Cannock:
A ‘spoons. Nothing unusual, cheap booze, cheap serviceable food.

The Kings Head Hotel
Beccles:
It’s a ‘spoons. A hotel ‘spoons. You know the drill.
It’s quite a nice ‘spoons, though. Obviously a pub/hotel for a long time, and it did provide the contrast in pricing to the Southwold pubs.
The Prense Well
Heswall, Chesire:
It’s a ‘spoons, move along, nothing to see here.
Actually, I’ll comment here, instead of my usual line. It is a ‘spoons, so you know the drill, cheap food and booze.
However, it’s quite a new ‘spoons- they took over a previous pub just under a year ago, and the building was previously a telephone exchange, becoming a pub in 2007.
It still looks clean and fresh inside, and actually had more atmosphere than the Jug & Bottle nearby.
The Counting House
Glasgow:
It’s a ‘spoons, so nothing to see here. Crowded, as it’s right in the middle of Glasgow. Cheap beer etc.
The Earl of Mercia
Coventry:
It’s a ‘spoons. It’s an old bank. Nothing to see here, but it was very nice sat outside drinking cheap booze in the sunshine. We didn’t even go inside…
Jewel of the Nile Severn
Bridgnorth, Shropshire:
It’s a ‘spoons. It’s in Bridgnorth though, so from the front it’s all traditional-looking, and it’s not bad at the front. As you progress back, it gets a bit spoons-shed. Other than that? Move along, nothing to see here. Cheap beer, cheap food.
Yr Hen Orsaf
Aberystwyth:
It’s a ‘spoons, so you know the drill. It’s quite a nice spoons, though, and the proximity to the station is really handy, both when we arrived at lunchtime and when we left for late breakfast: you can walk to the platform in less than a minute.
The Shrewsbury Hotel
Shrewsbury, Shropshire:
It’s a ‘spoons. A very big spoons, right by the river, but a ‘spoons nonetheless. We dropped in for breakfast at a fraction of the cost of our hotel. Pleasant staff, no surprises.
The Lord Burton
Burton-upon Trent, Staffs:
‘spoons. You know the drill. Cheap food and beer. Nothing to see here.
The Plaza
Rugeley, Staffs:
A ‘spoons, so most of it is by-the-numbers ‘spoons, but this is one of the nicer ones: the conversion of the old cinema is nicely done, and the beer garden is nice. Other than that, standard ‘spoons- cheap food, decent beer, but surprisingly toilets that aren’t miles away!
