Troll Cart

Odd place. I don’t normally go for Wetherspoons pubs but gave it a go on curry night. The ale was OK, the curry was palatable, but my visit was spoilt by some of the customers who would have been more at home in a zoo.
OK for a resort pub but if you look hard enough you can do better in yarmouth.

Handy as our coach dropped us off at the side door.
Not the best Wetherspoons we have visited. Gents toilets were very smelly.
CAUTION be careful of the steps on side entrance, we saw a lady fall down here and cut legs. Chessboard pattern makes it difficult to see the end of top step.

I suppose this is what you’d call my «local» in Great Yarmouth. I’d love to say I had a better local but I don’t. It’s a Wetherspoons.
In the fact it’s a ‘Spoons it should be obvious that they do cheap, medium quality food and cheap drinks. Certainly nothing to complain about there. I had an 8oz rump steak, chips, sauce, onion rings and a drink today for less than £8. There is really nothing to complain about.
I’ve given it four stars because that’s really a comprimise between 1 star when it’s busy and 4 stars when it’s not. For instance this evening, a Wednesday evening, I had a most superb night with my friends, we sat and drew and chatted and ate and it was jolly marvellous. There’s no music and not empty but there’s no worry about getting a table. All the good things about a pub.
However when it’s busy on a Friday or Saturday evening it’s my idea of hell. Great Yarmouth is a horrible town and all the horrible people come out at the weekend to shout at you, drink too much and vomit everywhere. Forget trying to eat past 6pm as the place is totally rammed with locals spilling their drinks, arguing loudly and fighting.
So yes, during the week it’s a perfectly pleasant branch of ‘Spoons with friendly bar staff, cheap food and drinks, a few regulars of the old and bearded ale-​drinking variety and a good selection of corners to sit in. However, at the weekend it’s too loud, the bar is way too busy, there’s nowhere to sit and you may very well get stabbed.

With wetherspoons you know what to expect, this one is just the same however usually full of grubby men
