Unless someone can get along to ask the staff this site is the best bet for the most up to date info on Spoons. He reckons he has inside contacts at JDW.
I've been past it on Saturday and today. It's definitely closed and the furniture has been removed. The sign on the window directs you to the Figure of Eight and states that if you mention that sign if you go up the road you'll get 20% off your food bill.
The Yardbird next door and the Subside Bar have also gone as part of the redevelopment.
Waes hael!
Has it already been mentioned i do not seem to to visit here as much as i once did? It looks like the CAMRA vouchers are now redeemable throughout December unless the last quarters vouchers are printed wrongly.

I have my new ones and the dates for 2015 are 2 Jan - 31 Mar; 1 Apr - 30 Jun; 1 Jul - 30 Sep; 1 Oct - 31 Dec, so yes they are now valid over Christmas. The design also changes on 1st April and incorporates Real Cider front and back.
There are some changes to the Ts & Cs on the back from 1 April. The more major ones are:-
"Valid at all Wetherspoon pubs and Lloyds No1 bars." is replaced by "Valid at all participating J D Wetherspoon pubs in the United Kingdom" (Lloyds No1 is still on the front though)
"Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer" now says "Cannot be used against food-&-drink-combined deals, eg beer & burger or Curry Club."
"Only one voucher per person, per visit" now says "Only one voucher per pint redemption"
The Scottish exemption and the subject to availability and managers discretion parts are combined in " Subject to local licensing restrictions and availability at participating free houses. J D Wetherspoon PLC reserves the right to withdraw/change offers (without notice), at any time"
Finally CAMRA has added a disclaimer about financial liability.
Thanks for the update ob,I will wait for my new vouchers and enjoy using them in December 2015.Glad also they have dropped the one voucher per person per pub visit.2015 is looking up.

I have never been challenged if using a second voucher on a visit.
