A bit of a dump, rubbish beer the night I visited. Over the road was better and friendlier.

Not bad, typical chain style but the beers reasonable. Food is cheap but nothing special, look for the independant pubs for better food.

The pudding challenge involves eating a pudding and not throwing up within 30 minutes.
So far no one has succeeded.

I love it here. Great service. quite a local pub but being a hungry horse there is cheap food and you cant leave without trying the pudding challenge.

This happened well over a year ago; however it was only published in The Daily Echo at the time of the court case. All staff are completely new now and the Landlord is pleasant and continuously coming up with new ideas regarding Food, Entertainment & Sports which have proved to have been succesful. I would have probably agreed to some of the comments on here over a year ago but certainly not now.

Is this true? I was always reluctant to go into this pub, something about it just didn't feel right.
Now I know why.

No previous reviews have been posted on this pub which is a surprise considering the owners have just been given a fine in excess of £42,000 for breaching hygiene regulations and for continuing to serve food after being told that the kitchens are discgusting and should be closed.
Typical greene king. All they did was sack the manager and sat it was his fault, not theirs, even though they had been warned time and time before the coyrt case.
Now they've put another manager in charge but this one is just another g.k.idiot whose probably just as stupid as the last.
DO NOT EAT IN THIS PLACE. IT IS THE MOST UNHYGIENIC PLACE I'VE SEEN. £42,000 fine is just not enough
