While we all know that a Wetherspoons pub is the cheap go-to for a pint or a fry-up - this one branch will have you feeling like royalty as you kick back and take in the grand vistas.
Dripping in ornate detail and traditional features, this Spoons looks miles better than most of the other gastro-pubs around.
Complete with a colossal glass-domed ceiling, chandeliers and historical column decor - this joint is definitely not your average sticky carpet and low light boozer.

Anyone in the UK is well-aware of the cult-status attached to Wetherspoons.
Boasting a cheap menu full of pub grub classics like bangers and mash, steak and kidney pie and - of course - ham, eggs and chips - many of us don't rock up to these establishments in search of luxury.
However, one location may be able to offer you the best of both worlds and it's nestled in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, of all places.

According to its website, the eatery is a 'grade I listed monument' which was designed by 'Ellis & Woodward and built by Lot Jackaman at a cost of £7,000'.

The historical premises went underwent a massive refurbishment some 148 years later in June 2010.
So, it makes total sense that the Spoons would be aptly named 'The Corn Exchange' - given its history and all - when they first took it over back in 2012.
The pub explains why they kept so many of the original fittings and features during the big refurbishment.

"At the top of the stairs customers are greeted with a view through the original stone arches into the main vaulted space. The original glass roof has been retained to maximise on natural light filling the space," the website reads.
It adds: "The prominence of the original building controls the grand experience, however on closer inspection contemporary elements work with the building to offer a surprising spark."
And a 'surprising spark' it sure does offer considering the hundreds of reviews from happy customers.
