The Samuel Hall (JD Wetherspoon), Sherwood, Nottingham

This is built in the Northern part of the bus / tram depot that appears to be still operating. It's got the usual assortment of Spoons furnishings with the addition of a sofa or two. I didn't venture into the upstairs area. There was a group of selfish parents who were allowing their offspring to run amok around the ground floor. They seemed hopelessly short staffed with a long wait to be served and uncleared tables everywhere. The bar has two sets of five hand pumps which on my visit had Ruddles, one unclipped and eight festival beers. I went for the Robinson's Trooper 666 (£2.15 festival / standard guest price) which was cloudy and pretty poor. I may have caught this one on a bad day but I wasn't at all impressed.

Part of the former Sherwood tram depot / bus garage, forming an elongated bar with room for a mezzanine at the front end. Local history displays and artworks on the walls. 'Just' ten handpumps, but still a reasonable selection of local beers (e.g. Nottingham Supreme Bitter £2.15).
