Brits have been debating the finest beer gardens in the country. A group of Wetherspoon enthusiasts, all part of a Facebook group called The JD Wetherspoon Appreciation Society, took to the page to discuss which is the finest outdoor beer-guzzling area anywhere in the famous Budget chain’s portfolio. The question was posed by a man called Andrew, who asked: “More people in the beer gardens than the pubs yesterday, which got me thinking.
Which Spoons has the best or worst beer garden?” People were quick to offer up some candidates, with an eclectic and stunning selection of glorious beer gardens.

The bloke simply wrote: “stoke,” followed by a picture of a concrete yard, a wooden gate, a bloke smoking a cigarette and, in the corner, a rat trap. The man has since told the Daily Star that it was the Wheatsheaf in Stoke-on-Trent. He said: "I'm a big Spoons fan who visited 426 and it's not one of the best".
Andrew edited his former post to give his thoughts on what he had seen, saying: “I really liked the Figure of Eight's one yesterday, while the Queen of Iceni by the river in Norwich is very nice. “For the worst, I believe..
