Sir John Arderne (JD Wetherspoon), Newark

This is a medium sized Spoons that opened last century in Summer 1999. Inside it's fairly standard with the bar at the back and a room for eating on the left. It was busy on my Saturday afternoon visit but not impossibly so. There are two banks of five hand pumps. The beer selection wasn't that great with the two GK beers doubled up, one pump unused, Doom Bore, Jennings Snecklifter, Pheasantry Pale Ale, Oldershaw Alchemy and Wadworth Dungarvan Irish Red. I went for the Alchemy (£2.15) which was in good nick. I also had a tuna baguette with salad and a pint of Alchemy that came to just £4.39. I would say this is an average or slightly above average Spoons.

A fairly small Wetherspoon's that can get very busy.Fair range of real ale.
