The Red Lion (JD Wetherspoon), Crawley

Visited 02/06/26. Visited previously for ticking on 04/09/18 but visited pretty much every time I have flown out of North Terminal. Cask here was two sets of five hand pumps dispensing the same offering of GK IPA, Abbot & Doom Bar plus then two from Twickenham, the Naked Ladies and the Wolf of the Woods bitter. Keg range of Guinness, K1664, Leffe Blonde, Corona, Stella, Budweiser, Bud Light, Carling, Angelo Poretti, original & dark fruits SB, Stowford Press cider, Carlsberg, BrewDog Punk IPA. Smaller keg range than most JDW, but then again most here on this visit looked like they would be happy if there was a single unbranded lager to consume! Monstrously busy JDW at my pre 7am arrival. The bar counter is along the rear wall with little clearance between it and the densely packed tables on the main floor space. The venue is bare boarded and packs in the usual array of JDW seating options, mainly tall tables in the large part of the venue. There are some booth tables at its extremities and indeed an upstairs seating area to the right-hand side of the bar counter. Screens were showing BBC News absent sound and there were some adverts on the bar counter for their new venue airside in Alicante airport! Am sure the large group of lads sitting next to me that were heading there will remember that for their return flight in a week or so!
