| Someone at 'spoons seem to have read the comments here as the beer choice has improved over the past year or so. Smaller and friendlier of the two 'spoons in Canterbury; staff are friendly and the clientele fine. Beer's good too - and extremely well-priced, too. There are other good pubs round the corner, but this is worth a visit in St Dunstan's pub crawl. palecitrus - 17 Oct 2009 22:27 |
| I use this one when I know I've got a wait for a train at the Canterbury West station. I've found the guest beers palatable (except on one very hot day a few years ago), and that's all I'm interested in. Big selling point -the beer's much cheaper than the other pubs nearby. They were selling a Lee's beer at c£1-70 a couple of weeks back, so I had three in a hurry instead of one at leisure! salminkarkku - 30 Jul 2009 10:37 |
| Plenty of tables available on a Saturday lunchtime in the tourist season when other nearby pubs were packed. Exactly the sort of food you'd expect in a Wetherspoon, reliable without being over-exciting. But the pint of Exmoor gold was pleasant. Don't get too inebriated here though; it's a big climb up the stairs to the toilets! Trev - 27 Jun 2009 18:48 |
| Popped in again recently. This Spoon tends to have a poorer selection of guests than the average. It's an OK place, but it does lack character. SilkTork - 20 Sep 2008 10:02 |
| 'Spoons outlets often receive poor commentaries from BITE users, and being someone who likes to believe in having a more discerning eye (and palate) when choosing a pub, I daresay many deserve their unfavourable reportage. The chain endeavours to be all things to all people, but invariably ends up becoming a jack of all trades and master of none. Nevertheless, I wonder whether in this instance it has received a slightly unfair appraisal? Granted, it is nothing out of the ordinary, and follows the JDW formula pretty predictably. However, that formula does sometimes deliver on certain fronts, and some credit can be given. Here, one will at least find a well-maintained interior (sensitive to the building's original design although I confess that some more 21st century air con would've been welcome - it is a hot spot and no mistake in Summer!), friendly service, and a decent range of ales which I found to be in good order. Butcombe Blond and Oakham Helter Skelter were in excellent shape and despite the heat, temperatures were correct. This comment is based on more visits than I'd cared to make in 2 days, as it was adjacent to the hotel we were billeted at for a stag weekend. But really, it was not an unpleasant place in which to while away some in-between events hours. Perhaps we were lucky but it did seem slightly more efficient, pleasant and less anodine than many of its counterparts. I have to agree re the food though: best avoided. TWG - 6 Aug 2008 13:47 |
