Figure of Eight - JD Wetherspoon

You're on Broad Street looking for a pint that won't cost you a fortune or your dignity. The Figure of Eight delivers exactly what you want from a Wetherspoon—solid real ales on rotation, a food menu that actually works (the fish and chips is respectable), and prices that don't make you wince. It's the sort of place where you'll bump into everyone from office workers grabbing a quick lunch to students nursing pints between lectures, all catered for without fuss. The sprawling space means you're not crushed against strangers, and there's genuine character to the old building rather than plastic chain sterility.
