The Avion

This is one of my favourite Wetherspoons Pub and it sits in the centre of Aldridge.
Most Wetherspoons that I have been to tend to be dark and old but this branch is quite light and airy.
Its not as big as most others in the chain but it does what it says on the tin.
As you walk in there are about 4 booths on the left then the tables are spread amongst the central eating area with the bar along the right. Towards the back you will see there is a nice patio area that over looks the Morrisons car park if you choose to dine outside.
The menu is in keeping with all Wetherspoons — how can you grumble at the price.
The ceiling is tall high and as I sit and enjoy your meal and drink I tend to wonder. exactly what the building was like in its previous lives. cinema… bingo hall.
Up stairs to the loo your talking art deco. will try to remember to take some pictures next time.

The Avion does what Wetherspoons does best: offering decent quality food and drink at very affordable prices. I’m a happy customer, previously there was nowhere decent to drink in the village and a large beautiful building was lying empty. I’ve been several times now including for breakfast and evening meals as well as just a drink. Food is of a fairly reliable quality and arrives fast. Staff are polite enough and the place is clean and tidy. There are seating areas out the front and back, although the view of car parks leaves a bit to be desired. Gets fairly busy on Friday and Saturday nights so a seat isn’t always guaranteed but it’s a great place for a fry up the morning after.
