The Wagon Works (JD Wetherspoon), Eastleigh

'Wagon Works' Formerly the Old Tavern, now a Wetherspoons 'Wagon Works' in tribute to Eastleigh history with Train & Carriage making. It’s really nice to see this pub redecorated and refurbished, quite a contrast to its former days, they have interesting display of sepia photographs around the bar of all things Locomotive (although I couldn’t figure out the large over the top mirrors that you can’t see into!) I enjoyed a lunchtime pint of Admiral Nelsons, with their burger deal for £4.75. They had at least 6 other real ales on tap, and were advertising a beer festival for the next month. The bar staff were friendly enough, but I guess it just lacked a bit of atmosphere. However it was nice to see that the old pub is being used by all generations Eastleigh’s community. 27th October 2009
