Definitely not the foodie joint feared by anonymous. Rather, a friendly pub where you can get a good pint or two and have a good chat and a game of pool if required.
I think food was available but we didn't eat as we had many pubs to visit that day.

a much improved pub under new ownership, has got a beer festival at the end of may

Left hand bar was completely empty Sat 14:00, to the right the atmosphere was local, chatty & friendly. Nothing exceptional about décor or layout, pool table to far end, but feels like a venue for a decent pint and a chat & a laugh. Keystone Large One, Hobden’s Golden Delirious, GFB. Too many pubs on our list to stay for 2nd pint, which made it rather embarrassing that a second game of pool lasted forever, whilst our empty glasses had to remain unfilled! To the most recent anonymous comment (why?) I would say that this couldn't have a feel further away from being a 'foodie joint'.

I have heard a rumour that a new landlord will be taking over the pub at the beginning of December. Let's hope that it doesn't get turned into a foodie joint.

Often go there but I wish they would be a bit more adventurous with the choice of real ale - given that the place is a genuine free house. Also, why don't they do any food? I've been there, say, during a Saturday afternoon when I've felt a bit peckish and have had to leave to go elsewhere to get something to eat. Still, I like the place and will continue to go back.

Its good to see that this place still receives decent comments. Its a while since Ive been there or even in Salisbury for that matter, but the music in the lounge on the left was always good. Do they still do music?

Pleasant pub just off the ring road. Good selection of up to 4 real ales. Public bar can get a bit noisy, particularly when a pool match is on, but there is a separate lounge plus a super little garden.

I think they may have been having landlord problems here. However, always a good selection of ales - and only £2 a pint between 5pm and 7pm.

Four real ales (Hopback Spring Zing and Timothy Taylor Landlord appear to be on permanently) excellently kept. Two rooms and a garden. Worth visiting.

What a jolly pub! Called in yesterday for a pint, way off my local area, "Ecce homo ergo elk!" The nectar of the gods; Timothy Taylor's Draught Landlord. Not generally imbibed by me for over 25 years since I left the Keighley area.
Eclectic set of barmaids; such fun and greatly entertaining. Be sure to call again soon.

good ale pub with two beers, each, from Timothy Taylor and Hop Back when i visited
|
This has never been a Wetherspoons, and no longer does it necessarily have a Milk Street beer as it is notowned by them any more. Nevertheless, Timothy Taylor Landlord is permanently on as its biggest seller, as well as two guests. Well worth a visit.

A solace from the other nearby establishments that remind one of Darwins waiting room.

Beer has got better since the change of ownership. Music on saturdays can be largely varied in quality but open mic nights are fun and laid back. This pubs rating improves with time
