No longer a Wetherspoons.

Called in last night for a quick meal and a pint to wash it down.
At the bar, two banks of hand pumps (3 or 4 on each) , no duplicates. I went for a pint of Irish Red, 4.5% and only £1.99 - one of the Spoons Festival Ales. It was pleasant enough if a little bland, with a subtle roasty aftertaste.
I had the sweet potato and chickpea curry. Overall OK but naan bread was a bit well done on one side and was rather hard as a result. Poppadums were lacking in crispness. Plate didn't appear to have been warmed so the meal went cold prematurely.
Pub started to get a bit noisy by 5pm, plenty of students in and a few after work drinkers by the looks of it.
Large enough pub, plenty of seating. Standard Spoons really.

One of the worst Wetherspoons I've ever visited. This place was packed to the rafters on Sunday evening. Many people had presumably been to the match, whilst others were watching another match on the TV. There were plenty of bar staff. But they all seemed to be walking backwards and forwards and not doing an awful lot. Seemingly some of the keg options were only available at one end of the bar, despite several taps and presumably none of the staff knew how to put new beers on, as there were only 3 ales - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Banks's Black Diamond. They did however have Black Dragon cider on. Poor choice for a Wetherspoons and far too packed to be comfortable.

One of the better Weatherspoons ive seen,usually cheap priced beer and i went last Saturday lunchtime and was served within 5 mins by a very polite friendly barmaid.overall i would recommend this pub
|
Amazing!! Very cheap prices, good atmosphere and barmen, and at last a bar where we can talk without this very loud music !!!
|
Can't complain about the beer, cheap enough service is terrible though and the food is well, CRAP ordered a breakfast on a sunday morning, waited an hour for it to arrive. Toast burnt, mushroom not cooked, eggs the same very very poor, just microwave food. Would have a drink in there again, but i think i will give the food a miss!
|
Great Ale,Very Open plan with strange dragon sculpture in the centre that is suppose to be "The Lambton Worm" wotever that may be!Slow service when visited but was VERY busy. 8/10
|
good choice of real ales but just seems like a big ole barn.
As for the hike to the gents!!
Gets cracking tot of a weekend mind

Typical Wetherspoons pub.
L A C K S A T M O S P H E R E ! ! ! !
Dirty tables etc etc.
Food fair to middling (and i'm being generous).
During the day, full of the obligatory pissheads, and come the weekend, wall to wall totty.

Good pub excellent
|
An ok pub for a quiet drink, but the food is pretty crap, you can tell its probably just freezer stuff, like the lasagnes and shepherds pie. Its cheap enough though.

Reminds me of the plebs dining room at Pontins in Morecambe!
Tried to get a breakfast there one morning and they had no bacon
|
Looked clean and decent enough. Interior was roomy but less "sterile" than I feared. 3 micro brewery cask ales were on when we were there, in addition to the somewhat less interesting standard cask ales. That's certainly more than you'll find at the average street corner boozer. Small "children's certificate" area, I think you're supposed to have a meal there, we didn't and they said nothing - but then, it was matchday and pubs tend to be more liberal when kids go with their dad for the footie. Like all JDW pubs: The beer is CHEAP!

has the look and feel of a down market working mens club.
Like treking to the south pole for the toilets.
Less atmosphere then the moon.

Its more up market than its sister pub the William Jameson,just a shame that it has very little atmosphere.The only thing that attracts people is the lost cost drinks-I tried to get a sunday dinner here and they had no veg!-and It was a sunday.
