I'm not sure there's much change from the Spoons, apart from the cask ale offering, the background music and the live sports on TV. Actually, this pounding repetitive beat is not by any stretch of the definition "in the background". My half of Landlord was in decent condition (NBSS 3.5, £4.10/pint - also available Wainwright Amber, pump clips turned round for Hobgoblin IPA and Saltaire Blonde) but this is the first of my three Mountain Pub Company visits to result in a "do not revisit" black mark.

Will Larter left this review about The Sir Norman Rae (JD Wetherspoon)
I'm not a great fan of Wetherspoons and only came in here because I had done all the open pubs in Shipley that I wanted to do and had half an hour to kill before my train. This unusually shaped building has been adapted well, despite the toilets being on a different floor, and as has been commented below is smaller and more publike than a lot of 'Spoons. I quite liked it here - to be honest, I would be well-disposed towards any pub, 'Spoons or not, that could serve me a half of excellent Elland 1872 Porter for just £1.05. Yummy!

As noted below this is a modern curved building. Inside it's a single room with fairly typical furnishings. It was doing a brisk trade when I arrived on a Wednesday morning with a typical mix of families, shoppers and a few of the daytime brigade. I was after a breakfast here and was delighted to find that the standard one was only £2.79 as opposed to the usual £3.25. The large one was £4.29 rather than £4.95 but I wasn't that hungry!
The bar has two sets of five hand pumps which had the two GK beers, one from Settle / Nine Standards, Goose Eye Chinook, Elland 1872, Hobgoblin, Caledonian Thunder Trail, Daleside Monkey Wrench & Premium Gold and Rudgate Olympian. The absence of Doom Bore was a plus point. I had a pint of the 1872 (£2.25) porter which went down a treat with the excellent breakfast. I wasn't keen on the building but thought this was a reasonably good JDW. The JDW directory has no indication that it was once a Lloyds.
