Nice Spoons bar/htel, old inn building allows for a better feel than some and its in 2026 Good Beer Guide. Light and airy spaces around and nice pub

The front of the pub was finished in a mixture of light pastel coloured painted walls. The area was extremely hot and sticky, predominately where people were eating on our lunchtime visit, plus there was a pungent smell of food. The main back room along with the bar situated down the right hand side was fine. I especially liked the barley twist pillars along the bar counter, which supported the pot shelf and the panelled sections along the bar front, all of which was finished in oak. The parquet floor in front of the bar and old pewter tankards hanging from the ceiling beams was another decent feature. There was also a small conservatory area leading off the main room on the left hand side. Beer wise nothing outlandish, so settled on the Theakston Old Peculiar.

This was my first visit to a Spoons hotel. It seemed much the same as others but being an old building and not a shop allows it to be split into small areas. On my lunchtime visit it did seem that a lot of people were there for the food.
On the bar there were ten pumps with the predictable 2 GK beers, Doom Bore available soon and Adnam's Broadside. More interestingly there was Cotleigh Commando, Hook Norton Flagship, White Park Kelly's Stout, Red Squirrel London Porter then Elgood's Cambridge and Concrete Cow Fenny Popper both available soon.
I went for the Red Squirrel Porter which was in very good nick. This is GBG 2015 listed so three beers being unavailable was unfortunate. Despite that it's a reasonable sort of place but think it unlikely I would return partly because the town is so far from the station.
