Well there is now yet another Manager in place. Lets hope she lasts longer than the last one...
Three key members of staff have left since her arrival, coincidence maybe??

Forget trying to get served in this pub anytime over the weekend it's impossible. The drinks are cheap and there is usually a good crowd in there, but the staff are terrible, and just serve the people that shout the loudestand are very slow. We have walked out the last 3 times having waited for ages to be served, we just give it a miss now!

There is certainly some inconsistency at this place, for me it's concerning the real ales. Quite often you can go in and there will be as few as 3 on, last night there were 8. No food a couple of weeks ago, they couldn't find a cook... There have been some management issues so I am informed and I suspect they are not quite resolved. Hopefully when they are, some continuity will return.

not used this place for awhile due to bad management and even worst bar staff 1 female duty manager even barred a bloke for yawning .have lost dozen.s of customers over last year all good drinkers .must be worst j.d.w in the country

Well what an improvement in this place, no less than 7 cask ales last night with 3 more ready to come on, credit where it's due I say. Tried Waggledance and Pendle Witch, both in good shape.

As almost all of our locals have closed down, we have made the Postal Order (The P O), our "local". We have, over 18 months, watched it going down the pan. Staffing issues, lukewarm food, filthy tables etc. We got quite friendly with the manager (Rob), who's ear we regularly bent on these issues and to be fair to him he did his best but he failed to lift the place. A new gaffer (Dave?) is in place and there are clear signs of improvement. Tables getting cleared and (for us) best of all, the guest ales regularly changing. As for the "weirdo" at the end of the bar, I think I know who you are on about, and to be truthful he's sound. Despite his hair/occasional loudness/appearance...

Good selection of well-kept cask ales. Good prices. BUT never enough bar staff. On two of my last five visits have walked out after waiting more than ten minutes to be served - at 1130 on a weekday morning!

fantastic place to meet and then start the pub crawl,beer quite reasonable. some top totty goes in, who is the bald guy who is always stood in the same spot when you go in. wierd..

Yes, its basically a good pub and the drink prices are to be rivalled - thats wetherspoons policy, and its a great one. But let me enlighten you to a recent experience, all leading to how they make it all back on food. An all day breakfast costs 1.99 (great value I know) but on the new menu you can now buy an all day brunch. The all day brunch consisits the exact same ingredients except one; chips. What would charge for the extra potato pleasure? 50p? as splashed all over the menu for the privelage,NO!, 2.50 extra is the new renamed all day brunch surplus you can and will be expected to pay. I've had apologies from wetherspoons and they have passed my comments to the catering dept.. but alas said I paid the price on the menu so tough. Please anyone who feels this is wrong please send an e-mail through thier website (www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk) and follow the easy link to thier e-mail complaints, your guarenteed to get a response within 4 days.I know I'd sure appreciate it, and it will help to stop this kind of profiteering.

might well be a good pub but we waited 10 mins be served on a sunday teatime before walking out.Having said that how they expect 2 barmaids to cope when there live footie on the tv and the pub is heaving ive no idea.Come on get some more staff weatherspoons!!!

Great Northern pub with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. A Wetherspoon, it has won much praise for giving its Blackburn punters "The Chreapest Pint in England" too. Guest beer and variety is good. They're also very strict on who they allow in now, so there tends to be none of your under-aged boozers crowding the bar! I recommend it for a chilled afternoon bevvie or for a couple prior to a club. On the other hand, it only has a couple of outdoor chairs and the food is obviously your JD bog Standard stuff.
