An open plan circuit Spoons with understated modern decor. Pretty rubbish interior that I couldn’t settle into though it was full on a Saturday afternoon. Slow service, dead wi-fi, it just felt a bit of a waste of time. The archaeological feature is the only thing of interest here.

Intriguing modern building with a central glass turret. Fairly well broken-up over two levels, nice and light inside. Apparently a bit of the old friary runs through the pub and is visible under some glass flooring by the main bar but I certainly didn’t spot it amongst the throng, my main mission was to bag the final free table underneath the stairs and get the app out. Weirdly this was the calmest pub in town, very genteel despite being almost full and especially funny when all of the guest ales were fighting strength. Talking of fighting strength, my Phoenix Wobbly Bob was in good nick (NBSS 3.5) and went down nicely with the final Xmas pizza of the season. Perfectly serviceable Spoons and I’d be happy to call in again, should I ever feel the need to revisit this tourist hotspot of the UK.

This Spoons was slightly more upmarket compared to the Looking Glass, but unfortunately fairly featureless in comparison. There was a moderate amount of drinkers on our visit watching the Six Nations Rugby on a large screen near the entrance. The customer base in here was middle aged and not a pushchair in site. The staff in here were more relaxed compared to the very busy Looking Glass. Ten pumps on the bar, so I went for the Phoenix Wobbly Bob at £1.99 a pint. We also went for the Adnams Mosaic and the Coach House Blueberry.
