Long thin JDW pub which on entry boasted an attractive floral display of hanging baskets,a good selection of real ales and a friendly and efficient bar team.
Thought this was an above average Spoons and seemed to certainly have more atmosphere than The Gatehouse,and the pint of Exmoor Stag was in fine form

A rather more upmarket 'spoons than usual,the interior has a lot of wood paneling and a traditional looking bar back,above which is an open gallery with a faux walkway while further towards the rear there is a circular roof light.Some interesting features to be sure.The two banks of six handpumps had Ruddles Bitter,Abbott and Pedigree all doubled up,but that still left a good selection of guests,Slaters Top Totty and Citrus,Cotleigh Osprey and Blindmans Golden Spring on my trip,all in good nick.The only fly in the ointment were flatscreens showing East Enders with subtitles,that's not what I come to a pub for.
Well worth including on a crawl ,and given the good selection of real ales I will be tempted to pop in when next in the area.

A fair Wetherspoons with a decent range of ales including a couple of local brews in decent nick (forgot to note the brewery). Interior is a bit lighter and airier than usual (having the main window open was helpful on a muggy summer's evening) and I think that makes a difference. Worth a look when crawling the town.

think we all know what to expect from a SPOONS place; cheap beer but varied, food, understaffed, rammed, mixed clientele and so forth.
As Spoons go, this is fine, but you have to catch it at the right time. whereas the SPOON in Wolverhampton seems to be a permanent hole. Yes, you get some chavs in, but i dont think they are as bad as some of the vacuous people that occupy some of the other 'bars' in the town
Beer has always been varied on the handpull front. I cant say i have had a bad pint as a result of the place, just the beer itself was not to my liking.
There are too few staff, but those i have encountered have always been friendly, but it is difficult for them when the place is rammed. The food has always been fine, basic stuff.

I went in this pub before christmas..I wasn't impressed! Firstly I had to wait an extra half an hour for the bar-maid to open up, and secondly, the second pint that I was served had a huge head on it, I asked the other bar-maid politely to top it up and she was quite rude to me. I won't be going there for a while.
