In many respects a bog standard local Wetherspoon converted in typical style from a former Woolworth store in 1990, J J Moons raises its head above the crowd through a greater commitment than usual to cask beer that has earned it a local CAMRA Pub of the Year award. London Pride, Abbot, Ruddles County and Courage Best are the regulars, but the other handpumps explore the pubco’s guest list to the full, thanks to a keen manager who, unusually, has been there since the beginning. Good choices from Adnams, Blindman’s, Nethergate, RCH and Roosters were on when I called. There’s also a programme of community events and charity fundraising, and some stained glass and a fireplace to enliven the standard issue furniture and finishes, especially in the more pleasant raised dining area at the back. The pub benefits further from being right opposite the Tube.
