The first Wetherspoon’s pub in the area, this was opened in 2003. If you want some daylight and a view, then sit at the front in the raised area; the rear of the pub is windowless and a bit soulless. Nevertheless, it’s the best place for a choice of ale in the area and has a suggestion box for customers to request beers they would like to see. At least two Wetherspoon beer festivals are held every year.
