‘Spoons Tour Plymouth

The Union Rooms

The Mannamead

The Britannia Inn

 

I attended the Plymouth Argyle v Newcastle United FA Cup tie on the first weekend of 2010.There are four Wetherspoons pubs in Plymouth. So after we negotiated a 400+ mile journey we arrived at Home Park at 1030am, giving us plenty of time to complete the Plymouth ‘Spoon set.  :-( 

The Gog & Magog

The Mannamead  -   DARTMOOR  ‘Jail Ale’ (4.8%)**** 

The Gog & Magog   -  SHARPS  ‘Doom Bar’ (4%)**** 

The Union Rooms  -  COTLEIGH  ‘Snowy Winter Ale’ (4%)*** The Mannamead

The Britannia Inn is the closest pub to Home Park and so we made this pub our last stop off before the match. Unfortunatly the place was choco-block and there was a queue around the block to get in, so the chance to complete the Plymouth ‘Spoons set was denied. I won’t be making the 810 mile round trip to complete the set, i’ll just settle for ticking three out of four.

The Nags Head

The Railway View

Market Green Tavern

Excellent GBG listed pub just a short walk for the train station. Good selection of beers on offer, my personal choice was;

DARK STAR  ‘American Pale Ale’ (4.7%)****

PHOENIX ‘ St Georges Flag Bitter’ (4.3%)

Society Rooms

The Macc branch of Wetherspoons with the usual good choice of food and real ales, i settled for;

BLAKEMERE  ‘Bronze Bitter’ (4.4%)****  THORNBRIDGE  ‘ Ashford’ (4.2%)

The Railway View

The view is one of the nearest pubs to Moss Rose. I called in after the game andis usually frequented by away fans who are made most welcome. However the bar was very busy so I didn’t have time for a pint so I decided to head off to a pub closer to the train station and ended up in..

..The Nags Head

This Robinson pub faces the rail station and is quite a cosy set up with SkySports showing in the beer garden. The Robbo beers i chose were  ‘Dragon Fire’ (3.9%)****  and Dizzy Blonde(3.8%)
