Reading all the previous reviews, I must admit I'm at a complete loss as to how people are rating pubs.
I can only assume the most of the reviews for the Cheshire Cheese have been submitted by American tourists.

The Cheshire Cheese, is to be honest one giant tourist trap.
The Beer - Sam smiths is vile, although very cheap.
The atmosphere is non existent, it may well be one of the oldest pubs but it's sub-divided that you may as well be sat in a very dark and dingy harvester restaurant.

It's definitely a 'traditional british pub' if you're a tourist, I guess it
fits the stereotype.

But come on?
- No proper real ales - Sam Smith's ales / lagers are bl**dy awful
- No Landlord .... the landlord is the heart and soul of any proper
boozer, just a load of students of varying nationality behind the
bar.

In my mind, if Disney were to open a theme park with a 'traditional British pub' then the Cheshire Cheese would be the result.

Nice pub, a bit small, but an interesting curiosity.

Not for the faint hearted, a pub with loads of character, history and dust. Hidden away but a little treasure, good cider snd stout from the Smith's brewery

Excellent pub with a great history and lots of character. The dark little rooms, real fires, and of course, the sawdust, all make for a pleasing and cosy atmosphere. The staff were cheerful and welcoming, and the beers good. Nice clean loos too!

Wow! This place reminds me of McSorleys Old Ale House in New York....its very dark, very small with lots of little dark rooms, really cool place - sawdust on the floor........got served immediately - loved the history of the place - went on a lunchtime Friday so upstairs and "restaurant" section were seemingly shut - but very interesting - will def go again.
