Fine dining at the Benjamin Satchwell, Leamington Spa

Hidden amongst the High Street is the Benjamin Satchwell; a Wetherspoons camouflaged amongst the shops. We only found it because of the blackboard outside the door. This pub was very open plan with an upper and lower dining room area; with little emphasis on tables just for drinking. You can tell quite easily that several shops have been knocked through to create the space; but the lower area seemed very dark and dinghy. The service at the bar was very good and you didn’t have the usual scrum of customers waiting to order unlike many Wetherspoon outlets. There were no problems with the beer; but what it was I could not tell you as it was one of the many blurs of the day. Still, my burger was very nice; and certainly did the job. Although I still have no notion of who Benjamin Satchwell is, the food was served very quickly and I’d recommend eating here again. I'd need another visit to judge the beer though.
