Pretty standard Spoons. Always difficult to get a seat in here as it's always rammed. The Back of Beyond the other end of town is my preferred choice. Always seems to be plenty of staff on hand. Not the best Spoons by a long shot.

Little in the way of progress. It's getting really desperate in here now.
October 2014
The least inspiring of the town's Spoons - very functional dark brown rectangular room, decorated from the Spoons 1997 catalogue with a faint whiff of despair added. The wait at the bar is often over 5 minutes at busy times and the place is usually understaffed as a standard feature. I've walked out of here a few times before now. Tim really needs to throw some money at this one.

Absolutely typical town centre Spoon's. Seemed quite well-run, if rather unexceptional, but a reliable place for a pint or three.
