The Commercial Rooms, Bristol. Stunning restoration of a Victorian businessmen's Club.

.....They've bought the Cross in Crowborough, opens end of January. Can't imagine it'll much cop though.

It will have to be really, really dire to be worse than it was before. They must have spent shedloads on it to stop it falling down before any refurbishment.

The Isambard Kingdom Brunel in Guildhall Walk Portsmouth is also a decent one, it is near the University though so can be full of students, but the service, food and beers were very good when I went last year.

Any establishment named after the great man must be good!

Was a regular there whilst a student at the uni. Beer and Burger was 2.99 at the time!!

How many of the Spoons has he been to now?

I don't dispute either of those statements. Chimney stack still looks like it's about to go at any point or at least it did last time I looked. Will be interesting to see what they do with it but I can see it being horrible and bland like allot of their pubs.

Yes that's a decent Wetherspoon's. The one in Harrogate is pretty fancy too

Whilst the clientele leave a lot to be desired the beer selection is often little short of fantastic. I was supping Punk IPA and Brooklyn Lager and a nice amber ale a few weeks back whilst killing some time.

 

[Grombleton]

I've not been there since Mrs Grombleton was at uni, but The Square Bottle in Chester was alright. A bit generic, but better than most i've been to.

The Dolphin & Anchor in Chichester is a miserable place to be.

Adnam's Broadside £2.70 in most town weatherspoons

Adnams Broadside at Weatherspoons Gatwick (Airside) £4.50

I remember when going to the airport used to be a treat for a cheap pint - not now though !!!!!

 

[Easy 10]

Quite like the one in the Marina, sitting outside watching the boats coming and going. The best thing about Spoons is they have bottles of EFES (pint) for £2.75. One of my fave beers, that.

Not sure, next time I see him I'll get someone else to ask him.

The Standing Order in Edinburgh is nice. Similar to the Crosse keys in the City

About twenty of us off the site have a full breakfast on a Friday morning.

If you're talking about the Burgess Hill Wspoon then i'd suggest that Brambles cafe breakfast is of far superior quality.

I have not really bothered with Spoons, have tried to get a Sunday Roast at the Marina few times and it's usually always chaos with people desperately trying to order food while the 2 minimum wage students employed to cope, run around panicking behind the bar.

Part of the West Quay experience watching the giant cranes endlessly swinging fifty foot pipes around though eh? They've been doing it for YEARS.
