And well deserved, I would say.
I always get in there, tomorrow for the third time this year, when in Penkridge.

I can thoroughly recommend a crawl around the Tewkesbury pubs.
Good real ales in all of the ones we visited and friendly, chatty yokels.
In particular I would recommend the Berkeley Arms, the Black Bear and the Cross House tavern.
We stayed in the Wetherspoons which was comfortable and reasonably priced but only had a couple of drinks in the riverside beer garden before exploring other parts of the town.
The only problem we experienced was trying to get into the restaurants which were fully booked.

Yes, and that would be easier if it wasn't two miles from a railway station.
The last time there we were denied access to a pub as it was early evening on New Years Eve for which they had taken bookings.
The only two Wetherspoons I've stayed in were at Minehead and Chesterfield.

Wetherspoons hotels are usually clean, air conditioned and comfortable and in central locations.
I've stayed in Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Henley, Andover and now Tewkesbury. The only disconcerting thing I've found strange is coming down for breakfast and there's the usual Spoons pissheads having alcohol at 08.30-09.00 in the morning. But each to their own.
Yesterday we had breakfast at a lovely cafe around the corner from Spoons. No pissheads in at that time

But I've thought it rather nice to come down for breakfast from 8.30 to 9.30am and have a pint or two with my breakfast rather than the usual coffee.Wetherspoons hotels are usually clean, air conditioned and comfortable and in central locations.

It's just a shame that as the first one out of the line ( the "usual Spoons pissheads" drink fizz ) it's nearly as warm as my food.
