I didn't, quite, believe the recent reviews of this pub, which was once my local. I still don't, it's a bloody sight worse.

Charming example of Neanderthal watering hole, I'm ashamed to say this is my local, would not visit it to use the toilets, at least the police know wher all the local chavs are at any one time. Avoid unless you are David Attenborough.

The pits. It has been ever since I was a teenager. Avoid.

good atmosphere, friendly bar staff and most importantly the beer tastes awesome. A++++++++++++++

I called in last Saturday afternoon because I couldn't believe that anywhere could be as bad as the previous reviewers make out. Wrong - it's worse! The first thing I encountered was the cannabis aroma from a couple of chavs smoking a joint. Then there was a pissed woman trying to give some bloke a good hiding. And lastly, someone tried to throw a bottle of Bud at the TV - but missed. I left, smartish. A well deserved zero.

if you want a punch up with local chavs then this is the place.Burberry baseball caps and pissheads.Beer shit,decor shit and the Police are freequent attenders

This pub looks particularly rowdy from the outside. I have seen couples arguing outside and peeing against the walls when driving past.

Contained - Many of the pubs in the area such as The Five Ways, Thatched House and Horse & Jockey have shown a marked improvement over the past few years so I recently re-visited The Ensbury Park hoping that it had undergone a similar transformation. Sorry to say that it's as bad as ever if not even worse as you can now witness the people nipping in and out of the Gents toilet at a frequency which can't be explained by a need to empty the bladder even if they are necking pints at a record pace which didn't seem to be the case. Atmosphere remains deeply unpleasant and the ale very ordinary. Must admit that I had a chuckle when I saw that my rating of 2/10 for this place is actually above the average.

I visited this pub last year.It was an active pub,but it needs for a refreshment especially the decor.Any way I'm an Omani boy and I spent a lot of time in this pub,so my comment is to do a refreshment in the toilet and other facilities...cheers

This place is still how John describes it - even today.

John - how long was it since you actually drank in there, a long time ago i feel. The place has come on leaps and bounds since you last visited. All the customers seem to have respect for the landlord and other customers, new and old, no matter what day, and however intoxicated.

Don't go in there if you value your health. Full of the feral youth that have doubtless already been banned from The Glasshouse in Winton. Picture on the big screen is atrocious. You can only see what's happening if you are sat square on to the screen. Beer is poorly kept. Place is just a dump really.
