The Wheatsheaf (JD Wetherspoon), Stoke Central, Stoke-On-Trent

Fairly mundane and run of the mill Wetherspoons fayre with all the usual fixtures and fittings. Although the pub is not large by any standards there was an interesting array of cask beers on display.

The Wheatsheaf is situated in a prominent position on church street looking up to london road. Once inside this is a fairly small Spoons by their standards,the room is L shaped with the bar facing,the left side had tall tables and chairs with small ones on the right side. I have been in lots of Spoons but have never seen a dart board or table skittle table in any but this one had both and the dart board was in use. There were two bannks of six pumps on the bar with two unclipped and two with waiting,this left eight real ales,i had a drink of Titanic Full Steam Ahead this was a very nice well kept beer,the other beers i noted were Lymestone Stone Gold,Oxfordshire Hibernation,Exmoor Beast,Bass,GK Abbot and Ruddles best. My only moan was having my beer served in a plastic glass because Stoke were at home,the two friendly bar staff said this was not of their choice,they also said only plastic glasses today but you can have a steak knife !!. As far as Spoons go i quite liked this one and would happily return here. Pub visited 12/1/2013
