The Buck Inn (JD Wetherspoon), Northallerton

A Spoons take over and rebuild of an old pub, the old pub is so marginalised and so much is rebuilt that this probably counts as a new pub. The entrance is through a glass arch leading into a long thin building with the counter to the right behind where the old pub bar was, the normal style Spoons extends behind with the toilets upstairs as usual. The counter is down the right side and it appears to have reclaimed the rear of the original building along with a seating area at the very front. Mainly seated drinking areas in front of the counter and down the opposite side in the usual high / low mix. Six plus six banks of pulls with Abbott, Doombar, and Ruddles, interspersed with better beers, some sort of Celt fest seemed to have overtaken Northallerton with beers from Purple Moose, Orkney and Harviestoun on sale, a bit ironic given the Scots defeat up the road at the Battle of the Standard.
