Aqualung . left this review about The John Fielding (JD Wetherspoon)
John Fielding was some local geezer who was involved in Rorke's Drift, probably alongside Michael Caine. It's an absolutely hideous building on the outside but we learn from What Pub that it was a pub before JDW came along and called the Moonraker Inn so they are not to blame! Inside it's probably about as good as you could expect and on my Saturday afternoon visit it was packed with all sorts of people.
The bar has two sets of hand pumps with a poor selection on my visit. Beers were the JDW Trio Of Doom doubled up, Bombardier, Ringwood 49'er, Exmoor Gold and Bullmastiff Son Of A Bitch. I went for the 49'er which was in good nick. This place is GBG 2017 listed.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The John Fielding (JD Wetherspoon)
Character-free 'spoons housed in an unattractive single-storey building adjacent to the regional shopping centre. No distinguishing features inside, but very busy when I visited due to Wales v Fiji on the numerous TV screens so settled for a seat on one of the wooden benches outside on the side terrace. Poor selection from ten handpumps, with many duplicates. Plenty of staff on duty, but all - including the duty manager - were clueless about serving in any kind of order (which was irritating many of the locals too).
