A railway themed bar within staggering distance of the railway station. This has to be the only pub I've been in where a miniature train runs along a shelf made from luggage racks. If that's not sufficient enticement, there are three hand pumps on th... [more>] |

A roadside pub just out of the city centre with a view across the park. Opened up and extended, but retaining separate areas, two of which have tables set for dining. There's a pleasant window seating area that is slightly raised above the general fl... [more>] |

I was surprised to learn that this is an original pub as it struck me that it was a typical small older Spoons and it isn't even that as can be seen below. I also completely failed to notice an upstairs bar but before midday on a Saturday it may not ... [more>] |
 | St Georges Hall (JD Wetherspoon) Recommended by Aqualung . |
According to the JDW web site this building was originally a cinema. It certainly doesn't resemble one inside consisting of a long split level room with the bar on the rear left up some steps. There is a patio on the right. The fixtures and fittings ... [more>] |

Stockport › Manchester (Greater) Recommended by Will Larter |
An old railway pub with tiled walls and floors. A bit rough around the edges (was there a refurbishment going on, or is it always like that?) but with a good atmosphere on my Saturday evening visit. There were five hand pumps serving four beers: Upha... [more>] |
 | The Kingswood Colliers (JD Wetherspoon) Recommended by Aqualung . |
Although I had this one down as a shop conversion according to What Pub it's a purpose built Spoons that opened around the turn of the century. It might just as well have been a shop conversion as it is an open plan L shaped room with fairly typical ... [more>] |

Finally found myself with sufficient time between trains to call in here for a half. It's a very nice room, well presented and interesting, with technical drawings of steam locomotives the principal adornments. Three hand pumps on the bar with Abbeyd... [more>] |
 | Robert Fitzharding (JD Wetherspoon) Recommended by Aqualung . |
Apparently Robert Fitzharding was a local big shot in Norman Times. A bit before my time I'm afraid. The Spoons named after him is old school with the old plastic dark blue and gold signage looking rather faded. It's old school inside as well but in ... [more>] |

A typical town centre drinking barn on a shopping street with other examples to compete against, including a 'Spoons. Which was inevitably busier than this was. The bar, with just one person serving at the time of my midweek mid-afternoon visit, has ... [more>] |

I don't know how much of a pub this was originally, but to external appearances it now looks like a block of flats, and internally it's like a modern sports bar. This impression was enhanced by the snooker on TV at the time of my visit, and the all-p... [more>] |

After a period of closure this pub has been bought by Sam Smiths and, being a classy old building, it seems like the right solution for it. On my revisit, exactly six years after my last, it was hard to be sure what, if anything, had changed. Obvious... [more>] |

Like many of the town centre pubs, this is a large barn of a place, with mass-produced food and beer being provided in quantity to the seething masses watching premier league football on giant TV screens. On the bar were three hand pumps, with Bombar... [more>] |

No real ale apparent on the bar when I was passing, so I didn't go in. Date of fly by: 17th April 2017 |

A rather odd-looking agglomeration of buildings opposite the entrance to the station itself, the entrance leads into the first building to the right of the yard, the bar being slightly lower and with a further extension past it. This gives a slightly... [more>] |

Below street level, which suggests it is probably not as old as they are trying to make out, this is a surprisingly airy and light pub with a mixed clientele and an interesting soundtrack. Four hand pumps on the bar with an interesting selection from... [more>] |
