About Baxters Court
Modern hostelry with real ales, budget pub food, children's' menu and a courtyard space.
New build red brick Wetherspoon Free House occupying vacant infill site, opened in late February 2003. Entry is through a quarry tiled courtyard open to the elements, with patio seating. The ground floor bar has dark wooden wall panelling with red decor above and a yellow painted ceiling and yellow lighting. Family area to left with high backed seating booths, and local history panels above. The pub's name, 'a lost alley approximately on the site', is displayed on an illuminated screen behind the bar with variable colours. Abstract paintings include an image of Bob Marley, apparently commemorating a mural formerly visible on the flank wall of the building next door. Wooden stairs lead up to first floor bar decorated in similar style leading through to an open air patio (with heaters and potted plants), on a balcony overlooking the quiet street at the rear.

I enjoyed my stay in this historic spoons. Great location near a train station, cinema, museum and a Burberry Outlet store. I had a very good ale with no fuss to try before I bought. There's two floors with a first floor terrace. Would definitely go back.

Newer than other Wetherspoon that I have visited. Nice decor and quite clean as well. Food arrived soon after order and services are good.

Had the Ramen bowl. It was tasty and well made. But the service was terrible. The other food we ordered never turned up and when we asked they checked with the kitchen who said they had no ingredients to make the other item ordered but never bothered to tell us.

Went there for my dinner on Sunday 18 August 24. Very few people in the place. All the tables were dirty and had not been cleaned off. There was delph and glasses, on almost every table, and the customers, that had occupied those tables had gone. Eventually I found one clean table. The service was slow. The food was good, but not hot enough. I was very disappointed with the place, Run down in my opinion, to a very low level. I have been there before on a good few occasions, and it was much much better. I would sooner go to a nearby cafe in future.

Seemed a good one from what I saw, only popped in for a quick pint. Guest ales on at a great price and would definitely pop in again if I was in the area.
