please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Went in here on a saturday night recently, ordered 2 pints for my friend and i, paid for them and before we had a chance to take a sip the manager told us we were too drunk and and to get out. Considering we weren't falling over drunk or causing trouble i tried to explain that we just wanted to drink our drinks quietly and go but he wouldnt even listen and then escorted us outside.
Its a real shame cause they have some good live bands in here but the pub is spoilt by having a manager on a power trip. Dont go in here if you've had more than 3 pints cause you'll probably be told that you're too drunk (after you've paid for your drinks!)

Tends to have three ales available (London Pride, Adnams Bitter and one other). Serves reasonably priced food. Lots of TV screens for watching sports and also has a pool table.

This place should and could be a cracker, but for some reason it fails to achieve its potential. Good location, good beer, good interior - But.....

I have been disillusioned by this pub, at first glances it is a friendly place where some of the bar staff are warm and welcoming and have an ounce of common sense then…then…you meet the manager a rude and arrogant man who seems to think that as he is a manager of a pub (not somewhere classy) that he is above everyone else. Their staff never seem to last long whether this is because of the manager, the disgusting toilets or purely the fact that they were fired for not knowing what a pint glass looks like I no not…I warn any bar staff looking for work unless you can fly on a magic carpet or broomstick or even live seconds away from the pub then don’t expect even a chance or a job application form from the manager…because and this is a direct quote “I will not employ people who need to travel home because it will get to 11 o’clock and people will be checking their watch” what I decent manager!

This pub was absolutely appalling. it took an hour for our food to arrive, and it arrived in dribs and drabs, so we couldnt eat together. when it did arrive it was cold. one of my friends' meal was forgotton about entirely. the manager couldn't care less about our experience and had a disgusting attitude to customer service. i would never ever go there again, and would recommend that unless you like going somewhere where your custom is unappreciated then this is not the pub for you.

Large open pub right next to the bus station. Decent food at a decent price and reasonably cheap beer. A good selection of largers and a couple of decent bitters.

Live music quite often and sports.
