"On the whole it's one of the better Wetherspoons. It's busy, but retains more of a local feel than their usual town centre pubs. It must be great for CAMRA types, loads of guest ales, regularly updated, and a big info board about what's on offer.
If you don't have a beard or wear your keys on your belt be prepared for a slightly cooler recepti ..."

Most of the bikers have either OD'd or realised that not many people are impressed with the unwashed denim/leather look. Perhaps they've grown up and become normal.
