Amidst all the excitement and outrage at Sir wetherspoon's enoblement, has anyone noticed that Martyn Hillier, the onlie begetter of the Micropub movement has been created an MBE? I met him once at...
The write-up makes me want to visit, and I'm no fan of the 'Spoon.
I don't often use a Spoons:my main gripe is that the helpings are so 'king small.I suppose it's to encourage one to snack on crisps and similar overpriced garbage.

Damn. I was planning to (re)join CAMRA! Not that I ever go to a 'spoons.
I'm not a 'spoons afficianado, not having a branch locally, but did meet friends in one yesterday.The beer was dull ,from the regionals:tired and lackluster. Is this generally the case,or were we...
Interesting "shop front"-looks like a micropub!
