What Rich Talbot likes about The Spanker Inn:
This pub is a great place to relax and enjoy a variety of beers. My family had fun playing pool, and the kids were kept entertained with board games. It's located near CMH club site, just a short 15-minute walk away. View all feedback. What Traveleyes doesn't like about The Spanker Inn:
We visited this establishment for lunch which was delicious, fresh vegetables and good portions, piping hot and very tasty. However we were very disappointed with some of the members of staff, the gentleman behind the bar was very somber and unwelcoming and one of the waiters just didn’t seem that friendly, which made the whole experience quite disappointing and our custom felt very undervalued. Some lessons in custo... View all feedback.

The bar manager was miserable from the minute I walked in. He spoke to the bar girl working as if he was barking orders at a dog. My table wasn't ready. When it...

Very friendly staff, good draft beer, really nice roast meat roll with roast potatoes, and all at a pocket friendly price.

The Spanker offers a welcoming environment with tasty, homemade food. Despite a few negative encounters with staff and aggressive dogs on previous visits, the cozy atmosphere and delicious menu items make it a great spot for a lazy Sunday afternoon. With a well-attended quiz night and events throughout the week, this community pub has something for everyone. A standout member of the team provides excellent service, and the cold lager is served in perfectly chilled glasses. Overall, The Spanker is a fantastic choice for those looking for good food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere.
