The Royal Enfield was originally
the town’s old cinema. It closed many years ago, and was converted into a
nightclub by a firm named Chicago Rock. This national franchise was known for its
American-style food, dodgy DJ, and cheesy rock music. It too failed, then
Wetherspoons remade it into the Royal Enfield as one of their Lloyds outlets;
maintaining its nightlife with Wetherspoon-style values and serves as an
overspill pub for Wetherspoons in the daytime. Its horseshoe bar can be quite
crowded at times and understaffed; especially at night; and it’s a shame that
they got rid of the second bar that the previous club owners had installed. The
building is quite large and open-planned, but it’s too dark during the day and
they really need to install more lighting. It’s a shame that Chicago Rock got their
hands on the site before Wetherspoons; otherwise the refurbishment would have
otherwise a lot more in the style of the old cinema.
