The Crossed Peels (JD Wetherspoon), Stirling

Being a typical Wetherspoons pub, this is rather bland and characterless, but excellent value for money. I had a meal and a pint of Innis and Gunn’s lager for only £5.35 and there is the usual wide selection of other drinks on draught. These include Fosters, Carling, Carlsberg, Kronenbourg and Tuborg lagers, John Smith’s, Guinness and Strongbow, Stowford Press and Thatcher’s Gold ciders. Again typically for the chain, it‘s a huge place with lots of seating as well as standing room. It’s on two levels, with entrances at the front and back, both of which lead onto different streets, one street being higher than the other. The upper floor has a beer garden, although it’s really just a concreted area with plants rather than an actual garden.
