It's a bit of a JDW by numbers is this one. A narrow frontage goes back quite a way. At the rear there is a raised seating area to the left. Apart from that everything is standard, except that they have the most arrogant, know nothing, manager I've ever come across.
I had a pint of Quartz Berg which was advertised as a cask conditioned lager, I got a copper coloured brown beer. I mentioned this to the barman, who just shrugged, it tasted fine, so I left it it that. We decided to eat here, so we had another round. This time I had Titanic Captains Smiths strong dark mild. What a surprise, it was light and golden. There had obviously been a mix up with the pump clips.
I went and had a polite word with the manager who was talking to the bouncers leaning on the bar. He told me that I was wrong as he had checked as someone else had mentioned it earlier. I told him that it might be an idea to check again as it was definitely wrong. He had a bit of a strop and told me that he knew it was right and that he knew about his beers. I just said "Yeah, right" and walked away.
The pub is a probably about a 6 and the food was decent enough. But as a special treat, for the sheer lack of politeness and customer service the manager is going to get that knocked down. What an arrogant dipstick.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Lord Burton (JD Wetherspoon)
Distinctly unremarkable 'spoons, with limited window space in the frontage and a low ceiling above the elongated rectangular layout meaning that it is very dark inside. Two small raised seating areas. 12 handpumps - including three duplicates and mostly usual suspects - but my pint of Bass was good value at £1.90.

JD Wetherspoons pub serving a good selection of guests and Greene King IPA at 99p!!! We are having plenty of sorrows to drown lately so the cheaper we can do it the better!! Food is OK for the price but includes a pint too.
