George Hotel (JD Wetherspoon), Bewdley

Popped in for a quick lunch on a wet Monday. The place was quite busy but the service was good. The food was reasonable. I spotted Woods Shropshire Lad, Purity Ubu and Exmoor Gold amongst the usual suspects. My pint of Shropshire Lad was fine. Not a bad Spoons.

Called in for a late breakfast and enjoyed both the food and the beer. Better selection than most due to the beer festival being current, and our choices were Cotleigh Styrian Wolf, Robinsons Freddy Brewger, and Roosters Twenty Four Seven.

A Spoons. Patio at the back. Impressive from the outside, with dormer and bay windows, but sadly the single and very long room (removing much of the historic feel) and covered conservatory area quickly tested my patience. A few photos for interest, the moulded ceiling perhaps its best feature along with a carved wood fireplace, the place was busy and the usual lack of staffing problems arose (although the individual service was fine). Mrs Soup and the youngest Soupette ate as I left to find a real beer, dodging the strange contemporary art on the way out. No music, silent TVs. Usual beers with something equally as dull - I had Thatcher's cider as a protest. Tosh.
