The Willow Grove (JD Wetherspoon), Southport

Actually appears branded as a Wetherspoon rather than a Lloyds, it has a dark moody feel. There is a spacious downstairs bar that opens onto a wide busy road in the town, near the impressive war memorial, as well as having a side entrance. Its set out mainly for standing, and then with areas of usual Wetherspoons tables and chairs and also some booth seating. The back wall could be a tribute to the Selfridges building in Birmingham with its disk shapes all over. Nothing too impressive here and the curse of Wetherspoons striking again with the staffing, they appear very uninterested and not at all cusotmer focused. Its ok, and the 6 real ales are of good quality.
