I use this place as a sports bar (3 plasmas & 2 big screens). Unfortunately the bar staff don't seem to be sports fans and turn off the commentry whenever they can in favour of music - even when a big game is on. That minor gripe aside - the beer is ok, and good for student discounts. They also do live music.

Fantastic pub with guess what two real ales on pump atleats one is always local and the other is still fantastic. The prices are brilliant as i have a discount card which gets me %20 off and this is available to anyone. Plus students get this offer just by showing there student id. Shame on whoever posted the last comment maybe they were to drunk to know what the were talking about or just a bit slow awhh

This place has bouncers at the weekend. Drinks are expensive. No real ales. And it's a youth hostel! Amazingly it's opposite the Old Green Tree. Go to the Old Green Tree instead. Or there's a Waitrose 50m across the road. Buy a bottle of cider and go and sit in Parade Gardens. Better experience than St Christophers!

Slightly trendy in a tacky way, but despite that its usually a good bet for interesting conversation- its main trade is as the city centres only youth hostel. Food looks good though ive never tried it, and usually good offers on.

went there on saturday on match day. Not many people in at all (basically empty) and food still took an hour to arrive. Then the American bar maid wouldn't put the Rugby on insisting "everyone's watching Hockey", everyone being just her as the only person near the bar. So much for looking after your customers! Rubbish pub, worse food, annoying, uninterested staff! Never going back - Saracen's Head is better!!!!

Formerly known as Olivers, refit was probably overdue, as despite a seemingly prime location, never had any customers!

Pub changed to St Christophers as of May 2003. Gone a bit trendy.
