Wibbas Down Inn (JD Wetherspoon), Wimbledon, SW19

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Wibbas Down Inn (JD Wetherspoon)

Paid a return visit to this branch of Wetherspoon's on a Saturday morning. I can't remember my last visit in 2017 too well, but suffice to say there are still two entrances with bars at both ends and a rather dark, windowless section in the middle.

The main bar is at the Gladstone Road end. Indeed, if you ordered a cask ale from the Russell Road end, it would be fetched for you from the other bar. However, I believe the keg fonts at the Russell Road end were operational.

We were here for breakfast before watching an early kick off football match at Stamford Bridge. We hadn't quite done our research properly as Wimbledon were also playing at home with the same early kick off time. So, it was probably much busier than normal. Service at the bar was still fairly efficient and the breakfasts we ordered all arrived in a timely fashion, perhaps with the exception of mine where the black pudding I ordered came about 5-10 minutes before the breakfast itself!

There are 5 regular cask ales - Sharp's Doom Bar, Greene King Abbot & IPA, Thornbridge Jaipur & Fuller's London Pride. Guests were Sambrook's Pumphouse Pale, Oakham Cryptologist, Three Acres Session Pale & Skylark Stout, Hook Norton Old Hooky, Surrey Hills Collusion & Twickenham London Porter. Traditional cider has also been re-instated since my last visit. Both Weston's Old Rosie & Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon were on sale.
