A branch of Wetherspoon's whose one side overlooks the River Avon, making it a rather picturesque setting. The other side is completely the opposite, as you approach through a modern retail area.
There is a fair size ground floor area, along with a more limited seating upstairs which appears to be much quieter. You get a good view of the river from up here, as well as from an outdoor patio alongside the pub.
Young bar staff appeared to have many of their cronies in as customers, creating much banter. In fact, the demography was very much younger than what I have become to expect from a 'spoon's daytime crowd.
The usual beers were on - Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar. Guests were Box Steam New Normal & Exmoor Stag. Ciders were Cock Eyed Monkey Mango & Thatcher's Stan's Cheddar Valley, along with Purbeck Katy Perry.
I found this branch to be bright and airy and if you try to forget the shopping centre location, it has some nice views over and along the river.

Hard to find but pleasant location off the river in what I took to be a mid-80’s building. Not bad inside, fairly dull decor of grey and varnish wood but at least in good order. The side decking overlooking the River Avon was a nice place for a quick vape. Three genuine guest ales plus a cider. My Box Steam New Normal was slightly muted but drinkable (NBSS 2.5). Classic Spoons cliche #42 my food somehow turned up before my drink, and that was hardly slow. The kitchen must have had a fresh batch of Play-doh off the magic machine. 6.5

A new build pub adjacent to a small retail development off the High Street, alongside the river. The large main room has rather dark décor and not a lot of atmosphere, while down a couple of steps is another room with river views. At the side is a small balcony with a few tables overlooking the river. The front has a strange portico affair, with a smoking area beneath and a surprise room above which is a nice corner to escape to if you don't mind carrying your beer upstairs. The draught range was Doom Bar, Abbot, Marstons Old Empire and Saltaire Blonde along with three ciders.
