In these times of tightening one's belt, it's a bit rich to find that the basic beers have increased to £2.50 per pint.......obviously the recession hasn't hit this part of London. But this is a very good Wetherspoons, and the beers were excellent and the staff very friendly.
I did try a few of the other pubs in the area, based on recommendations from the Good Pub Guide, and the average price for a pint of mid-range ale was around £3.80, which is a joke. Obviously the people who work in this area are overpaid compared to the rest of us.
So, based on the prices in other pubs in the area, this Wetherspoons is quite reasonable. I did have 3 pints here, as I couldn't afford to carry on following the Good Beer Guide recommendations....and all 3 were damn fine ales.

Compared to the prices in some pubs, was happy to pay £2.20 for a few pints of decent ale yesterday. And even happier to then find that a couple of the ales were included in the manager's special deal at £1.50 each.
Extra marks for making ale available in the beer and burger deal, rather than the usual restrictive selection.
Staff good, tables clean, food okay, can't ask for too much more.

Agree about the pricey pints but the quality of beer and food is usually good. Looses points on the rating for prices though.

It's a Wetherspoons so you get what you expect. However, this was a rather better Wetherspoon experience with a friendly and helpful barman, a perfectly acceptable and edible cheap meal and the best pint out of the five I drank on the day (the rest were in relatively well-known pubs where rather more could have been expected).

Good selection (Esp. the Sambrookes) of ales, have been told that the Pub Manager really wants to push the ales. Which might expalin why he doesn't have that much on. Better to sell a few that are good quality than lots that a really nasty. Hopefully his ale sales will pick up so he can put more on.
