Strongers . left this review about The Captain Alexander (JD Wetherspoon)

Crossing over the road from the pub opposite I noted a few people sitting at café seating that runs along the wall outside of the Captain Alexander between its two entrances. After climbing the steps to the door, I learned that the right-hand entrance is just a fire exit, so I had to do the walk of shame past the café table crew to the left-hand entrance. High two-seater tables run along the front windows with a couple of rows of standard sized tables behind. The serving counter runs up the right-hand wall where it faces rows of high tables and more standard tables up the centre before booths that run up the left-hand wall to stairs at the rear that climb to a roof terrace that was closed during my recent late Monday afternoon visit. At the rear is a large kitchen hatch that looks over more standard seating. The counter supports two banks of five hand pumps that were drawing the usual three Spoons classics plus Jaipur, Exmoor Gold, Phoenix Brewery’s Arianna, Coach House’s Cheshire Gold, Conwy Brewery’s Rampart and Peerless Brewing’s Lone Ranger. The service was polite, but this is a Spoons with little character or atmosphere, even when busy.
