The Wye Bridge House is an staple-shaped Wetherspoons with a central L-shaped serving counter that supports two banks of five hand pumps that were duplicated with the usual three suspects plus Titanic’s Plum Porter and Robinson’s Dizzy Blonde. Not a great selection, but the Porter was spot on and went down a treat, especially at £2.50 a pint. The pub itself is rather forgettable, but on the walk up I did stop to witness a freight train passing across the railway bridge above the pub which was slightly more interesting.

An absolute nightmare of a road to try and get across to this JDW. Thankfully we only had one drink so getting back was fine. The first thing to notice, was the large front beer garden. The interior colour scheme in here was mostly caramel and coffee painted walls in the main part of the pub. The far end of the pub had dark blue painted panelling and walls to match. Ten handpumps with five either end of the bar. Pretty boring line up, the usual suspects apart from a Titanic Cherry Porter and Redemption Big Chief. I went for the Redemption which was fine. I wouldn't make the effort again to get here.

This felt like a strange branch of Wetherspoons, located on a road leading out of town, away from the town centre and accordingly quiet on my mid-week visit. However, the lack of customers may have partly been due to the fact that their kitchen was closed for a refurbishment, so no food was available. You enter via a front patio seating area next to a busy main road, into a carpeted, long room with plain painted walls and some low wood wall panelling, art deco light features and the servery midway down the left-hand side of the room. Tables and chairs fill the front space near the entrance, with lots of high tables and stools opposite the bar, as tends to be the case in most 'Spoons pubs. More seating can be found to the rear, but it was all stacked up and marked as out of bounds due to the aforementioned refurbishment. The bar has a timber fronted counter with a polished stone top and plain bar back, looking like a hundred other 'Spoons serveries you've doubtless seen before. Several slots machines were quite prominently positioned and I noticed a few TV screens, all of which were switched off. There's a display case opposite the entrance with some odd sculpted animals on show and the usual local history boards and black and white photos can be seen around the walls.
The pub's limited capacity had a knock on effect at the bar, with the three regular 'Spoons ales supplemented with just two guests, and all of the above were doubled up across two banks of five handpulls. I tried the Magpie Jay IPA, which was in good shape and served to me by a very cheery barmaid, whilst another barmaid was busy on the floor, scrubbing table and chair legs whilst customers moved around her.
I think this could be quite a nice 'Spoons experience, but I clearly caught it at a bad time, with much of the pub and its services out of action. The service was good and the garden looked like it would be great in the summer, but there wasn't too much else to shout about on this visit and I preferred the more central pubs than this outlier.
