The Spooner passion for providing quality meat, and other food and drink, goes back over generations of family butchers. The pub’s decor echoes this history with walls displaying meat cleavers, butchers’ hooks and bulls’ heads. Howard’s 25 years’ experience in creating and operating clubs and bars in London and Verbier, is evident in maximising the customer space and experience. The recent grand refurbishment to ‘The Who’d A’, as it has affectionately become known, has brought the bar and restaurant a relaxed elegance with the use of leather and hide prints, comfortable furnishings and atmospheric lighting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1509451246551{background-color: #e2ebc9 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner layout=”boxed”][vc_column_inner][handmade_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner layout=”boxed”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1234″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” css=”.vc_custom_1511359167302{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
