Review of The Railway

Wetherspoons is Wetherspoons 
I'm always slightly fustrated when I walk into a Wetherspoons - a lot of what they've done for pubs is good: lots of real ale, much better value, no music, etc. But there's always the same niggles: they're all the same! And I don't really like the homogonousness of the pub signs, the menus, the marketing blurb. And it's also unfortunate that the cheap prices tend to attract those who may otherwise be on meths.

Review of Ye Olde Spotted Horse

Lovely old pub 
Admittedly, I've not been in this pub since Wells bought out Youngs. But I hope it's not changed too much. It's a bit of an old man's pub, but I happen to like old pubs and beams in the ceilings. Pass me my pipe and slippers.

Review of The Fox and Hounds

Fresh pub
This pub has had a relatinvely recent makeover. So it all looks decent enough, but you get the feeling that they may have overspent on the decor. Or they're just being damned cheeky with their prices. But they've got lots of nice plasma TVs to watch the footy on. So if you're up for watching the game with your mates, try to remember all those tricks you used to use at college when trying to avoid paying for a round.

Small, but perfectly formed 
This is how florists should be! It's such a small shop that the scents hit you really hard when you walk in. Usually have a great range of flowers to choose from - and some things that are a little unusual.
