| Good food all day, cheap beer- what you'd expect from a 'Spoons. Probably the best pub in Guildford town if you're in a large group and want to sit down together. beerywilf - 19 Nov 2008 21:19 |
| A place I certainly enjoy to visit when I can. So many delightful ales to choose from and the food is good value too. Even if its crowded the chances are you shall find yourself a seat if you look hard enough. Well done Lloyd's. BigAleDrinkhead - 26 Oct 2008 12:09 |
| Despite being labeled a Lloyds 01 from the outside, the Rodboro appears to have more in common with a normal Wetherspoons (the 300th ‘Spoons to be opened so the sign proudly proclaims). The building was once the factory for Dennis Brothers who made specialist vehicles (Coaches, Fire Engines etc) and the building was the first purpose built vehicle factory in Britain. Whilst not particularly appealing from the outside, the vast split level interior has many interesting aspects with the main bar partly situated in what was originally an open courtyard, now glazed over. It may be quite cavernous inside but there are plenty of pillars and posts to break up the open spaces. The sunken corner sofa lounge will appeal to those who prefer to sink into luxurious leather. They generally have 4 standard ‘Spoon’s Ales + 2 guests - quality is fine but staff need to pay more attention in the short measure department. They can also be very slow at clearing tables and the food service can also be particularly sluggish, even when they are not particularly busy. Upstairs is a separate balcony bar albeit there is less choice on the ale front than the main bar. The Rodboro is certainly one of the more interesting and unusual Wetherspoons but is slightly let down at times by the inefficient staffing. RogerB - 15 Oct 2008 14:07 |
| Yeah, can't beat it. Its what you expect, its what you get, the food is alright, this isnt some posh restaurant after all. And you'll always find new beers to drink here. BestBeerBoffin - 19 Sep 2008 10:18 |
| Just passing by, popped into the ol' Lloyds Bar for a quick half and a quick bite. Met up with old friend Stella (always a pleasure). The Indian curry was a microwave special, but quite palitable and edible, and it conveniently filled the required hole. Pleasant enough early evening atmosphere in the "Rodboro" so i stayed for another liquid refresher. Bar staff forgot to lock a side door, so when i went to the gents toilet on the ground floor i ended up in a broom cupboard...! (I got away with it at the time, so nobody knows...)! Nice 'daytime' pub, 6.5 out of 10. TJ TeeJay - 30 Jul 2008 20:21 |
