This Wetherspoon's pub comprises a large single bar is in the busy Xscape leisure complex and is very popular with young people. The front of the pub is fully glazed and looks out onto the outdoor seating area and car park beyond. Its name comes from well-known author, George Orwell, who described his ideal pub in a newspaper article and called the pub ‘Moon Under Water’.

Inside, its long serpentine bar has fifteen hand pumps, but you are unlikely to find more than the three regular beers and between four and nine changing beers - the higher number during breweries' "tap-takeover".

The room extends beyond the bar on two levels to the second entrance inside the Xscape.

The food is the traditional Wetherspoon's menu and the pub participates in the Wetherspoon's beer and cider festivals.
