I don't understand this bit...

Yet before anyone gets carried away it should be pointed out that the refit, however pleasant, has been carried out with at least one eye on the chain pub manual. The new fittings therefore reek of spoons and the glittering bar is straight from an S&L. Worst of all the tap selection is restricted and lager heavy, and the management have thrown themselves lustly into the pursuit of clubbers heading to the Liquid (and erm, other club!) down the street – que garish offer adds inside and wall to wall muppets on most nights. There are though scraps of individuality about the place primarily caused by the natural structure of the interior (nice one up, one down effect) and some nice ornate furnishings dotted about.

"Reek of spoons? que garish offer?"
