Rob Hunter left this review about Lime Kiln (JD Wetherspoon)
I have visited the Lime Kiln a few times in recent years, so surprised to find I have neglected to leave a review. My most recent visit was on Friday for breakfast at around 11:15am or so. It was pretty quiet but then it is a big pub so the customers were spread out. There are two floors. At the bar, nine guest ales available according to the trusty Spoons app, all currently priced at £2.40 a pint.
It's a fairly modern feeling building, lacking in any architectural excitement, and possibly a bit dark and gloomy inside in some sections. However I can't fault the number of ales available and the value for money aspect. Service was swift too.

Ian Mapp left this review about Lime Kiln (Lloyds No 1)
Drops in and out of the Good Beer Guide - I think the local CAMRA have an issue with 'spoons. One year there's several, next none. 2026 a couple are back in.
Everything you would expect from a modern Lloyds/Spoons - multi level, huge bars, some comfy seats if you are lucky/prepared to look. Interesting, I found some booths on the upper floor. The back wall was curved and it meant the conversations from the next booth were massively amplified. Like a whispering gallery in a cathedral. Hats off to the multi-coloured haired student who could fight an army of gorillas after being on the spliff. Bell-ends (the gorillas, not the students and his words, not mine).
What saves this is the extraordinary beer range and price. Some great LocALE options and I went for a perfect full whack from Peerless brewery. 6%. £1.89.
You simply cannot knock it.

Lime Kiln is a large Lloyds No 1 with a serving counter across the rear wall that faces some open plan seating as well as raised seating to the front and right. A large flight of stairs climbs to a mezzanine bar overhead with another smaller counter across the rear and booth seating up the left-hand wall and across the long and thin rear to the right of the counter. There’s also a row of tables next to a long balcony that overlooks the open plan seating below. There’s no cask up here, but amongst the sea of keg on the main bar there are two banks of six hand pumps that were drawing Beartown’s Skinful and Lit, Otter Ale, Higson’s Best, Saltaire’s Blonde, Conwy Brewery’s Rampart, Jaipur, Ringwood’s Forty-Niner, Peerless Little Eye and the usual three suspects. A great line up and my Saltaire was very good. It was busy during my bank holiday Monday early evening visit, including on the raised patio out the front, but there was a good atmosphere, even though a couple of older gents had maybe had a little too much.
