The Savoy - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find this right in the heart of town on Regent Street, housed in what looks like it was once something rather grand before Wetherspoons got their hands on it. The high ceilings and period features still peek through the chain pub makeover, giving it more character than your average Spoons. The breakfast menu runs until noon and does exactly what you'd expect – full English for under a fiver that'll sort you right out. Come evening, it's the usual crowd of office workers, shoppers taking a break from the Brunel Centre, and locals who know you can't argue with £2 pints. The staff keep things moving efficiently, and while it's never going to win awards for atmosphere, it's reliable, central, and the beer's properly kept.
