| Should be renamed the Nuthouse. If you want to get the full experience of what Bedlam must have been like in it's heyday, the Nuthouse is recommended. About 80% of the clientele are geriatric and mad, the other 20% are of varying age and can mostly be seen staring into the distance or laughing randomly and with great vigour at seemingly nothing. Try a Sunday evening, when the place is usually crammed with with (entirely harmless) fruitloops. The effect is quite intoxicating, and you may leave a different person. That said, it's probably the best Wetherspoon's you'll visit, a varied and constantly changing selection of beers, cheap if not the best-kept. It's warm and has plenty of seating, although seeing as it seems to act as the local retirement home this is in quite high demand so be prepared for someone to shuffle off the mortal coil before you can rest your legs. Bit of a depressing interior but like someone has said, some interesting artefacts about. I shall continue to visit for a cheap pint, but whenever I am a bit more flush I far prefer the Prince of Wales just over the road.. shand83 - 9 Feb 2010 09:36 |
| Enjoyed a Christmas Eve session last night. Pub was lively and buzzing with all the staff dressed up and open 'til 1am. Good ale selection with several "seasonals", and impromptu singalongs to Christmas pop videos made it all the more entertaining. Nich52 remarks on the beers being slightly on the cold side - I noticed that too, but otherwise they were in good condition. Everything else about the pub was about the best you'd expect in a JDW. Good, 7/10 - worth a trip. lad_newton - 25 Dec 2009 20:10 |
| They'd ran out of fosters this evening but coors at £2.49 a pint is a worthy substitute. Notasaffa - 22 Jun 2009 23:42 |
| I agree with Nickthefish - it's better than most Wetherspoons. The ales are always too cold for me in these places - resulting in a strange lack of taste. However, my pint was quite reasonable. The food was cheap and fairly filling although it wouldn't win any prizes. nich52 - 16 Jun 2009 18:00 |
| One of the better 'spoons. Nice and clean and plenty of choice of ale. Staff competent and helpful. Interesting facts about the area dotted around the place. nickthefish - 28 May 2009 10:09 |
