2 level Spoons, not much character, though smaller upper area has remains of the church but the main area is standard. Views of the city drop from the terrace

Workmanlike spoons on two floor levels, not hugely memorable. The slightly higher and smaller part has the counter and some tables, the toilets are on this level too. The lower and a bit larger side has the usual spoons style seating, the disabled facility is here. It’s quite a small spoons and has two banks of five but doubled up. Beer quality was pretty good NBSS 3

Quinno _ left this review about The Black Bull Inn (JD Wetherspoon)
A less than obvious place for a Spoons - feels rather cut-off from the immediate town centre - but nonetheless rammed on a Thursday with a queue to get in. Excellent COVID service at the door and on the floor, well-drilled staff. Ecclesiastical feel in the upper bar area, very high vaulted ceiling and arches behind the bar– is this an ex-church? And a prominent Welsh flag to remind you that this is the spiritual home of the Gogs. Just one guest ale, a so-so Rudgate Valkyrie (NBSS 2.5). We ate here and the food, for Spoons standards, was very good. A mixed bag but left happy enough - mainly due to the service, rather than the beer.
