An ok Spoons this one. Very busy, plenty of curries flying out for their Curry Club on Thursday. 6 handpumps with the usual suspects doubled up. I spotted Robinsons Trooper, Exmoor Stallion & Salcombe Shingle Bay. I had a quick half of the Salcombe. Plenty of space here with the multi room layout. Alright for a quick visit.

A bit of a maze this one, obviously an old hotel that’s been ‘spooned, the road side front and side of the building are a collection of small interconnected rooms, you need to keep going towards the back of the place before it opens out into a large bar with the counter to the left. It looks like this is an extension and there’s a garden like space to the right. One long counter as usual with a six plus six split, unholy trinity on both but one set has guest beers, the other guest ciders. A mark of regular sanity is the upstairs toilets. Beer ok- ish.

My first pub visit in England for 18 months! I was not disappointed. Wetherspoons will never be my favourite pubs but I am glad they are there. With a mixture of Boris's and Tim's rules, my 10am Friday morning visit was very pre-Covid like! Bar service with no masks and no track & trace details.
My 5.0% pint of Salopian at £2.19 per pint was a bargain that I had not expected even in a Wethers!
It was on fine form. My breakfast and free coffee top up also went down very well. Even the service was quick and friendly. The rare town centre Wethers outside "garden/patio" area was enjoyed by diners and drinkers alike in the warm sunshine. A very enjoyable visit gives a rare Wethers score of 9. but very deserved on the day.
