Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Market Cross (JD Wetherspoon)
In different circumstances, this standard-issue 'spoons converted from a Woolworths would hardly be worth more than a cursory note but in an otherwise uninspiring former market town (and long-standing pilgrimage centre, apparently) it is definitely the place to go for a decent pint. Even with a number of duplicated clips on the two banks of five handpumps, there were several interesting beers including two from Big Bog Brewery - the 6.0% Quagmire Premium Ale and the 7.0% Bog Super Genuine IPA - and Dark Side of the Moose from Purple Moose (like the other real ales, all normally £1.99 but luckily for me just £1.85 on Mondays).

A fairly standard Wethers. Usual Wethers fixings inside and as usual with the smaller Wethers its basically a rectangular box. 10 handpumps but 5 beers doubled up. A pretty harmless Wetherspoons.
