As so often with JDWs, the Water House's main interest is the building itself. It's an old commercial building rather than a pub, spacious and airy but spoiled by tacky furniture and uninteresting food. It is a good place to meet for a morning coffee, but being just outside the historic bit of the City it doesn't fall neatly into a crawl where the ale quality is paramount. The atmosphere is a bit lacking, the staff are friendly, the beer is too cold and the clientele is a mixed bag ranging from suits to drunks. All in all a typical, if poorer than average, 'spoons.

Smallish Wetherspoons with an unusual seating arrangement at the back of the pub. Usually has 3/4 guest ales on alongside the usual crew, pretty well kept in my experience. Service is pretty good but being close to the bus station/railway station it gets it's fair share of pondlife. It's OK for one.
