Aqualung . left this review about The Thomas Telford (JD Wetherspoon)

The Thomas Telford is set on the ground floor of a hideous post war shopping block. There's a prominent sign outside showing that the freehold is up for sale.
Inside it's not too bad and I didn't find it edgy in here but more the town in general. It consists of a rectangular room with the bar at the back and an unused looking dart board on the left. Furnishings were fairly typical. The whole pub seemed to be drinking rather than eating despite the fact that a large mixed grill here is just £8.60 or a chicken triple feast £6.80.
The beer selection over the ten hand pumps was poor with Ruddles & Doom Bore doubled, Peerless Red Wheat tripled and a couple of International beers of which one was doubled. I went for the Peerless Red Wheat (£2.05) which was in good enough nick.
It's not a great Spoons but it's not the best town I've visited either. The other JDW is not close by but in Overpool the next station along.

Called in around 13-30 on a Tuesday in serious need of refreshment in the form of a couple of pints of cask.I was amazed when the barmaid said they had no cask or draught of any kind not even lager or Guinness.She said they had problems in the cellar and yet all the pumps were lit up.Looks like I was another one who went in on a bad day.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Thomas Telford (JD Wetherspoon)

Perhaps I went in on a bad day, but this place seemed to have a distinctly edgey atmosphere. I was also surprised to see (or rather hear) the main TV turned up for the horse racing. I didn't feel like lingering so it was a very quick pint of Slater's Maravilla Rasberry Beer (£2.05) and I was off... (NB - Review dates from September 2011.)
