Wetherspoon's sympathetic conversion of
the old postal sorting office has
produced an L-shaped bar with a
south-facing walled garden. A
comfortable bar with no music produces a
relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy
the range of ales. There is an input
from the regulars as to the choice of
guest ales from Wetherspoon's list,
giving a greater variety of guests than
in other JJW outlets in Gloucestershire.(Stroud)
