Great beer, shame about the miserable staff. My family have been going in this pub since some of them were in nappies and they still speak to people as though they don't belong there. GET SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING.

Sorry to say didn't get passed the front door. Busy pub. Male dominated. Absolutely stank.

Situated next to the historic market building, this rambling old hotel is now part of the Sam Smiths empire and has an interior that has merited inclusiuon on the CAMRA inventory of unspoilt pub innards although it should be noted that some of the interior walls were actually reinstated during a major refurbishment in 2002 so it’s not all original. A series of rooms radiate from the main bar all quaintly dtaed in style and ambience. The prices are also rather old fashioned as long as you don’t mind the infamous Sam Smith product range. There are plenty of old pictures to transport your mind back in time including a 1900 picture of the building itself showoing how little anything has changed, apart from the new open air smokers terrace that is. Well worth popping in for the experience although it will generally appeal more to us more mature drinkers.

Great value Sam Smith's beers - including the new Cherry Fruit Beer. A pub where people go to meet and talk. Well worth a visit.
|
Excellent range of Smith's drinks - It is a shame that staff can be snotty for no reason whatsoever, not to mention early closing at random.

Excellent pint of Sam Smiths.Cheap beer,refurbed a couple of years ago.Still has a slightly older clientele.Handy for a quick refresher after arduous bargain hunting at the market next door.

Great lunchtime pub food, which is great value for money! Friendly barstaff.

a Sam Smiths pub
probably the best value ale in the area [Queens Head nearby same brewery]
very good pub meals, and a very busy pub
Bar closes at 11 p.m. on the dot whereas all the surrounding pubs stay open later
pleasant surroundings
very smokey generally, no 'non-smoking' room sadly
