Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Eight Bells (JD Wetherspoon)
Standard-issue 'spoons, with a sizeable dark-wood interior extending at the back to form a 'L'-shaped layout overall. Fairly modest, duplicated selection of real ales from the two banks of six handpumps on this latest visit: Ghost Ship, Summa This from Branscombe and Frome's Funky Monkey (£2.10) in addition to the usual Ruddles, Doom Bar and Abbot.

Old skool 1990s Timbo Tavern seemingly little altered in the last 30 years. Oblong dark wood panel room with a rear side spur sporting some pleasant Art Deco stylings. Little natural light penetrates so you’ll be cowering like a mogwai upon leaving. Just two guest cask, neither local, and also a poor craft can selection. My Devon Dumpling was par (NBSS 3); it made the GBG'24 which is perhaps mildly surprising. Service very swift and cheery which helped make-up for some of the deficiencies.

Older style spoons that by 12.30pm was packed, lots of families eating and an older clientele enjoying the cheap booze.
Service was swift with the bar staff displaying a knowledge of who was next and serving promptly. 12 hand pumps with 7 different ales on, my pint of Old Diary’s Gold Top was perfect. Low level apart from the small mezzanine level to the rear that also houses the toilets.
Nice enough ‘spoons, cheap beer, ideal location with an roped area on the pavement for smokers and people that want to sit outside.
