| A proper, traditional pub. Ok, the pool table is a bit strange in the front room but it does have a cracking beer garden/smoking area at the side of the building. Also has a dart board which very few pubs have nowadays. Had a few pints of Tiger which was in great form and only £2.50 per pint (30/05/09). A great contrast to the poncy tapas and cafe culture bollox across the road in the Highcross "shopping experience". aehihc - 31 May 2009 14:18 |
| Called in here on Wednesday afternoon. Pub was empty which was a shame. Warm welcome from who I assume is the landlady - went for the Everards Beacon which was in good nick, felt guilty leaving in the end. Traditional backstreet pub, friendly but as pointed out before, the seating layout is somewhat odd - if I was them I would lose the pool table which dominates the whole pub and takes up most of the space.

| A basic ,locals boozer behind the High Cross shopping centre. Strange kind of layout. You enter via the public bar area which is dominated by a large pool table, flat screen tele and copious amounts of football club pendants hanging from the ceiling and no seating. Keep going and then you get to the slightly separate bar area which has a bench seating area, and again the bar being festooned with more football paraphanalia. Keep going again and you enter another area with a few tables and chairs and dartboard and then keep going again for the toilets. Front bar was very busy with locals at 5.30ish last Saturday when me and no 1 son sought solace from John Lewis and Debenhams. But we ploughed our way through to the bar and seating area behind and were rewarded by a very nice pint of Tiger and fast and firendly service by the bustling Land Lady and Land Lord. Not a smart pub, but if you are after a decent pint of Everards served couteously with a smile, then you can't go wrong with The Richard III. And being cockneys, we did have a good laugh at the name.

| Having found that the Hat and Beaver was no more called in here instead. A basic pub with local working clientele, just the sort of place I enjoy visiting. Everards beers, good value rolls. TiaMariaJim - 23 Jun 2008 11:52 |
