The Earl of Dalkeith (JD Wetherspoon), Kettering

This is very much an old school 1990s Spoons. It was a furniture shop and consists of an L shaped room with the bar on the right and an upstairs area that I didn't look into. The fact it's not a long narrow room makes it a bit brighter than some of their outlets from that era. I noticed that the standard breakfast here is 40p cheaper than the norm and some other food items were slightly cheaper. The bar has two sets of six hand pumps. One set had the JDW Trio Of Doom, two ciders and Vale Gravitas and the other had Wychwood Hobgoblin & Hobgoblin Gold, Osprey Rutland Panther & Rutland Osprey, Adnam's Broadside and White Park White Gold. I had time to try the Rutland Osprey and the Hobgoblin Gold both in excellent condition at £2.15. Although this place is looking a bit tired I thought it was a decent Spoons.
