Have noticed this place has reopened presumably with new owners.
Have had some enjoyable evenings there in the past. It'll be interesting to see if there's been any improvements from what was before...

Closed and boarded up currently (March 08).

Had to leave after one pint as it reminded me of Phoenix Nights too much!!!! Not my ideal boozer - personal opinion of course

Stopped here the other day. I remember that it used to have amazing flowers out the front. It has changed ownership and that doesn't seem to of done it any harm. It's a nice old fashioned pub with local people dring in it and they were all very friendly. Beer was good and well kept with pleasent attentive staff and the Food looked good too. The pub is however quite run down and is at this moment in time being renovated by the new owners. Watch this space! A good local with much promise.

"It's very much a geezers pub"
Are you sure we're talking about the same pub? The Standard of England I remember when 'hacking & bashing' a Narrowboat up and down the nearby canal was a first class pub and - did first class food and booze to a standard that caused me to make a complete cock-up of the nearby lock ! To the tourist, ignore wezmiester, he was having a bad lager day when he wrote that review, they're a great all round nice lot and this is also the kind of British Boozer the Americans should see instead of the 'pap on tap & plate' they get in London. Ps does old Geordie John still look after the hanging baskets? Well worth 9/10

Yes the Standard of England is very much going - I'm there most Thursday nights doing karaoke! It did though change hands last Christmas and since then there has been a new food menu, guest ales, pool table, live music evening and new digital jukebox have been introduced.
And one for the ladies there'll be an Ann Summers night there on Monday 1st May 2006!!!

I have my doubts that this pub is still here. Not much sign of life. Any updates?

This happens to be my local where I've spent many a p#$$#d night there! It's very much a geezers pub but there's quite afriendly atmosphere. Facillities include beer garden, juke box, a reasonabley sized function room and a big screen for sporting events. I think it could do with a like of paint inside (lol!)and it would be great if we had more entertainment like karaoke, live music etc. All in all though a good community pub.
