Had my 30th birthday party here in April 2011. The landlord was great, and kept in touch with me the whole time regarding my requirements. Everyone had a great time, they put a hog roast on (menu 3 on the choices) - people at my party said it was the best hog roast they'd ever had! The landlord sorted out an entertainments licence so I could have a band, the whole day/ night was fantastic. The landlord also sorted out a discounted rate at a nice local hotel, couldn't have asked for any more, 10/10!!

We had our wedding reception there in November 2010 the food was amazing the atmosphere was brilliant x. The people there are fantastic we had a hog roast and it tasted divine xxxxx would highly recommend going to this venue. We have even got one of our best friends wanting to use the same place for his up coming marriage xxx

Thanks to Andrew senior and his team definatley worth a visit even if it's just for drink to see the place what do u have to lose

A welcome recent refurbishment of this pub will hopefully turn things round for the trade at a pub which has had mixed fortunes over the years. Adnams Bitter and Shepherd Neame Spitfire on tap at reasonable prices. Both bars look like Lounges and there appear to be no pub games but that may be what the place needs. The 17 bus terminates outside and the pub is handy for the Uni and there are plenty of chimney pots around so it should do well.

This pub is having a refurb and the early signs are looking great. no pool table and all the old original windows and high ceiling have been opened up in the main bar. This had taken it from a bit dark and dingy to a nice big open space The toilets have had a long overdue total makeover.
I've been told an exciting new menu is on the way and wine list to.
It looks like there really going to have a go at making this a really nice pub.

Beer still OK, but I find the place very uninspiring, doesn’t attract too many punters either.

Very few students, even though it’s right outside the back entrance, a massive untapped market there.

I’d much rather walk the extra 10 minutes to the Roebuck.

Decent enough boozer catering for locals and students from the Uni across the street.

Has a couple of beers on (Pride and Courage Best) which were OK.

Nice in summer, the front end is a sun-trap.

Nothing special, but OK for what it is.

Let's be realistic about the 3 Tuns, it's dump!!! The lounge has been decorated in a slapdash manner, white gloss and neon lights, not really lounge bar decor. The gents needs totally refurbishing as tiles have fallen off and plaster is down to bear brick. Service, although improved recently, is only bearly acceptable and the landlord would rather you left the pub than service you himself. Generally a horrible pub.

Has no less than 3 (count them, one two THREE) pool tables - decide for yourself if that's a good thing. Also a dart board.
