| Im sorry you dont seem to like the landladys low tolerance for crap from out of line customers, but as she's been running pubs for over ten years and has been very succesful in doing so, I think she knows what she's doing. As for your defamatory attack on her,she would not be as succesfull in her industry if she went around "yelling vile abuse at staff and customers" and would not have the bar packed with customers each week, which clearly speaks for itself. Finally the comment about the pool player being kicked off the team smells slightly of sour grapes to me as there are already 2 new teams I think. beer_monster66 - 24 Nov 2011 19:40 |
| I went into the blue boar for a pool match last night, it started off well and then a blonde at the end of the bar started being vile and abusive to not only some of the customers but also the staff behind the bar. Yelling obscenities at some of the pool players and being very rude in general. She was completely out of it and very drunk! I was wondering why the staff behind the bar were tolerating such abuse being thrown at customers (one of which was told he wasn't allowed to be on there pool team any longer as she didn't like him) she continued to show her self up and just as I was about to ask one of the ladies behind the bar why she was aloud to get away with it and hadn't been asked to leave I realised that she was the landlady! The atmosphere was dreadful and I for one shall never go back as long as she is there. Other than that I had great service From behind the bar with a lovely smile and a bit of friendly banter Cuedup - 26 Oct 2011 19:46 |
| Called in before the Southend match yesterday to find only lager and Guinness available - two handpumps on the bar but both were out of action, despite the place being relatively quiet. Otherwise it had the makings of a half decent pub - reasonable atmosphere, friendly enough staff, pool table, quiz machine and sport on TV. rob1981 - 9 Jan 2011 21:09 |
| Well done the Blue Boar. I have seen the recent changes and I had a very pleasant night last week. A place to sit and read one of the many and varied books provided on the bookshelves. Beer was in perfect condition, a place to take your girlfriend for a relaxed glass of wine in a yet vibrant environment. It was so good to see something going on in each corner. Pool, music, games machines and tv. No food was on offer although I'm told that may soon change. The place felt as it did 20 years ago. Damn good place to kill some time. gregdaniels - 2 Apr 2010 18:46 |
| The Management in this pub are hostile to say the least. The bar and carpet was dirty and the beer not great. Avoid it if you want to complain as you may ,like us, be met with a barrage of abuse. baronesswhitford - 3 Dec 2008 14:49 |
