Wetherspoons have revived an old pub,so hats off to them.The internal decor tries to retain a Victorian pub feel but the furniture and menus everywhere is unmistakenly 'spoons.However the wooden bar back and photos of Burnley in it's heyday do add some character to what is essentially an open plan interior on different levels.
It makes it into the 2012 GBG on the strength of it's ten handpumps which were offering a wide selection of Locales,with only two handpumps taken up by the obligatory GK Abbott and Ruddles Best.There was even room for an Old Rosie cider.
Ale quality was fine but dozy service didn't give a good first impression.However at least it was open on a Monday evening unlike two other GBG listed pubs,The Ministry of Ale and Bridge Beir Huis.Had they been opened,I am not sure this review would have occurred,despite this being an above average part of Tim's empire.
