Leading Light

As part of a chain, you know what you are going to get. But the building is different. A ceiling that is about 25ft above you makes for a very roomy feel to the place. Generally clean, but expect large crowds at weekends before the nightclub run

not bad pub lovely building makes a change from all the neame pubs in town

As a self confessed food and pub snob I was slightly reticent to try the Leading Light it being a Weatherspoons pub but on a rainy Sunday with no other option available I have to say that I was more than pleasantly surprised! This is a good example of how banning smoking in pubs was a good idea as it was probably horrible and smoking before but now it is a lovely environment for a quiet weekend lunch and it is an absolutely barguin to the core! We both had the chicken gourmet burger with onion rings which cost a mere £12 for the both of us (including drinks!) and it was delicious, the chicken was tasty everything was nicely presented and came out quickly. The chips weren’t the best ever but at such low prices I have to say I was shocked by the quality and it’s totally changed my opinion on Weatherspoons pubs so there you go! They were in the middle of a real ale season so there were heaps of different beers on offer and again at knock down prices.

Yes, it’s a Wetherspoon pub. You get what you expect at Wetherspoon: Good, standard pub food at reasonable prices, and real ale.
The difference is always in the building itself, and once again they have outdone themselves. The roaring fire is a welcome sight on a chilly day, and the beer garden expansive for the rare sunshine or for those people who want to light up.
Don’t expect anything you wouldn’t at any other Wetherspoon, but have a look around at the paintings and information about the town on the walls.
