Steve C left this review about The Mardi Gras (JD Wetherspoon)
The façade of the Mardi Gras has been designed to look like it has been plucked from New Orleans, but the interior is standard Spoons. The bar counter on the left-hand wall faces open plan seating, and to the right is a mezzanine level which was being closed during my midweek visit around 19:00. Six hand pumps are supported, one was unused and Frome Brewing’s Funky Monkey EPA was coming soon which left Bowman’s Swift One, Salopian’s Oracle, GK IPA and Sharp’s Doom Bar as the cask options. Not a huge choice, but the Oracle was on good form. The service was polite and this is a handy watering hole in the shopping centre, but it’s certainly not a destination pub.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Mardi Gras (JD Wetherspoon)
As the name suggests, in the New Orleans part of the food / drink quarter, and the external appearance does make some effort to fit in with that. Nothing much to say about the interior, however, apart from it initially appearing smaller than expected (until you spot the mezzanine seating area). Modest choice from the two banks of three handpumps: Greene King IPA and Abbot plus Bath Ales Gem and Jemima's Pitchfork from Glamorgan (£2.49).

I'm sure this was reported to be on Wetherspoon's "for sale" list a couple of years back, but it's still here. Only two guests on at this Spoons, and as far as I remember this has always had a bit of a reduced selection compared to some others. However on my most recent visit, both beers I had by Bridegehouse were perfectly fine, and it was a convenient enough location to relax and take a break from shopping. Not really a destination pub to seek out, but if you happen to be in the Trafford Centre it's probably your best option for real ale.
