One happy customer said: “Wow! Wow! Wow! What can I say apart from Wow!
“I’ve visited quite a few Wetherspoons venues but never one like this, this has to be a flagship of the group?
“The service was uniform as in all Wetherspoons establishments, staff were friendly, professional, helpful and attentive, the vegan breakfast and the refillable hot chocolate excellent, but it was the venue itself, simply an architectural and historical delight!
“It was amazing and definitely worth visiting.”
