The Jack Fairman (Lloyds No 1), Horley

A tidy Art Deco building originally built as a car showroom (I assumed it was a cinema but perhaps not) and converted in 2007. Slightly odd and jarring interior; bits are done quite nicely and the raised side area has character but the dark red ceiling allied to the industrial ducting and piping feels a bit oppressive – the refurb team need to visit and draw-up a plan. Three guest cask, my Wantsum Thunderbolt was pretty good (NBSS 3.5) and that plus my grub came with very swift service via the app so clearly a well-run JDW. GBG listed as well. One grumble was the apparent lack of smoking/vaping tables out front – I just went ahead and indulged anyway… 6.5

A slightly different Spoons, as mentioned below in an old garage with motor sport connections which provides the general theme. I am not quite sure how the prominent shelves of books come in, but I quite liked the overall feel of the place, with completely different styles in different areas. Service seemed a little patchy but the beers were fine. Guest ales were Flack's Black Jack, By The Horns Stiff Upper Lip and Oakham JHB.
