In my experience pubs claiming to be gastro pubs tend to not be especially good either at food or drink. but if they are better at one than the other it's almost invariably food. The range of real ales and ciders is often dire.
Spoons is very good for ales, which are kept and served well, and while the food is only average, it gets more stars from me because of it's price.
I joined CAMRA a couple of years back but last week went to my first "event" - the AGM of my "Chapter", which was held in a 'spoons. I think I can trust them as fairly good judges of beer...
