Have not been in here that much since Frank the old barman left. he made this pub what it was, the times I have been in there it is an empty run down pub with little ale or atmosphere.
|
Don't just don't. Grave yard is an insult to grave yards when commenting on this place. there is more atmosphere on the moon. Beer horrible and staff ignorant. A bit of a dossers pub or so it seems. Felt like the life had been sucked out of me after going there, never again.
|
Just not the same since Frank the barman left!
|
Oh dear. Beer dreadful, limited choice, empty pub, leasehold for sale, dingy. This place is an excellent example of how a well-run homely pub can hit the buffers in a few years. It's called neglect. What's amazing is that it must be obvious that you can't get away with this level of ineptitude when there are 7 pubs within 10 minutes walk. You won't get any custom. And the Cock doesn't. Shame.

Looks poor from the outside but great on the inside.
Average range of drinks. Pool table, fruit machine, juke box and bar snacks.
Nice beer garden.
I like!

Noticed the Lease is up for Sale, didnt it go for �1 last time it was up?
|
Visited on 25Oct07. Good pint of Courage Best and cheap at �2.30, no short measures, friendly barman. What more can you ask?
|
this pub is great i use to go there every fri with my mates since we were 17 and always friendly ppl now they have a dog who sits proply on a chair too. and great juke box.
|
Ventured back in on Saturday, two ales on (an average pint of) London Pride and Courage Best.
There was a dartboard, but not much else.
Dark, drab and depressing. Could be a good pub with a bit of effort.
|
I did this place a slight disservice, I got it mixed up with The Pheonix over the road. Compared to there, this place is actually not so bad...!
|
Barstaff get naggy when you sing your own words to the Irish Rover.
|
Low-grade locals-only pub. Not terribly inspiring, and you get funny looks in there if you either
a) aren't a builder
b) aren't already pissed
c) don't have lots of conspicuous Elizabeth Duke jewellry.
But if that floats your boat you'll have a lot of fun here... ;o)
|
The bar is usually adorned with men in high-visibility jackets and scruffy grey hair.
Lovely smelling drain outside.
|
Everyone shouts, true. It's the only way to get heard when anyone else in there is halfway-brain-damaged by 3pm.
|
the name say it all, full of them. not worth a look unless you are a "Shouty Man" in training.

Went in there to watch the football once, turned it off at half-time because a local wanted to watch the rugby. The barman told us to go to the nearby Blue Anchor to watch the rest, so we did and have been ever since.
