| Sorry, forgot the jewel in the crown of this pub, I once asked why there was no disabled access or toilets and was told by the manager "because I dont want them in here, too much hassel, and they depress the punters" Can you beleive that?? I was speachless. beergreatbeer - 19 May 2008 21:22 |
| This pub has gotten gradually worse and worse, especially since the new manager took over. The pub is frequeted by smelly old men who drink all day log and pick fights with eachother regularly. The pub is dirty and furnished with dirty, smelly damp cushions. The Pints are flat and overpriced. The staff always look overworked and underpayed. I heard that the (one eyed) manager is an ex gypsey boxer, this wouldnt supprise me as he broke a customer's arm not two weeks ago over a small disagreement. Regulars are allowed to be as drunk and violent as they like, while students and non regulars will be booted out forcefully over nothing. This truly is a local pub for local people only 2/10 beergreatbeer - 19 May 2008 21:11 |
| Re:previous subscriber I think the clue is in his non-de-plume. He seems to have a real downer on Bournemouth pubs, so take heart Richmond Arms you are in good company. Unless your pub has the aroma of "hoppy" farts and middle-class pretension he will never give you a favourable review, apart from that I'm sure he's a lovely chap summerisle - 20 Feb 2008 16:26 |
| very funny- the barstaff are clueless- my friend and i popped in for a pint about 12- only ones in there- the guy served us- then he came up to my friend and said 'only allow trainers if it's part of work gear' HA HA - work that one out??? Then- being the only two in there- he was in the kitchen- and as you do- i called out- another two of the same when you're ready mate- to be met with a frosty- 'yeh, let me get out of the kitchen first mate..' we left in protest. what a dive- bournemouth is frightening. nofanofbritain - 18 Feb 2008 21:45 |
| Crap. Asked for an irish whiskey,but they didn't carry any. All they had was Teachers or Bells.If that's the choice,sliced white bread or white sliced bread,why bother?Why not just stock one?In the evening it's full of students,so I guess they think they can serve what they like.During the day it's like being trapped in a chain pub in the 1970's.Staff generally unhelpful.One to avoid if you're over 25. jdb1 - 18 Jan 2008 18:59 |
