Returned to this nuclear after nigh on 2 decades, still a good battle-cruiser! Cheap Sam Smiths, good range of pre-packed, foil wrapped comestibles and obligatory drunk person with their arse out, great stuff!!!

Came in here for a quick one last night. No OBB in cask, I had a bottle of Oatmeal Stout which was on the expensive side at around £3.50. Nice pub though, various rooms around the central bar including one with a dartboard and an upstairs bar too.
Will give it a 6 which is exceptional for pub with no cask ale.

Had a few pleasant nights in here recently... nice staff, laid back customers, very pub-like inside but you can also sit outside. It's alright. And either the Sam Smiths is exceptionally well kept or I'm starting to get a taste for it

Ended up here on a weekday mid afternoon skive, very pleasant with a few people just reading the papers. Pub is Samuel Smiths of Tadcaster, so beer is touch and go to say the least, but at £1.71 for a pint of bitter - is a blessing rather than reason to find fault. The manager is a toon loving geordie too.

High ceilinged 3 room old style pub. The middle, very small, room is the games room with a babyfoot table. The whole place has a certain Sam Smith's charm, though the lacks the impact of The Champion. No cask available. The Ayinger weise was £2.50 and drinkable. The sweet toffee flavours compensated for the off wheat flavours and the dull and intrusive fizz.

I'm sure it is a very different pub in the week but from my saturday afternoon visit - can't say I was particularly impressed.
Fair enough, it is a typical Smith's pub but having come via a couple of others in the area it doesn't really compete. The atmophere inside was a bit stale but there was only really staff and a few pissed regulars so not a lot to go on. None the less, the beer was good and the outdoor seating was a major plus. Maybe it's a grower.

this is a very good pub - nice beer - with tablefootball and darts - where the fuck is the bar billiads gone though - unfortunatly the lounge bar always seems to be booked on a friday evening - the rest of the time its the best bit of the pub.

Seemed a good pub, although was slightly tainted by witnessing a fight at 3 in the afternoon.
However, not the pubs fault.

the radio 1 pub.
Always full of people who work there if you go at sixish on a weekday.
Nice pub, but can get very busy

Besides the foosball (Whose spelling is that??!) they also have a genuine bar billards table. Well worth a visit on Friday nights. (Visit and discover why!) Cheers.
