| Not great, inexpensive, bar staff unbelievably rude, seemed to really resent serving me on a quiet Wednesday night. Surely the whole point of bar staff is to pour you half decent drinks and at least pretend to smile – otherwise you may as well drink at home. Toilets stank, I mean they smelt bad. Strange mix of people, generally not very friendly. Avoid if at all possible. biggingerdude - 3 Jul 2008 14:38 |
| I live right by this pub, used to be good, but now the food is lethal (or non existant) the atmosphere is dark and threatening,the landlady is the rudest on the planet and the place is full of chavs. Highly recommended if you want a fight, food poisoning or abuse. Zedferret - 16 Jun 2008 17:25 |
| Avoid at all costs!!!! We used this as our local when we first moved to the area, but it's such a dump now we don't bother. The food used to be good but now it takes ages to arrive, is usually cold and suspect in origin. The last time we ate a roast there the chicken was stone cold, it was obvious it had come straight from the freezer and not been heated properly. We complained and got our money back. My wife complained to the head office only to get some rep ring and go on about how they have great plans for the place. There's only one plan in my mind - knock it down! The decor is shabby, filthy dirty and unhygienic. The toilets are utterly disgusting. The staff are completley mindless and disinterested in the customers. You're lucky to get a grunt out of them. The landlady is conspicuous by her abscence and allows her kids to use the place as their personal playground. I'm sure Orchid Group are just waiting for an offer from a developer to knock it down and build flats as it's a large site. Hope they do, anything is an improvement on what's there now.

| I wont eat in here anymore, being diabetic, I just cant wait an hour for food, such a shame, I used to enjoy this place, most of the bar staff, except one male, are polite, but the service is terrible suzyb - 31 Mar 2008 15:40 |
| I travel down from stroud once a month to stay with my girlfriend and have been coming here for years, the last 18 months it has gone down considerably, the food service (or lack of it due to time taken to serve it!) is the worst I have ever seen, several times we have had to wait 45 mins to an hour and a half, for aimple meal in a quietish pub, lunchtime, the toilets are filthy too, and a local told me there are people complaining all the time, come on landlord/landlady, get this pub back on track! suzyb - 31 Mar 2008 15:38 |
