Sir Norman Rae

A typical conversion by Wetherspoon from a previous use. Formerly a Co-op department store, it originally opened as a Lloyds No.1 but then changed to the standard Wetherspoon format. The pub comprises a single, large, open-plan room with the bar to one side. The guest real ale choice usually focuses on local breweries. As with other pubs in the group, Greene King products are also present on the bar. The good-value food on offer is from the usual Wetherspoon menu. The pub is conveniently located next to Shipley bus interchange, giving rise to its nickname of "The Waiting Room", and close to the railway station.
