Visited on Saturday afternoon. Lovely building. Just a few punters. Had a reasonable pint of something golden. Landlord was complaining that things were quiet and how he was going to introduce karaoke to liven things up! It's amazing how many people who run pubs don't seem to have a clue how to make them a success. Surely this pub should draw trade from city visitors wanting a good pint in a fine pub away from the dross on Broad Street?

until a year or so ago this pub was great, albeit very smoky. However the last few visits have greatly reduced my appreciation of this pub. The beer doesn't appear to be kept as well as it was and the staff are now useless. It's a shame as for that part of town it was a great pub.

I believe this place has now shut?

Visited on a couple of stints over the last few months - almost no BEER on (and it was warm!), no atmosphere (TV on in the corner, barmaid chatting with her mates). Smelt badly of disinfectant.

So much potential though!

Judging by the last couple of reviews, I must have gone in on a good night last month - glasses clean, bar staff attentive in clearing glasses up after people left, and a few very nice pints. Can't really fault it, particularly given it's proximity to Broad Street and the abysmal efforts there.

used to a nice little pub but visited it after watching Shrek 3(cineworld across road) but like the other reviewer said the barstaff were more interested in smoking and talking to each other than serve anybody the got a lager in a dirty glass plus no tissus and soap in the gents.
