The Moon Under Water - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find this Spoons occupying what used to be the grand Lloyds Bank building on Lichfield Street, and the high ceilings and ornate features still give it a bit of gravitas despite the chain pub makeover. The usual Wetherspoons formula applies – dirt cheap drinks, surprisingly decent food that arrives faster than it should, and a crowd that ranges from office workers grabbing lunch to students pre-loading before hitting the town centre. The beer garden out back is a proper suntrap when the weather's decent, and unlike some Spoons, this one doesn't feel completely soulless thanks to those original Victorian features. Yes, it's predictable, but when you want a £2 pint and a curry for under a tenner in the heart of Wolverhampton, it does exactly what it says on the tin.
