| Had a terrible experience in here at the weekend. Made to feel like a hindrance and a burden by the staff. Manager was rude to us and when this was politely pointed out to him he kicked us out and barred us. I don't like whinging, but this was completely uncalled for and smacks of a petty autocrat with no idea of what running a pub is all about. Past experiences have not been much better - poor attitude from staff, ropey over-priced food (how hard is it to get pub grub right?), and downright hostility should you be unsatisfied in any way. Such a shame, because in the right hands this could be one of the top pubs in Britain due to the location. Beers are ok, though nothing to write home about. Markoni - 2 Apr 2012 18:47 |
| This pub is overated. Ok so it is in a great location next to the canal but really that is about it. The inside is tatty, it's often too busy and takes ages to get served and for some reason this pub does attract the lowlife at times. The ales that i had were average so 3/10 from me! montie49 - 15 Aug 2011 16:44 |
| Another return visit was again a little disappointing (last week), had two pints of Branoc, just tasted watery, def had better Branoc elsewhere. Asked for beer in handles. Was told 'no, chucked em' quote. Regrettably might have to consider giving it a swerve in future. rioathmusV - 6 Jun 2011 12:57 |
| So, nothing to say about the Double Locks, then? Could we have some information about the pub here, please? Trequites - 25 Dec 2010 18:34 |
| Littledrummerboy: 'Old Bastard' was rebadged Everards Old Original, and had been since 1987. When Smiles bought the pub their own three ales kept their own name. 'Old Bastard' continued to be sold until 1999. It vanished when Youngs bought the pub and began running the place down to it's present state. darkestdevon - 29 Oct 2010 22:42 |
