We put the chains to the test
No matter where you live or work there's a good chance there's a pub owned by Greene King or Wetherspoon. But how do two of the UK's leading pub companies compare?
Some might call it atmospheric, but I feel like a vampire. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, it's a struggle to read the menu. It's well-lit so there's no problem reading the menu here. There's a lively buzz but it's not overbearing. Now I'm no angel and I might utter the occasional swear word if I stub my toe but I don't like the 'F word' being bandied around in general conversation by the people around me, which it is here.There's a huge variety of drinks, whether you want alcohol or something softer. On draught are 14 beers, five cask and 11 guest ales.
That said it's not really geared up for vegans - unless they don't want a choice. The selection is quite lean with only one starter, two mains and one dessert.
