A conventional sort of Spoons, quite long and narrow on two levels with an outdoor bit behind. A pretty good selection of 6 guest ales and well-kept judging from my Goff's White Knight. No surprises here but it does ok.

Housed in the building that was once destined to be Watford's Metropolitan Line station, this is a long and cavernous Spoons with areas off left and up top - but at least brightly lit so felt quite perky. Blush red and cream shades, fair enough. Five guest cask, my Sambrooks Black Forest was fine (NBSS 3). Good food and efficient staff – I suppose they have to on the ball here given that JDW HQ is just up the road. Of interest to fellow Spoonerites is that are there are a number of menu items you don't see in the rest of the estate, so I assume that this place acts as a soft-launching pad. Watford town centre hasn’t got much going for it, ale-wise, so dropping-in here is a bit of a default option.

Just had to pay a return visit to what for a couple of years doubled as my lunchtime canteen when I worked in Watford, and glad to find it unchanged and still one of the better ‘Spoons for ale choice.
Of the 16 ale pumps that line the bar in three groups, only Ruddles and Abbott were doubled up and there was a good line up of guests with only one dreaded “coming soon” label from what I could see.
I went for the Shep Neame winter seasonal Cracklewick , and although the beer wasn’t to my taste, it was in good condition.
Having lost a couple of the town centre pubs since my last visit and other apparently focussing away from real ale, the Moon still remains as a beacon of hope in Watford for those who prefer the ale.
