Was told to visit this by a chap in The River Ale House. It's a Wetherspoon and very student/tourist clientele. Made welcome and was quickly served.

Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur5.90ExcellentThought the Abbot was good, but this really hit the palate and so well priced. Can see why other pubs don't like a "Spoons" in the area.
Greene King - Abbot5.00GoodAmazing price for a reasonable pint of malt led beer. Good colour and flavour. Not into technical details, but enjoyed.
