The Old Swanne Inne (JD Wetherspoon), Evesham

Reverse tardis - seems smaller inside than out, but more tables can be found by having a mooch through the archways. Typical JDW Library style interior. I shall ever be grateful for getting a breakfast and a decent old hooky delivered from app ordering with enough time to enjoy it and walk the 0.3 miles to the station. They met my 24 minute total window with 3 minutes to spare.

A 1998 pub conversion, so the interior is a rambling pickle that wraps in and around itself via a central staircase and is fairly small. The rear area is a pleasant enough poke and there are some tables by the front windows which are also a good spot. Three guest cask, my Oakham 12 Monkeys was decent (NBSS 3) and staff were notably well-drilled and upbeat. A better Spoons.

Early start here for a group of us so pleasantly surprised how quickly 20 of us got seen to with a variety of breakfasts and drinks. As it was an early start with a long day to go round pubs near the river Avon, we didn't have a lot of beer, but did enjoy the Ilkley Rombald. Food was served quickly and plates removed afterwards quickly too, and we enjoyed our beer in the back patio area. Small it may be for JDW but a good one to visit.

This is a smaller Spoons housed in an original pub. Inside it's split into smaller areas rather than completely open room. The ceiling is low and there is a decent sized patio at the rear. The bar has ten hand pumps which had the JDW Trio Of Doom, Titanic Stout and six festival beers. I tried the Mordue Wheat, Titanic Stout and Titanic Plum Porter all at the festival price of £2.15 and in good condition. I didn't have the problems with bar staff mentioned below on a busy Saturday afternoon but the tables were slow to be cleared. I found this to be an above average Spoons.
