Rob Hunter left this review about The Tanners Hall (JD Wetherspoon)
Visited on a Tuesday afternoon in June. I was going to try the other Spoons in Darlington, but I was after food and this branch had some specials available on the menu, which made it too good to turn down on that particular occasion.
Four guest ales available so not bad on that front. However it does feel like a bit of a Spoons for down and outs. Coffin dodgers were smoking in the rear beer garden, with the fumes infiltrating into the pub.
Most unusually, after ordering on the app, my drink arrived after the food.
Not a terrible experience but as mentioned, I only really sought it out for the food deal they had on at the time, and in that respect it served its purpose.

The Tanners Hall is a Wetherspoons with raised seating to the left and right of the entrance and a long serving counter up the right-hand wall that faces rows of high tables that run up to open plan standard tables and chairs at the rear. Two banks of six hand pumps are supported, the options were the usual three plus Daleside’s Old Legover and Morocco Ale, Oakham’s Citra and Adnams' Broadside. The service was polite and I thought the atmosphere in here was superior to the other Spoons in town.

A middling Spoons interior, dark wood in attendance but not the full faux-Victoriana (maybe it’s had a refurb since opening?). There are some discrete areas but basically it’s a Spoons-U-Like. Obviously understaffed. Four guest ales, my Daleside Special didn't clear and tasted like it hadn’t either (NBSS 1.5). This is supposed to be the better of the two Spoons in town but to be honest I didn’t really rate either that much.
