Yeah 5 quid seems about right after the conversion is done. I remember when I was in Brighton for a weekend the Wetherspoons there was charging 3.95 for a pint of Stella.
There were some really good pubs in Colwyn Bay that specialized in local ales, specifically the Cayleigh in Rhos-On-Sea area (I refuse to refer to it as it's own town) which was kind enough to include a two pool tables, a dartboard, and even Tuesday night karaoke.
I'm not sure what the general consensus is on Wetherspoons but I enjoyed it for what it was. Sure it kind of sucked on Sundays because of the family night, but it was cheap, large, and had hot bartenders.
