly.

However, because of its size, lack of room and inadequate toilets I would not venture back.

Time to dust off them student memories and bring them here... Cuz it feels like u are one spendin a friday nite in The Last Post. JD format is followed well with tables n chairs getting in the way to the loo and quiz n fruit machines. Bar is big... but lack of "working" staff lets it down so be sure to book you taxi 20 to 30 mins later than planned... Lovely carpet designs, Good crisp Lighting, and handy railing outside to stop u being run over in the high road makes this pub a solid 7.

Went in there today and had a very nice pint of Butcombe Gold.The bermaid was not the usual Wetherkid but an older and much more friendlier person.She even offered me a taster(of the beer unfortunately)which i thought was very good as i didn't even ask for it.Seemed to be better that your average jd.

Not a good spoons. Service is painfully slow (though friendly) due to obvious staffing issues. Too small, always crowded. Unbearable in the evening, I got several menacing looks for my failure to dress in Reekbok Classics and addidas trousers. Don't bother.
