Small and fairly new Spoons right by Euston station. Well described below. We had a pint of Granny Wouldn't Like It from Wolf Brewery which was fine. Handy if you a little time to kill waiting for a train but there are better options nearby.

I had half an hour to kill on a recent midweek afternoon while waiting for my train at Euston so I decided to tick off the Captain Flinders, which is a very small Wetherspoons that has been open now for about a year. Through the central tiled entrance are high tables across the front windows and then high and standard tables sit either side of the central walkway that runs to the serving counter across the rear. Five of the six hand pumps were in operation drawing the usual three plus East London Brewing’s Cowcatcher and Burton bridge’s Santi Freeze. The service wasn’t the most welcoming, but this was my first trip to London in a while so expect it was just the usual capital charm. The disabled toilets to the left of the counter were spotless, and very welcome before embarking on the next leg of my journey.

As a regular user of Euston station, I've been aware of the opening of this branch of Wetherspoon's for some time. However, I've often checked their app and found no particular beers that interest me and also a lack of ciders.

However earlier today after an aborted train journey from Euston due to the storm, we returned to the station and with few other venues open at 9am in the morning, we were obliged to try the Captain Flinders.

Once again this morning, the Wetherspoon's app didn't reveal anything too promising on the beer and cider front. Regular beers are Sharp's Doom Bar & Greene King Abbot & IPA. Guests shown on the app were Sambrook's Wandle & Powerhouse Porter. However, we arrived to find a third guest- Twickenham Cinnamon Swirl Stout and also a cider in a box in the fridge - Weston's Old Rosie. Neither had been available on the app, which proves that you should never trust it. I was happy to try both, along with the porter.

These premises used to be a seedy lap dancing club, a place we used to pass by on the way to breakfast before catching a train. These days, this branch of 'spoon's is one of their smaller ones, with a single room and downstairs toilets. The gents seemed far too small for the volume of customers on our Saturday morning visit. Just a couple of cubicles in the gents means queues at peak times.

Being so close to the station, the pub inevitable attracts football fans such as ourselves, coming too and from games on matchdays. There were at least 6 different teams represented during our visit, with all getting on happily, both eating and drinking. Even a visit from the special branch couldn't find anything untoward. However, I suspect things can turn sour at times.

Nevertheless I was pleasantly surprised by this branch, but will still probably only call in on irregular occasions, despite my regular visits to Euston station. Unfortunately there are still far better pickings, not only in the vicinity, but in the plethora of destinations that Euston offers.
