Quite a few innovative brews in that list,and many with a fair amount of poke.Interesting that at #10 Shepherd Neame are trying a blend of British and American hops which seems a departure from their usual policy of Kent hops only.Originally Posted by hondo

Won't bother us as we are away home at that time of night.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
I must agree with that generally speaking. To be honest if a Spoons (or any other pub for that matter) feels it necessary to use bouncers at a given time then I won't even think about going into it while they are there.

I bet it won't be a good place to go for beer.
I've been to the Victoria Station Spoons several times now before 09:00am on the way to the South Coast and despite being tempted by the ale selection have stuck to tea or coffee. I've found it surprising how many people are drinking alcohol at that time, but the most alarming case I spotted was a bloke knocking back bottles of Newcastle Brown with double whisky chasers!
This sounds similar to the case of the bloke in Workington who dared to complain about the rubbish service. I suspect they can get away with it in provincial towns where they only have a single pub, but if they started doing it in parts of London where there's another one only a short bus ride away then it would damage the business severely.
Must be big news, and possibly a first for a JDW pub. We went into The Old Goal in Wichester this Mothering Sunday lunchtime, and got served at the bar immediately, and even had a another barman come along to take our order, Amazing stuff
There were also empty table, some reserved. Maybe Winchester is too posh for JDW?
I drink to make others more interesting
I hope you didn't compliment the bar staff; otherwise, you'll probably get a letter from the manager banning you!
