A Holts pub... ok very cheep, just over £2 a pint. the staff looked a bit tired, as if they couldnt be bothered, The ale was ok and a couple of us had the mild which was ok. this place was full of old men in there 70's. I suppose they need to wach there pennies!! nothing special here but would go back.

I love the Ape. The staff are very friendly; they always remember you (and what you drink!). Service is excellent, even when its packed. Even if you've not been in for a while you're made to feel like you were in yesterday.
It does have problems with the toilets (old drains apparently). However, the beer is consistently excellent, and they now have a seasonal pump with monthly changes as well as the bitter, mild, smooth and black. The bottled Holt's ales are worth a dabble too.
Atmosphere is always spot-on. Its at its busiest at lunchtime and after work but its always relaxing and never pretentious. A real mix of people, no trouble and cosy to boot. A real (ale) gem!

Great condition Mild and Bitter on visits last two years. It retains character for the area and era when it was built, not always great as a local but refreshing as a visitor.

Large but quiet Holts pub. Bitter, Mild and Maplemoon were the 3 real ales available. The interior does have some nice traditional features. But it really lacked any kind of atmosphere on my Sunday evening visit.

I found the Holts Bitter on this visit drinkable (and only £2.02 for a pint) but not worthy of the 'Good' epithet. The pub itself was furnished in an identkit style like so many others and lacked any character. Not somewhere I'll be rushing back to.
