Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Last Judgement

This interesting conversion was still a Wetherspoon's (The Knights Templar) when I last called in some 13 years ago, but now run by Berkeley Inns. Housed in the front part of this impressive former bank building, the bar is still located in a grand hall under a high ceiling, with the steps up to the restaurant area at the left-hand end. Not crammed with furniture so it feels a bit cavernous, but I called in at quite a quiet time so the echoing interior didn't sound too deafening. With three of the six handpumps in use, I found Landlord, Hobgoblin Gold and Adnams' Ghost Ship (£6.25) being served.

standard bank conversion Spoons, a noisy big room with some impressive features . Functional but a dark beer would have improved matters. There are far better, more atmospheric and more interesting pubs nearby but it made for a cheap lunch.

A 'spoons conversion of a banking hall,it's all very grand and massive but when busy it's earsplitting noisy.Virtually everybody on the ground floor is vertical drinking with lots of high tables to rest your drinks but any scrum around the bar is dealt with efficiently by a large serving crew,surely a first for 'spoons !
The best features are up the staircase to where a nesting of wood panelled rooms ,some with library features exist,together with a balcony section which overlooks the throng below.Dining tables are throughtout these rooms and this is the place to eat .Beware that 'spoons price this pub in line with the local market so Fish Friday with an alcoholic drink is £11.55 pp ,not cheap at all.
There are two ranks of 6 handpumps but there is a lot of doubling up and a few unused on my Friday afterwork trip meaning a choice of Doom Bar,London Pride,Old Rosie Cider,GK IPA,Vale of Glamorgan South Island (ran out),Sambrooks Scrumdown,Lees True Faith and Higson NZIPA (NBSS 3).Guests at £3.29 also show the London premium.That line up just about justifies a 2020 GBG listing.
Would I return ? There are better pubs in the area but it's functional with a few features.I too had to pay for my pint before it would be pulled.
