Strongers . left this review about Grover & Allen (JD Wetherspoon)
Named after a grocers that traded from these premises around 150 years ago, Grover and Allen is a split-level Wetherspoons with three tiers of seating that rises up the left-hand side of the pub from the entrance to the rear wall. High tables are found at street-level to the right where the long serving counter manned by polite staff runs up the right-hand wall. There’s more raised seating in the right rear where access can be gained to an outside area out the back. I was quite surprised to see a couple of dartboards on the wall at the front end of the serving counter, I think a Spoons in Portsmouth is the only other JDW I’ve seen a dartboard. The counter supports two banks of five hand pumps that were drawing the usual three suspects alongside Exmoor Gold that wasn’t the best, Jaipur and Coach House Brewing’s Innkeepers. This is a run-of-the-mill Spoons, better to have it as an option on the high street than not.

Decent enough Spoons for a shop conversion. The usual trio plus Nethergate Beast and Bishops Nick Forge when I called. I went for the latter and it was fine. Not a bad pub.

This looks like a conversion of one or more shops. Inside it's a square low ceilinged room on two levels. On the lower level the bar is located on the right while up a step leads to an eating area. This rises further at the back where the toilets are located. The fixtures and fittings are fairly typical although it's not an older outlet.
There are nine hand pumps which had two available soon, the JDW Trio Of Doom, Sadler's Peaky Blinder, St Peter's Boo and two festival ales. I went for the Adnam's Sloe Porter (£2.05 festival price) which was in decent condition.
I thought this was a slightly above average Spoons.
