Steve C left this review about The High Cross (JD Wetherspoon)
The High Cross is a Wetherspoons that was rammed during a recent Wednesday evening visit. The interior is L-shaped with a raised seating are to the left of the entrance and a bar counter along the left-hand wall. This faces a line of high tables that run down the centre of the pub and standard tables and chairs that run under the windows of the right-hand wall. In the right rear of the pub is a sunken seating area and in the left rear is open plan seating. It was very busy in here during a recent Wednesday evening visit, well the bar area was, the rear area not so much. Thankfully the good people of Leicester don’t seem to be bar hoggers so I was able to note that the two banks of six hand pumps were drawing Charrington IPA, Cairngorm Wildcat, Brains St David’s Ale, Sharp’s Doom Bar, GK Abbot Ale, Ruddles and Grainstore’s Rutland Osprey. Standard keg was also available alongside San Miguel. The service was polite and I thought this was a decent Spoons.

Standard Spoons with the bar to the left. Usual selection of Spoons ales. The place opens out to the left at the rear. Toilets on the ground floor!

As well described below this is a fairly standard JDW consisting of a large single room.
The twelve hand pumps had a decent choice with two unused, the JDW Trio Of Doom, Wild Weather Choppy Waters, Milestone Classic Dark Mild, Everard's International Defender, Marston's One Is 90, Vale Gravitas, Oakham Scarlet Moon and Grainstore Metatarsal. I went for the Choppy Waters (£2.65) which was in first class condition.
I thought this was a good Spoons. The service was OK and the beer choice and quality was good. For me it's the best of the three Leicester JDWs.
