The College Arms (JD Wetherspoon), Peterborough

The College Arms is a long and thin Wetherspoons with a bar counter on the rear wall that faces seating along the front windows. More seating is found to the right and left of the bar and in the left rear is a sunken seating area where access can be gained to a large rear patio area. The bar supports two banks of six hand pumps that were drawing the usual suspects alongside Maxim Brewery’s Double Maxim and Wolf Brewery’s Granny Wouldn’t Like It. The staff were very friendly, but the other Spoons in town had a far superior ale range.

Now badged as Wetherspoons rather than Lloyds it's a standard spoons set up; a long thin place parallel to the road. The building is interesting on the outside and was the site of a technical college at one time hence the name. Light and spacious rather than dark and cramped but not as good as the Drapers Arms. Two banks of six pulls plus a three pull set in the middle with cider on. Took my money before pulling any beer, irritating; especially as it was a short measure.
