Firstly, I have to confess to being a rarity; I am an active member of CAMRA and a fan of Wetherspoons. This is a fairly typical 'spoons pub. with a good selection of well-kept and well served real ales, a selection of national brand keg beers at good prices, various wines and spirits and a family-friendly setting.
The menu is basic but good and at excellent prices. My wife and I called in for a mid-afternoon snack as we were going on to a presentation for 15.00. I ordered a small plate of nachos and she had a bowl of soup (Italian tomato). My wife added a plate of "Topped chips" as the staff told her there was an offer of three snacks for £10, so the chips were, in effect, free. The food came within fifteen minutes and was exactly as ordered, but my nachos looked like the Sharing plate I usually eat as a main meal! I couldn't finish them or the excellent chips, which were topped with bacon and cheese! The soup was reported as excellent by someone who usually makes her own!
The staff were efficient and friendly, despite the fact that it was so full of customers they were quite rushed and all tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as vacated. read more
