In the 2027 Good Beer Guide. Absolutely rammed on a Saturday afternoon - lots of Fulham fans, who judging by the time, did not realise that the ground is a fair way out the city.
Not a single table to be had anywhere but after quick service at the bar (an excellent Exmoor Red for less than £3), I headed to the small upstairs and found a single stool and ledge (it had a number, but too small to be a table) on the way to the ladies loos.

First and second floors on a mock Tudor building ,you enter into a smallish bar area with two ranks of handpumps and mainly high tables in a low ceiling space while up a couple of steps (or chair lift) to a large square dining style area.Up the staircase to a seperate,more comfortable lounge with another servery at a lower level but the ale choice up here is just the Trio of Doom and a single guest,so buy downstairs unless you like dross.
Besides the regular Trio of Doom ,the guests on my visit were Exmoor Red,Maxim John Bull Stout,Rebellion Knucker,Byatts Octobock and Burning Sky East India Porter ,NBSS Very Good.That's a good mix of styles and strength among the guest ales and given the conditioning and friendly service I would be happy to return expecting to fine good ale.

Nicely decorated with a splash of dark turquoise. Decent selection of guest cask and my Schiehallion was in good order (NBSS 3.5) with a bit of chat from the staff as well. The downside is that it’s a bit cramped inside – smaller floorspace than the exterior might suggest. Better than it was back in 2011, anyway. 6.5

A 1999 JDW situated in a wonderfully facaded mock Tudor building, making it look a bit posher than usual (indeed, it has a ‘diner's only’ area!). The interior has a split-level layout and has recently been tastefully refurbished, I could smell the furniture showroom whiff quite clearly above the usual other inherent Spoons smells. Disappointingly, a large number of ales over the two banks of handpulls were ‘coming soon’, despite it being mid-afternoon. I also found the service rather slow and sloppy. My (eventual) pint of RCH Fiery Liz was fine though. File under ‘pop in and take a look’. Rated 5
