A large and long interior with entrances at both ends and the usual multitude of seating throughout. Not being a fan of Spoons I don't always plan to visit the venues when plenty of other options are available, however in Marlow's case the town is a bit narrow minded when it comes down to beer variety so seeing there was a Spoons beer festival on the go it offered the chance to up the beer game, I had a couple in good condition, Saltaire Elderflower Blonde and Birrificio Italiano Nigredo.
Not the worst ever Wetherspoons I've been in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Grand Assembly (JD Wetherspoon)

Newish (2024) 'spoons, and despite some snooty locals thinking that this upmarket town didn't want or need such a place, it seems to be doing fine. Don't be misled by the relatively narrow frontage, as it extends back a long way and there is plenty of space in the bar and seating / dining areas at each end. All given a traditional look, with plenty of rowing memorabilia as you would expect. Good selection from the two banks of six handpumps, including the seasonal Exmas from Exmoor, Titanic Advent Ale and Holbeck's Santa Baby (£2.59) plus Jem's Stout from Great Newsome, a couple of ciders and the usual trio of Greene King IPA, Doom Bar and Abbot.

Attractive green tiled frontage leading to a surprisingly large interior with a division that feels like two buildings merged back-to-back. Classily done décor to a high standard with some tidy touches such as the decals at the front, swan tiling, chandelier lighting and the classic Spoons booths which have paddle dividers. This links to the Three Men in a Boat theme, with the 'first class nectar' quote writ large on a wooden board in gold leaf aside the bar. To the rear is a nice tiered patio garden with book spines painted onto the steps, I imagine they'll get grubby fairly quick though. A faintly incredible six guest ales, mainly festival leftovers so I suspect it’ll drop to three or four in time. My Titanic was perfunctory, probably fag end in fairness (NBSS 2), Red Racer (3) and Evan Evans (3.5) came out better. I suspect the lines in here are very long, so throughput on the ales may become an issue. I was mildly wondering whether Timbo had gone too supersized with this venture but as the clock ticked past five on a Monday afternoon the place slowly began to fill-up and was easily 70% by tables taken when I ambled out at 7pm. I thought this was a plush, palatial Spoons and would happily drop in again. 7.5
