The watering hole of choice for any classic rock fan, you had to queue to get ins any time after 7.30 during the weekend. Your webmaster was there virtually every night of the week for many years. Manageress Olga Marshall (sadly, no longer with us) looked after her regulars like a mother and the bouncers were a decent bunch. The DJs (Paul Unwin was a regular) knew exactly what people wanted. I remember hearing Van Halen's "Eruption" there for the first time and sneeringly saying "that can't be a guitar" (cough).

Regular table football contests were held there and they were amog the first to offer electronic Table tennis" then Space Invaders. Although not a weekly or monthly venue, bands did play the Wapentake from time to time, including local legends Haze and even rock monsters Def Leppard.
