| It's improved tremendously over the past couple of years - friendly and enthusiastic bar staff, clean and a landlord who appears to take on board what his customers ask for. Having posted a bad review two or three years ago I'm pleased to say that my rating must now be increased. Just one thing - ask them to turn the music down if like me you enjoy conversation (in fairness the staff will usually oblige) GRMull - 7 Jan 2008 20:38 |
| Called in last Tuesday and this was so packed that neither a seat nor a drink could be obtained. An interesting and varied clientelle, probably not appropriate for Church of England vicars and their wives and 16 year old virgin daughters. Could smell the whacky baccy many yards down the road. Unique might be an apt description. alanwrigg - 22 Mar 2007 20:11 |
| Old style sleazy rock pub, filled with old sleazy rockers and young goth kids, smoke and beer. If you need a retreat from sterile chain pubs frequented by the likes of Darren from marketing, this is the one for you. anonymous - 19 Oct 2006 18:32 |
| Great pub if you like your rock music. Gets VERY crowded on the big pub nights. Very much a locals place. Staff are pretty good though although the landlord needs to sort out the calling of last orders at 10.35. Used to be a place I went to regularly but stopped going in there a while ago. Beer is good although the ale selection needs to be improved a bit. Prices are average. Mega smokey. Far too few seats but the layout doesn't really allow for much else. The beer garden would be vastly improved without the bins being put in the middle of them and attracting the flies during the summer months. You will need a wash and change of clothes after this place. anonymous - 26 Sep 2006 15:30 |
| As a regular down the hob, I want to say how much of a great pub this is live music, fantastic juke box, the locals and the great bar staff. Now alot of people have a somesort of a problem with the landlord "swin", but i'll tell you swin is a top class bloke he's a take me as you see me person. Yes he can get in bad moods but don't we all! He's part of what makes the pub so good. This pub is by far the best in bicester and for miles around. Like your rock music and live bands this is the place to be, at new years i had the night of my life everyone had an awsome time and the dj "Goochy" was spot on playing requests all night he was one of the people that made the night plus he works behind the bar too so hopefully he'll do more nights and soon. the dark smokeyness of this pub brings character a proper rock side which always is good for a rock pub. So if you are coming to bicester or you live there this is the best place to be and have one hell of a good time. powerslaveDJ - 28 May 2006 15:17 |
