Sir Henry Newbolt, Bilstonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Hook Norton and Springhead beers apart from the usual Spoons fare with a couple of others waiting to come on. Pretty clean and tidy, small patio outside which looked decent. Much worse Spoons around.

I have eaten at this place many times and taken friends and have had pleasant service from the female staff. The female bar staff are polite but most all of the male staff especially rude and are not the sort of people you want would want to meet in the street let alone a bar, you have just spent good money on a Saturday night to drink to to say they had no respect is a understatement; being a paying customer I do not expect much but to have lewd and insulting comments of door staff I found upsetting and completely uncalled for. As the bar closes I was asked to leave immediately. All of the staff were all around the age of twenty and those left in control far to arrogant and immature to be left in charge of such a large establishment! Having worked in the restaurant and pub trade I found this place completely ruined what could have been a good night.

A little worse than a typical Spoons. There is, as always, a choice of ales and the food is the usual standard, but the place has more people in the smoking area than inside, during the day and requires tough bouncers on a night (Friday) as it gets rammed with the local kids getting fuelled up.
Best pop in during the day is my advice, especially if you smoke, you dont have to light up, just go and breathe all the fumes and remember the days before the soking ban.

Only one thing I can say about this pub.
DONT BOTHER....

Typical suburban Spoons with a decent Bishops Finger but not really a real-ale driven pub.

Decent pint of Hook Norton ale was had here in the beer patio,8/10
