Many people would cringe at the mere idea of visiting a
Wetherspoons pub in a city with so many
great venues nearby. But for our needs,
it was ideal to pop in and get a good value meal and a Cask Marque scan at the
same time. While this Wetherspoons wasn’t particularly pleasing in its architectural
design; the pub had done enough of its homework to link the venue with a
historical connection; in this case the father of English Astronomy. Jerenich
Horrocks was a native son of Liverpool and the Wrekin is an Old English word
for sky. While the food wasn’t served in as quick a manner as we would have
hoped; the curry was still of good quality. However, many people were waiting
around eyeing up other tables; and the busy pub quickly became full of diners
trying to work out who ordered before who and whether the service was being
fulfilled in the right order. Although we had a wait; I felt that we were
relatively in sync compared to some of the customers before us. But as we left;
the waiting area was full of plated meals under heat lamps; and a small crowd
had begun to gather. We did actually return to the same pub on the same night;
but only so that a friend who had just joined us could grab something to eat.
Luckily for him, there was a good beer selection…
