Wetherspoon pub.

Opening in 1994, this is a popular high street Wetherspoon pub attracting a mixed clientele of all ages in a large and extensive purpose-built brick building. The entrance leads to a front area, primarily used by drinkers, with walls adorned with beer pump clips with a white and ochre paint scheme and tall windows to bring in plenty of light. TV screens in corners show major sporting events (with sound off). There is a Wizard of Oz theme with pictures and a huge sculpture of a lion as a throwback to when the pub site was originally a 1930s cinema. A long L-shaped bar faces the main area with side alcoves, with one containing a fireplace, and which are popular with small groups and families. Carpeted throughout in dark blue with a moon and stars theme, this complements the wooden panelling with etched glass and old photographs of the locality. There is a raised area at the rear which is given over more for dining. A skylight with stained glass complements the dim lighting throughout.

At the rear, glass doors lead into a patio garden area with a raised level. A side door leads into a covered side passage with a disabled ramp. The garden area has flower troughs and assorted tables and seating. This extends into the former car park with many more tables and seating under awnings.

Note that closing times may be subject to variation.
