Some ’spoons are OK but I have to say I don’t look forward to going in to them now. I’d rather pay an extra 90p a pint (about the difference round here) and get served by someone who can manage a bar rather than someone who serves a pint of fizz then looks up and serves the person in front rather than taking a mental note of who’s where.
As for the fest beers, the ones I tried were humdrum so I didn’t chase any more. I probably got the same amount of ticks from other pubs.
Luckily I am really good looking so the barstaff fall over themselves to serve me. |

Completely agree, my local Spoons in suburbia is cheap as chips but the clientele are ugly knuckle draggers covered in tattoos who bring their unruly kids along everytime.
Compare that to the excellent Cask Pub and Kitchen where I was last night, smartly dressed, intelligent people who enjoy great beer. OK it is a lot more expensive but it is worth it. |

The essence of snobbery right there. |

Not snobbery at all, most people would rather drink top quality beer surrounded by civilised people surely? |

Yes, but thats not what you said. I would rather drink in a pub with a friendly guy in a scruffs and tattoos than a well dressed, self impressed tosser any day of the week. |

Can’t say I get dressed up to nip down the pub. I don’t have a problem with the clientele in ’spoons either it’s the lack of service that grates me. Jeans, t-shirt and a pint for me:) |

Same for me also. |
Just adding my last rates for the festival beers and I have noticed that most beers only have around 13/14 rates: shows that the Spoon’s Festival isn’t as popular this time around?
