The Sedge Lynn (JD Wetherspoon), Manchester

Lovely building inside an out. A early 1900s billiard hall does resemble an air craft hanger but it is pretty inside. Better than average spoons. Service was quick. I saw someone cleaning away the tables. Good value, as always.

The Sedge Lynn is a relatively small Spoons that still manages to feel like an aircraft hangar. The bar counter on the rear wall supports two banks of six handpumps, I went for a decent pint of Barnsley Gold for £2.10. The service was great, but the toilets were an absolute disgrace. Little shit balls everywhere, like the rabbit king had purged. I had to wipe my feet on the way out of the pub.

Rather impressive converted former temperance billiards hall, with a feature entrance via a small pagoda and a fair-sized rectangular space under an impressive wooden-arched roof. As a Grade II listed building, there is little that can be done to alter the main structure so the bar and kitchen look rather shoe-horned in at the far end but they have somehow managed to avoid the place feeling (or sounding) cavernous. Reasonable selection of real ales from the two banks of six handpumps, including a decent pint of Acorn Blonde (£2.49).

A fairly small Wethers that I found rather nice. Due to its size its a lot less overblown than most Wethers. The high arched ceiling gives the place a larger-than-is feeling. 12 handpumps on the bar with 11 on today. I quite liked this place despite a continuing blowing noise coming from some clock thing above the bar.
