Large interior and 'spoons like without the keen pricing,souless and largely empty ,the sight of a singe handpump offering Doom Bar was enough to beat a quick retreat.You can do better in Gainsborough ...just.

Is a bar? Is it a pub? No it’s a spoons a like! Yep one of those places where only the absence of a unique carpet and other subtle clues tell you this isn’t a real spoons. Silent big screens with sub titles, split level, fruit machines, mix of seating tick, tick, tick, tick, but what’s this only 4 pulls among the dross! And no drinks machines or local interest photos, hello there’s a pool table and what’s more a choice of lovely Doombar or Bombardier, to be fair there was a choice of old or new Bombardier pump clips, either way a very disgusting liquid. Slightly more upmarket lunchtime punters than the nearby spoons. I suspect a return visit is not on the cards.
