| Went in here for a lunchtime pint recently and liked it a lot. Much smaller and "traditional" than most JDW pubs. Small bar not the usual long thing (maybe there was another one on the other side of the pub?). All genuine wood beams and intimate atmosphere. Good pint of Wolf Straw Dog at 225p. I can only say that it was not really like a Weatherspoons - make of that what you will. Recommended boblarkin - 10 Aug 2011 19:08 |
| nice pub with plenty of atmosphere. Our visit was spoilt by very slow service, repeated short measure and bar staf that were really not up to standard. delpus - 30 Apr 2011 13:04 |
| Probably the best Weatherspoons in the country, and an amazing pub. Gorgeous building, lots of snugs and places to sit and obviously very cheap too. Can get packed of an evening, but it's so gorgeous it's hard to care. MX7 - 24 Jul 2010 17:35 |
| Called in May 2010, whilst cycling the coast of the UK. Probably the best Spoon's nearest the coast I have encountered whilst cycling the coast of the UK, which includes Spoons in Wick. Wonderful chartacter of a building, staff attentive, food - well its Spoons so did not expect al Cate menu, but very edible, 6 real ales on tap - and at 1.99 excellent value. Lots of little nocks and crannies. One small point, was I noticed a table with a reserved card on it, inquired at the bar, was this a practice of Spoon's, No simply they know there locals, and a family regular eat together , thats a nice touch. See comments left by previous members, can only agree. wafflingdwarf - 3 Jun 2010 16:03 |
| The Lattice House is possibly as idyllic as things get for a Wetherspoons pub. Unlike the usual plastic ‘Spoons by numbers, the Lattice House is a wonderful intimate 15th century building complete with many original internal and external features. It was first used as a pub in 1714 (known as Ye Olde Lattice Inn) but closed in 1924. Spoons have done an excellent job in retaining the character of the building and there are plenty of interesting photos and snippets on the walls regarding the building’s history. The pub doesn’t initially appear to be very big but it does have several small rooms and hidey holes although it does get a bit cramped and bottlenecked in places. There is a second bar upstairs that is also worth exploring with equally intimate seating and a small balcony overlooking the main bar under the wonderful vaulted roof. Unusually there is a full set of Ales in the upstairs bar as there is downstairs so Ale fans don’t need to keep going up and down with pints in your hand like in most other split level pubs. That said, just 2 guest beers were available on our visit (Oldershaw Best and Wolf “Granny Wouldn’t Like It” and both ran out during the course of the evening but just as I was resigning myself to a pint of Abbot they put on a new barrel of Nethergate Drunken Monkey. The general atmosphere was far more welcoming than its sister pub the Globe and, depsite being a Saturday night, the place was comfortably busy without being overwhelming although service was a bit slow at times. There is also a small beer garden at the rear which I didn’t actually notice until we left. There isn’t much to recommend in Kings Lynn on the pub front but the Lattice House is certainly worthy of attention, even if you are not a Wetherspoons fan RogerB - 7 Sep 2009 13:31 |
