| As Quinno says this is a typical spoons building. Availability and quality of beers was good though. Staff worked hard to reduce queues. Leicesterbeer - 5 May 2008 11:19 |
| Come a long way from the 'Hopeless Tap' of old, beer quality still good and a lot less cold. Wetherspoons beer festival last year was best in here out of all the ‘Spoons in town, the beers were spot-on. Can still suffer from idiocy like not turning the clip round when the beer's off, but otherwise worth seeking out at the moment. Though as is usual with Wetherspoons pubs, you never know quite how long this renaissance is going to last. But I’ll enjoy it while it does. Quinno - 18 Feb 2008 20:02 |

| 12 beers on hand pump, great! After waiting 10 minutes to get served we asked for the Loddon Dragonfly. It's off! Can we have the Loddon Hullabaloo? That's off. How about the Hop Back Crop Circle? Sorry, we're cleaning the line. We could feel a pub version of the Monty Python "Cheese Sketch" coming on. Why don't you turn the pump-clips round the other way if the beer is off and stop wasting our time. We were informed that that was against the law. WHAT!!! Ended up with some passable Bombardier but made the mistake ordering the "improved" fish and chips. God, if this was improved, what was it like before! If you haven't two pennies to rub together, get in there, the drinks are cheap. I wonder if Tim Martin ever goes into his appalling pub chain? pubinspectors - 28 Jul 2007 19:56 |
