The Wetherspoons is quite special - housed in the old cinema, it has loads of atmosphere (though no natural light unless you sit in the vestibule!). The food is like all Wetherspoons - reasonable and filling - but the staff and atmosphere as well as the enormous size and cosy wood fire make it a really good choice for a cheap eat or a family dinner. It also has a courtyard outside and free wireless.
