Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Ivy House (JD Wetherspoon)

Odd collection of buildings of varying ages and styles, with first impressions differing depending on which direction you approach the pub. Anyway, all parts have the same general semi-modern look inside the split-level layout, but the garden on two sides is a bit different. Duplicated selection from two banks of six handpumps: the usual Ruddles, Doom Bar and Abbot plus Brains SA, Rev James and Sambrook's Powerhouse Porter (£2.79).

Well described below, this is a modern, airy JDW. Since Aqualung's review, the Kylites have found the pub, though, and it was far from a relaxing experience. Additionally, the food we had was not well served, taking a long time to arrive and was almost cold. The burritos had very little meat in – perhaps they were keeping it Under Wraps. The drink selection was ok though – Ruddles, Two Horses, Fortyniner, Two Brewers's Irish Red and Burton Porter complemented by a fair selection of bottled beers and four boxed ciders. A pity, as Quinno's review makes the potential clear, but it's let down by the humanoids.

This is a new JDW from Spring 2015 that attracted 349 people to sign a petition on change.org against it opening. On my Thursday morning visit there was no sign of the riotous drunkenness that some of the 349 were predicting, in fact I didn't even see any signs of a daytime brigade. As mentioned below it's a long room with a modern interior and several different areas. As the weather was nice I elected to take my pint outside to the large paved patio by the car park.
Available on the twelve hand pumps were 4 ciders, the two GK beers, Hop Art Red Cap and five festival ales. I went for the Wadworth brewed Bibock (£2.45 festival / standard guest price) which was hazy but OK apart from that.
It's a better than average Spoons but more expensive than many as you would expect of a new one in the South.
