There was a 'fresh fish' van/stall outside 'Trawlers' yesterday, if thats your bag! And Karaoke appears popular here on Friday nights... mmmmmhhh!

Went passed 'Trawlers' today at 6.30pm... it still looks as if its 'closed', there were no cars at all at the front. Maybe the manager could hire some cars from somewhere and make it look like people go there!!

Now called "Trawlers" (as mentioned by eagle-eyed GP) my curiosity got the better of me, and in passing by yesterday I noticed a sign above the front/main entrance "Entrance to Restaurant", so presumably you can get a meal here now. But why you would want to.. is another matter!! Have the 5 bar-huggers been evicted now..!? In which case, it might be worth a visit.
The problem here is location. This pub is right in the middle of no-mans-land! You don't see it because the Upper Halliford Road is a fairly fast road, and nobody stops along there (unless residing or have business nearby) so only minimum passing trade. Unless recommended by word of mouth, regularly, this pub will never pull big crowds. And right now it ain't doing it!
Apparently there are 17 acres at the back of this pub, including an old large trout lake! And a small football pitch with pavillion. Surely a 'good' developer/landlord could make good use of such space??
Well, it hasn't happened yet... or will it..?? TJ

I have been in this pub twice. After going in once I was in no hurry to return, but I like to give things the benefit of the doubt so went back. What a mistake. I've been in some rubbish pubs in my time and have worked in a cliquey pub before, but you walk into this place and the 5 customers look at you as if you've just walked into their living room at home. Some of the chavviest people I've ever seen, look like they'll nick your car should you leave it in the car park. I'd rather stay in than risk this pub again.

I had some good visits in this pub when it was the Tickled Trout, and got 'pickled' on more than one occasion! In 2005 the food was excellent, particularly the fish dishes...but that was 2005 !!
Ian H. was a good bar manager.
Now the place looks 'closed down' from the road, but you can sneak in the left side entrance. If you want a cheap pint. I normally have a 4 minute rule.. if I don't get any eye contact from staff behind the bar, or get served within 4mins of standing at the bar, I usually walk straight out! And thats what I did last time I was in the TT ! And there were only 5 people in the pub at the time!! Serious staff problems. And 2/3 of the ground floor were not being utilised!!
Big Problemo !! (What went wrong Donna..?) TJ
