    Gru prefers a pub that closed 20 years ago, has been knocked down and is now a Spar.

    The wife and I sat in Benjamin huntsman for a couple of hours before the only fools and horses musical a few weeks back.
    Can?t fault the value.

    If you want ham, egg, chips and a pint for under a tenner it?s spot on.

    The one in Harrogate is a thing of beauty and would probably be a derelict building if it wasn?t a spoons.

    I have the Wetherspoons app on my mobile phone, handy when the bar is full,
    just order drinks & meals if required, which are then brought to the table.

    Thursday 12th June

    I had a message from Wetherspoons on the app, telling me my nearest Wetherspoons pub,
    I had to laugh, it turned out it was in the town of Deal in Kent, England which was
    1,650 miles away.

    Ps - There is a Turkish version of Wetherspoons in Marmaris, which I went in last year, but
    spelt different.
    ie - Weatherspoons Fun Pub, Marmaris, open 24 hours a day.
    I know that one. It's called The Sir Norman Wisdom. Took my Mum there on her 90th birthday. But I would never go in the evening to a 'Spoons.

    When I go to Sheffield on a pub crawl, always start in the Benjamin Huntsman, after catching a train to Rotherham
    station, then connecting to the tram up to Cathedral at Sheffield, then its walking down through Sheffield at
    different pubs, other pubs as well as Wetherspoons.
    Better than catching train to Sheffield, then having to walk upwards through Sheffield, also done train to Meadowhall,
    then connected to tram up to City Hall.

    Yes that's the pub, what was shown along with another one in Dover.

    I?d never knock spoons, you know what you?re getting. Ok it?s not the best ale going, but if you want a proper premium beer go to a tap or micro pub that serve them.

    As for the snap, fills an oil. And them breakfasts for what you pay are unbeatable imo.

    Scum, we were in the hotel at the side of it during our golf weekend. truly a magnificent building, and a huge one at that. Believe it was a Bank, so fit's in with Wetherspoons ideals. It was packed when we went in, god knows how many it holds.

    The one in Harrogate we frequent twice a year after the flower show it is indeed a lovely building. A bit of info on it.Harrogate?s former Royal Baths included the Winter Gardens ? built so that visitors could relax and stroll in any weather. Its name lives on in this Wetherspoon pub. During the 1920s, people could relax here, amid potted palms, listening to music from a grand piano. In the 1930s, the Municipal Orchestra played every morning throughout the year, with free admission for the patients of the baths.

    for away games, it is sometimes the only place you can get into, when there are home fans only signs everywhere.
