The Trafalgar

Great place to go for a nice english breakfast. The prices are average and i would also say its more of a pub than a club. Seen as its a Wetherspoons, the prices are not as high as in other places in town.

We were 6 French bikers last April coming from Exeter and going back to Normandy on the very night when we found the place (in fact it was a heart-​breaking moment because we had been in that same place 2 years ago and kept a good memory). The menus are varied, the prices good and the decorum… um, interesting: modern, several floors (levels?). That was a Saturday night and we bikers couldn’t compete with our heavy gear and equipment against those pretty dressed-​up young English girls… which was all right to our men… We found a snug place at the entrance with low seats and armchairs and we had dinner there. We could hear the music from far, but it was all right. Good place — quite modern, but amazing.

Okay, so this is indeed a pub, but I love popping in to relax with a coffee during a busy shopping session! My favourite is actually their Mocha, having spent 4 times as much at various coffee shops theirs actually tastes the best with just the right balance of coffee to sweet chocolate. And not only is it cheap but you can get a card at the bar to get your 6^th cup free. Our favourite lunchtime snack is chips with 3 bean chili, great valuer and very tasty. As a pub venue for the evenings it’s great value and a good atmosphere. Can take a while to get served at the bar but that happens everywhere. A favorite place to take fiends form out of town as it’s easy to find, cheap, and there’s plenty of seating for large groups.

This pub is centrally located and is right next to the main shopping area. This makes it a great place to stop for a bite to eat whilst out shopping. It is part of a chain of pubs and as such sells standard pub food. Both the food and the drinks are cheap but reasonable quality. They also have a variety of offers such as curry night which are good value for money. The interior is modern and features a family eating area as well as smaller knooks for couples. At night they have a music licence which means it can get pretty loud. A small dance floor means you can stay there all night if you want.

This is a centrally located pub which is part of the Wetherspoons empire so the prices are very competitive.
The food menu is quite extensive with much of the normal pub grub on it. There are some good deals on food and drink too.
It gets very busy due to its location right next to Commercial Road shopping area so be prepared to wait for your food when you go in the daytime. At night it is much the same with food served, but generally it is a nice pub to socialise in. There are plenty of seats but as I said it does get busy. There is no dancefloor and as such it is really a pub rather than a bar but never the less, a good, cheap place to go out.

This is a nice pub for a daytime drink or meal. If you like a lively atmosphere great at the weekends too.
The food is pretty good, and the beer and burger offer is one of my favourites, especially as you have beef, lamb, chicken or veggie to choose from, and it comes with chips!
Wetherspooons/​Lloyds bars do some fantastic offers and personally I love the fact that you can get a Magners or a Bulmers (not just a Magners like in so many places)!
I like the décor of this place, a bit modern and trendy, but not in your face.
Lots of different seating to suit everybody too.

Nice place to visit, gets very busy and far to many steps to climb when been drinking. A little out of the main drinking area, therefore needs a planned visit.

This is a huge, sprawling pub — which is a lloyds bar (wetherspoons). That means the prices are keen.
I was there most recently for a birthday celebration and we had small area downstairs roped off. It was a Saturday night and as you would expect this place was packed.
It is a big pub with plenty of different bars. Toilets are upstairs. There is nowhere to check your coat, but this is a pub rather than a club.
The music was good, and the volume was ok — you could still have a conversation. Drinks were as you would expect from any Lloyds bar and they often run promotions on various drinks.

Lots of people refer to this as the Lloyds bar which is a bit confusing. Anyway in the day time and week its fairly quiet and a great place for a meal, I’ve not had any problems with the food here. It’s a Wetherspoons so the prices are cheap. Girlfriend loves the décor, I love the promo’s. At the week ends it’s packed as people often start off here (cause of the prices) before heading to the Guildhall walk bars.
