Mid afternoon til late evening. One of my rare visits to a Wetherspoons however not by choice due to attending our work do. Quieter than I expected not many other gatherings of a similar ilk. I've only listed the beer I drank.

Wantsum - Hengist5.00ExcellentThis was very nice so decided to stay loyal for the duration. Flavours of biscuit malt balancing a long fruit hop.

A wet Bank Holiday Monday and like most places in the area much quieter than usual, but at least it had some customers which is more than can be said for some pubs in the area.
