THE ALEXANDER BAIN, JD WETHERSPOONS

The Pub company of the year 2010.
The Alexander Bain is one of over 700 pubs owned by J.D. Wetherspoon which opened its doors in May 2003. It is named after Alexander Bain who invented the fax machine, he was born and bred in nearby Watten and had a shop within the town. The building itself used to be the sorting office for Wick.

The pub is family friendly with a designated family area and offers a wide variety of food
including a childrens' menu and a wide variety of both alcoholic and non-alcholic drinks. We open
from 7a.m. to 10p.m. daily with the childrens' menu available from 7a.m. to 7p.m. All under 18s
must be accompanied by an adult and have vacated the building by 8p.m. daily. The pub is open
until midnight on from Mondays to Thursdays, 1a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11.45pm on Sundays.

Within the pub we hold regular charity events raising money for the company sponsored charity
Clic Sargent as well as events for local charities. We also have bands playing at least once a month, most being local bands. We also have a community noticeboard within the pub to
allow both local people and tourists know about up and coming local events.

It is a large pub with a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. We have a designated seated smoking
area at the front of the building. The pub has lots of promotions including two Real
Ale festivals per year, wine festivals, Christmas bookings, menu changes every 6 months and new
drinks promotions.
