It’s the high-street staple known across the UK for cheap drinks, all-day breakfasts, and carpets so garish they might just give you vertigo.

With hundreds of pubs stretching from one end of the country to the other, it seems Farnham is the latest town to join the Wetherspoons family.

The anticipated arrival of the iconic chain has stirred mixed reactions from Farnham's residents. For some, the prospect of affordable pints and classic pub grub is a welcome addition. Others, however, voiced concerns over the impact on the town's character, with fears that Wetherspoons might undermine the trade of local, independent pubs.

For many, a visit to a Wetherspoons is nothing new. Whether it’s a quick pit stop between train changes or a longer hangout with friends, chances are you've popped into one in other towns.

So, while the brand is familiar, a Wetherspoons in Farnham is a new experience, and there are a few things that make it stand out from your typical local pub. Here’s what you can expect:

Most punters can forget dancing till 3am — Wetherspoons famously doesn’t do music.

For the most part, the chain doesn’t hold music licences, so the only soundtrack you’ll get is background chatter and the occasional plate clatter.

However, in more recent years, Wetherspoons owner Tim Martin has opened a number of Lloyds No.1 Bars - colloquially known as ‘Party Wetherspoons’.

Lloyds is a ‘Spoons sub-brand that runs pubs with music, traditionally later licences and a stronger focus on drinks.

But it remains to be seen what type of Wetherspoon the town will get.

You don’t buy a latte or a cappuccino in Wetherspoons.

Technically, you rent a cup for around £1.56.

That bit of pottery then grants you unlimited access to the hot drinks machine.

In other pubs, the machines are usually dotted around the venue (there tends to be more than one, depending on the size of the site).

These machines are pretty high-tech and serve all manner of drinks from cappuccinos to lattes.

However, you can forget seeing any fancy coffee art on top of your flat white - unless you’re a dab hand at latte art yourself.

Wetherspoons has a reputation for somewhat chaotic décor.

Think busy carpets, quirky seating layouts and the occasional wild colour clash.

If a hoarder designed a pub, it might look a bit like this – so we’re curious to see how they’ll rework the Slug and Lettuce space in Farnham.

It’s a social media trend that could finally reach our town.

Post your table number and pub name into one of the many ‘Wetherspoons Game’ Facebook groups, and strangers might send you anything from a pint to a bowl of peas.

There’s no catch – just an unspoken rule that you do the same for some other randomer next time.

Thanks to the app, you won’t even have to leave your seat to order.

Wetherspoons only shows what's available on Freeview, so while you’ll catch the Olympics, Six Nations or Euros, don’t expect regular Premier League matches.

If your evening revolves around football, you might want to find somewhere else to settle in.

So, whether you love it or hate it, ‘Spoons is on its way to Farnham.

Brace yourselves - and maybe keep that app downloaded.
