Bucking Fastard left this review about The Spa Lane Vaults (JD Wetherspoon)
The 'spoons nearest to the station,a good mock tudor exterior in what looks like a former pub rather than a conversion.The interior is raised to the apex with it's own door,while elsewhere there are art deco touches and lots of light wood panelling.Usual mix of 'spoons furniture but the interior is not vast and does feel comfortable.
The bar to the right was featuring the trio of Doom but lots of guests on my trip offering Bradfields Farmers Blonde,Oakham Green Devil IPA,Black Sheep Riggwelter,Milestone Deliverence and West Coast IPA and Brewsters Winter Draws On (NBSS 3.5).Although not in the GBG,I thought that was a very decent guest list and would have no hesitation of using this pub again.One of my better 'spoons visit this year.

A nice exterior but the inside of this Spoons is fairly modern and mundane and felt a bit claustrophobic to me. There was a reasonable range of guest ales from Lincoln Green and others but not much else of note.

This is a fairly typical open plan Spoons as described below consisting of a long room with two sets of five hand pumps. On my Saturday afternoon visit one set had the JDW Trio Of Doom, a cider and Kelham Islan Easy Rider while the other had Locale (ish) beers including Stancil India Ruby, Maxim Swedish Blonde, Lincoln Green Quarterstaff and a Pheasantry beer. I went for the Quarterstaff as a drink with a meal so didn't catch the price but the standard guest ale price here is £2.35. Although this is more expensive than the plusher Portland Hotel this one had a better beer choice so I make that quits between the two.
