Late morning visit whilst waiting for the 12:00 openers to open. Already busy on both levels, strict COVID precautions being taken here with staff insisting that people complete track/trace forms. The upper level was table service only using the Wetherspoon App. We had vouchers to spend so we stayed on the ground floor and ordered at the bar.

Lunchtime a short wait in the queue to get in, track and trace details given then free to find somewhere to sit. I've only listed what I drank upon my first visit to Wetherspoons flagship pub. Lucky me!

Did a tour of a few pubs that were open but didnt find any selling beers that I wanted. At least in spoons you get more of a choice. First lockdown pints.

6 guests on and a huge crowd in. Landlord pleased that my photo of the RVP at night was on the front cover of AOT. However he said he would have preferred a daytime shot. No pleasing some people. lol
