Yates’s Wine Lodge

this is a great place to eat and the BBQ chicken melt is great. the latte is also really good. they do specials and 2 for the price of 1 on desserts. i prefer Yates to weatherspoons the food is hot and cooked really good.

This pub is right in the middle of the town centre with very easy pedestrian access. It is close to local buses and handy for a pub crawl with a number of other pubs and bars in the immediate vicinity. This is a typical member of the Yates chain and offers nothing unexpected. Quite a pleasant bar when the town is quiet, it offers drinks at average prices and food which is of average quality. It can offer quite a pleasant adult evening out. However at weekends and in the holiday season, it gets very crowded and is one of the main stops on the stag and hen pub crawls and therefore you can imagine how it gets — with drunks staggering around and people falling over. Best avoided on those occasions, but if you time it well, worth a visit.
