The Coliseum (JD Wetherspoon), Abergavenny

Very attractive entrance to this former cinema, but the interior to be found once you have climbed a flight of stairs is a disappointingly plain barn. Usual 'spoons furniture and decor. Narrow balcony at the back. Reasonable selection from the ten handpumps, including various local beers such as Thunderbird from the Kite Brewery (£2.25).

Abergavenny’s JDW, converted from an old cinema. Some nice old tiling outside (see pics). Unusually for a Spoons, go up a few steps to enter. This leads to a single open plan room with some ironwork supports crossing the arched ceiling. Fairly nasty interior colour scheme, they really should have done a better job on kitting it out than this though the unusual circular gents were interesting. Understaffed at the bar. Two of the four guest ales off, my Butcombe Matthew was at least in good form. We ate and there were some issues with the food, a companions dish being hot on the outside and freezing cold within (having waited a long enough for it). Disappointing
