| This extensive Wetherspoons dates from the mid 19th century and was the Queens Hotel before reverting back to its original name when ‘Spoons took over. Named after George Reed, a prominent citizen and benefactor of the town who, among other things, built the ramp on the beach opposite from where the lifeboats were launched. Lifeboat displays seem to be a recurring theme throughout the pub which is divided into several rooms, each with its own bit of character (or lack of depending on your Wetherspoons viewpoint). The rooms to the front of the pub as well as the small outside front terrace commands good sea views whislt the central areas are of a more sombre and claustrophobic nature. I counted at least 3 silent plasma screens with the usual Sky News/Sky Sport News set up. 10 handpumps but many were doubled up with the standard ‘Spoons ales with just 2 for guest beers (albeit decent ones). A decent enough place with a bit more character than your normal Wetherspoons but my visit was for a March late Saturday morning journey breaking liquid breakfast. Once the caravaners and holiday camp brigade arrive in town for the summer… RogerB - 26 Mar 2009 18:49 |
| Does the job, nothing special, but mega good value if you want a cheap decent meal out with the family. Saying that, the 99p IPA, which was not bad by the way, is the reason all the other pubs in Burnham are empty. However, I'm not sure you can blame them for trying to drum up business in a seaside town!! Brummyboy - 25 Feb 2009 11:00 |
| Decentish pint of Strongbow but not the cleanest or friendlist Wetherspoons you'll ever venture in to. DirtyPanda - 5 Oct 2008 16:21 |
