sorry no picture of this pubIf size is everything, then the Junction must be more than contented with itself. This huge rectangular building certainly packs the punters in on a weekend and has more than enough room to accommodate them all. Despite being so big it doesn't feel like you're drinking in an aircraft hanger and with a plethora of sofas and bench seating it is easy to find a comfortable spot. It might not be our venue of choice, but we couldn't fault the service, the music was loud enough without being obtrusive and the pizzas (two for one on Tuesday's) looked very tempting. The presence of three large projector screens also makes it a handy venue for watching sport. In fact, the trip to the men's toilets is up steps resembling those at the back of a football stand, so you can pretend you're actually at the game.
