3 beers on. Officious young lad noticed my voucher was 2 weeks out of date and gave me a lecture on how it was more than his job was worth to allow this to happen.Told him how much I would commend him to his boss Chris.

An Apa with...heaps of flavour, hops, no boasting like roosters about free range...etc. lovely non pretentious apa.

An Apa with lots of jargon, but couldn't taste hops or...much flavour. Disappointing.

Lovely couple of pints. Wonder if Marstons new fresh version will be as good as the cask? Lol
This building opened as a Wetherspoon's on Tuesday 29 August 2017 and is probably the largest Wetherspoon's in the country. It was designed as a dance hall by architect Stanley Davenport Adshead in 1903 and in later years operated as a casino. On two levels with a bar with 12 handpumps at ground level and another on the 1st floor balcony with 6 handpumps. Open-to-view kitchen on the ground floor. There is a ground floor rear patio and an upstairs outside covered decking area for fair weather drinking and sea and sand views.
We have visited this pub 186 times, seen 174 different beers and tried 144 of them.
