Modestly sized JD Wetherspoon conversion of an old Tesco store on the site of the former Astoria cinema, hence the name. It is a thriving town centre pub lying adjacent to local shops and near the bus station. A wide entrance gives access to a spacious interior on several levels and with a few screened areas. Immediately on the right there is a cosy upstairs section (free hire) with a fireplace and red-panelled decor with small black & white scenes from old films. This is situated over what resembles a small library. A pictorial history of the locality, which includes a striking 3-D effect picture of the town, shares wall space with attractive rural artwork. A local information stand keeps customers up-to-date with community events and places to visit. The usual package of keenly priced food and drinks are available while there are real ale and cider festivals held during the year.
