The Hatter's Inn (Lloyds No. 1), Bognor Regis

A typical large shop-conversion 'Spoon's, which about sums it up. it does have quite a good range of beers, which is pretty unique for the town.

The Hatter’s Inn is a large open plan Wetherspoons (Lloyds No. 1 – What’s the difference?) in the centre of Bognor Regis. There were quite a few people taking advantage of the good value breakfast when I visited not long after 10am on Saturday morning. I went for a stomach lining large breakfast (2 of everything) that set me back £5. The food was delivered in good time, but the service at the bar was painfully slow. I’m uncertain why the lone barman felt it appropriate to stop for a conversation whilst four people were standing at the bar waiting to be served. Twelve hand pumps are supported alongside a standard and premium keg range.

This is a Lloyds No. 1 but as far as I could see is a standard Spoons dating from 1996. It's a converted supermarket and is a typical large barn which was busy on my late Saturday afternoon visit. Surprisingly it's in the 2015 GBG, but there was nothing wrong with the pint I had. The bar had two banks of six hand pumps that included two unused, a cider, Irving Invincible, Goldmark IPA & Vertigo, GK Abbot & Ruddles, King Lost Kingdom, Welton Hops 'n' Heat, Adnam's Rogue Brutal IPA and a Langham beer. I went for the Lost Kingdom (£2.20) which was in good nick. I wasn't all that taken with this one but it might be OK at a quieter time.
