Saw this pub listed in the 2012 Good Beer Guide and saw that it was open on a Saturday. So I tore myself away from the excellent selection in the Craft to try it out. 4 ales were on - Keltec Magic, Brains SA, Crouch Vale Brewers Gold & Trumans Runner. Cider was Orchard Pig. The barstaff immediately acknowledged me and asked if they could help. I said I wanted to see what they were serving first. But they soon told me they were closed for a private function. Looked promising and they were also advertising a beer festival for next weekend. I will probably return. But for now I can only rate this a 1/10, as a public house had turned into a private house. 1 point for the promise.

I took a friend here off the back of some good reviews. Not what I expected. Here's what you need to know.

- Four pounds and forty pence for a bottle of Brooklyn IPA.
- Eurotrash dance music on the stereo.
- Four pounds and forty pence for a bottle of Brooklyn IPA.

The clientele seemed to be a mix of tourists and suits-just-finished-work.

A big fat fucking zero.

I came to this pub with my dad tonight, as I'd heard lots of good things. We were put off by the attitude of the lady behind the bar. For some reason she seemed quite unwelcoming and dismissive, telling us there was just one table free, and pointing in a vague direction.

The pub was quite empty, but we were there quite early (7:30pm), so it could be that there were reservations for a later time. That's fine - we were just taken by surprise with her behaviour, and not fancying an evening of that, decided to go on to another gastro pub, which was very nice!

Maybe I'll try another time - the ale selection looks good :-)

The Beef and ale pie was nicely cooked and the Saltaire beer they had on was in top condition. Great place to take the wife or anyone else for that matter.

This pub is a must! Excellent bar staff, friendy and great service. Good range of ever changing guest ales with Crouch Vale's Brewers gold a regular and tasting very good. I would recommend this pub as friendy, great service and great beer
