Sandford House (JD Wetherspoon), Huntingdon

Strongers . left this review about Sandford House (JD Wetherspoon)

Sandford House is a large Wetherspoons housed in an old chapel and an attractive, and very solid, Victorian building that have been spanned by a less interesting extension. The serving counter is found in the chapel end where it runs along the outside wall under a high vaulted ceiling. Above the chapel entrance, that has a very heavy wooden door, is a gallery with some tables which obviously have menus. The counter faces a couple of rows of high tables beyond which is a sea of standard open plan seating that is found in the low-ceilinged extension. Steps at the far end climb into the Victorian building that feels a lot more like a standard Spoons. There’s lots of seating along the windowed walls and a smaller seating area with an impressive log burner is also available. Out the back is a large beer garden that I didn’t visit. On the drinks front, standard and premium keg was available alongside the usual three cask suspects plus Mad Squirrel’s Stimulus, Hawkshead Brewery’s Red, Hogs Back Brewery’s Creature Comforts and Bowman Ales’ Hop Hearted. I love the concept of making a pub out of two completely different buildings, but I think it could have been done better as the extension area is depressing.
