Ale enthusiasts decide spoons can’t be licked
Two hundred and eighty Wetherspoon pubs have been acclaimed for the quality of their real ale – by members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Pub history
This grade II listed building is the former Prince of Wales Theatre. Richard Burton, Noel Coward and Laurence Olivier are among the great actors who performed here. It was built, facing Wood Street, in 1878, replacing the Royal Theatre which had recently burned down. The Prince of Wales was, itself, rebuilt and an entrance added on St Mary Street. It later became a cinema, then a nightclub and was converted into this pub in 1999.
