The Rupert Brooke (JD Wetherspoon), Rugby

The Rupert Brook is a Spoons house that is situated on a pedestrianised street. Once inside there was a decent sized single room,the bar ran down the left side from the entrance i used,the seating was the usuall mix of tall and normal tables and chairs,there was a small raised area to the rear. There were 10 pumps on the bar,but the choice of guest beers was pretty poor,i had a drink of Springhead Outlawed which went down well on my early morning visit,the other beers i noted were Titanic Iceburg,Abbot,Doom Bar and Ruddles best,there was also some of those american type beers on handpump,which i never drink. I quite liked this Spoons,it seemed very civilised. Pub visited 12/7/2014

A large JDW that was once an indoor market. There's a conservatory area to the left as you enter and a raised family area to the rear, that's the end of the interesting features. I first called in here on a Thursday night, there was football showing on a big screen and the place was packed. After a 10 minute wait at the bar I walked out. Visited again on the following Friday lunchtime. Rather better this time although the service was still pretty slow, even though the place wasn't busy. I had a pint of one of the guest beers whose name escapes me and my notes, it was in good condition. Not for the faint hearted at nights, but not bad during the day.

One of two JDW’s in the town, this one is the old indoor market building. A modern interior - some exposed brick, curved red ceiling and industrial air con pipes in the long main bar with an elevated section to the rear, leading to a small patio garden. Notably light and airy for a Spoons. Plenty of pumps but quite a few off on my late morning visit. My Exmouth Dark was fair. Ate here and the breakfast was fine. So-so Wetherspoons.

A rather ordinary Spoons in what I believe was once a indoor market hall,basically an open plan single room with a raised area to the rear with plenty of seating throughout. 10 pumps with a fairly ordinary range apart from a couple of collaboration beers,a couple of pumps clipped with the rather annoying "Coming Soon" badge. my choice was 6 point Wheat Street at 5%, which was in fair condition . The pub served its purpose for an early meet up venue for the PUG Rugby crawl and the breakfast was adequate but overall a rather bland establishment and I wouldn't plan to visit for any other reason.

A Spoons chain pub and eatery housed in what appears to be an old 1950s factory building. There are two entrances and a patio area. The rear entrance is in white and glas frontage, with a large triangular window. The other entrance has a couple of gable frontages - one in white, the other in brick with a crow-stepping. The interior is a long room, elbow shaped, with a higher level toward the back entrance. The decor is brick and white, with some red wood panel and the most interesting feature is the metal air-duct that ran through the place! Service was fine and the clientele was the usual Spoons mix. The food was fine. Beer; usual tap stuff with Abbotts and Ruddles. I failed to note the real ale guests (schoolboy error). A typical Spoons, just a duller interior than most.
