Just for a change, not a typical Spoons. Being located in Chinatown, they have tried to create an Oriental effect. This sort of works outside, with Chinese lanterns and decorations, but less so inside, where the dark woodwork and lack of windows gets a bit cavernous. Personally I think they have got the lighting wrong and there are too many rows of tables squeezed in. Decor apart, it has the usual Spoons facilities but only two guest ales and service seems a bit hit and miss. Adequate but only just.

I'm knocking off all the city centre ones doing a Geocaching Adventure Lab Cache. Dont ask me why. This is the worst by a county mile.

Dark and dingy inside. Two bars but one unmanned. I ordered a Black Pheasant, one of the guest ales, but after paying was told it was off. So were all the other guest ales. Upsold myself a Leffe - I am sure a more tolerant bar member would have let me off the difference. Oh no - much to the chargrin of my fellow spoonsters, she caculated the difference and made me pay twice.

Avoid.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Dragon Inn (JD Wetherspoon)

Distinctly unremarkable 'spoons comprising a large, irregular 'L'-shaped space with various different seating areas and a few patio tables out front. Dimly lit, with two separate bar counters. Ten handpumps in total, but always has lots of duplicates and mostly the usual Ruddles / Doom Bar / Abbot suspects, with Stonehenge Great Bustard being the most interesting thing on offer on my latest visit. Always a disappointment, but I get drawn back occasionally as somewhere to eat if arriving on a late train before stopping overnight in one of the nearby hotels.
