The College Arms  

Another tasteful JD Wetherspoon conversion at the top of town, not far from the Fitzwilliam below. There is the usual no smoking area at the far end and a small walled beer garden to the left of the entrance here. Sensible prices for real ale are matched by sensible prices for food which is served all day until 10pm (though service can be slow at lunchtimes). Their 2 for £5.99 deals are so legendary that other chains have had to follow suit, though portions are not what they were. Guest ales on at the time were: 100 Century Ale, Hopback Summer Lightening, Exmoor Gold, Grainstore Gold and Caledonian Merman XXX. These good ales were complimented by the smoke free area and the lack of piped music.
