The service was uniform as in all Wetherspoons establishments, staff were friendly, professional, helpful and attentive, the vegan breakfast and the refillable hot chocolate excellent, but it was the venue itself, simply an architectural and historical delight! It was amazing and definitely worth visiting.”
