Will Larter left this review about The Wye Bridge House (JD Wetherspoon)

It's difficult to be entirely positive about a Wetherspoons, because they're not "real pubs", but this one's a pretty good effort. It's helped by the nature of the building, a conversion of a nice big sandstone house on the banks of the River Wye just outside Buxton's town centre. Inside it's less of a drinking barn than most 'spoons, with tables and chairs dotted about. The beer selection was amazing when I visited, as it was their autumn beer festival. I noted one beer from the Buxton brewery - Kinder Downfall - though there may have been others, plus Thwaites Ribble Rouser, JW Lees Chocoholic and a chestnut-flavoured beer called Catagnale, brewed by Leonardo de Vicenzo specially for JD's beer festival. And that's less than half of the beers available on a Tuesday afternoon, and all at £1.85 a pint - no wonder the other pubs in Buxton are struggling to keep up!
