The Draper's Arms (JD Wetherspoon), Peterborough

Rammed on my Saturday lunchtime visit , we managed to grab the last free table towards the rear , we intended to have breakfast here but just missed the 12 o`clock cutoff thanks to road closures on the way , so settled for a burger instead . Service was quick and the beer choice pretty good , i had a Brewsters Hop Head which was spot on. Decent enough spoons this .

This seems to be an old school Spoons but didn't open as a JDW until 2005. The reason may be that prior to that it was a pub called the Old Monk. It's a long narrow room with the bar on the right and some booths on the left. There are ten hand pumps on the bar that on my visit had the two GK Beers, Doom Bore, Directors, Woodforde Wherry, Jennings Pigs Might Fly, Brewster's Hophead, Adnam's Old, Oakham Bishop's Farewell and Cairngorm Wild Cat. I went for the local Hophead (£2.25) which was outstanding. Overall this is one of the better Spoons but a less mainstream beer selection would be appreciated. It's rightly GBG 2016 listed.
