The Auctioneer is a long and thin open plan high street pub with split level seating throughout that is faced by a long bar counter that runs up the right hand wall. Lots of televisions are in situ for showing live football and I spotted a pool table on the CCTV behind the bar, not sure where it is though. There were three or four people in here during a late midweek evening visit, so it was very depressing. Two of the six hand pumps were badged, the Pedigree was off so Well’s Bombardier was the lone ale choice. Standard and premium keg was also available. I expect that it gets rammed in here at the weekend, not with the likes of me though.

This is an Amber Taverns pub that is a brazen imitation of a Spoons, albeit a pretty dismal one. It's a long carpeted room with a few raised areas and there are TV screens everywhere which the few gormless looking punters were glued to. I felt compelled to check whether this was a former JDW and it wasn't.
Although the bar has six hand pumps there were two unused leaving the dismal choice of Jennings (Marston) Snecklifter & Cockerhoop, Pedigree and London Pride. I went for the Pedigree (£2.20) which was very poor in that it wasn't clear and tasted awful.
This is another Amber Taverns pub that is a complete waste of time.

As mentioned below, this is a king of Wetherspoons-lite (though strictly speaking it’s closer to a Lloyds No.1). We took a chance on it. The interior was lit up like a mid-80’s episode of Top of the Pops and the booming music choice matched. Oddly, golf was being shown on the myriad of screens. Four ales on 2x Cross Bay Wells Cauldron and Hobgoblin. We tried the Wells and one of the Cross Bay beers and both were truly awful, stagnant dishwater. Shame.
