Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bishop Vesey (JD Wetherspoon)
Quite a good 'spoons on a corner plot in the Boldmere shopping area. Usually busy in the main bar and seating areas, with the main feature of note at the front being a dartboard. Further back, there is a 'library' and beyond that a decent-looking patio beer garden. Quieter in the smaller upstairs dining area. Excellent selection of 11 real ales from the two banks of eight handpumps on this visit, with a mix of regular, beer festival and other beers. In the end, I went for Black Sheep's Astronomer (in good shape).

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Bishop Vesey (JD Wetherspoon)
I quite liked this Spoons, the layout was good and the there was plenty of room both inside and out. Two banks of 8 handpumps with the majority doubled up. There were 2 Backyard Brewery beers Hoard and Harmony, along with Adnam's Ghost Ship. The beers were in great condition and prices excellent.

As others have said below, this is an above average ‘Spoons which makes it a good option around these parts. The glazed ceiling over the front part of the bar makes it light and airy, and the furniture and décor are in relatively good order. The church pulpit by the entrance provides a nod to the eponymous bishop, or maybe it’s where Tim preaches to the perverted. Ales on were Exmoor Gold, Salopian Hop Twister, Backyard Hoard, Purity Bunny Hop and Ubu, Burton Bridge CD and Damson Porter. No cider was apparent, though. Very handy for the Travelodge.
