| A good afternoon visit provided 4 good quality ales including westerhams 1965 and incubus from hopdaemon. friendly regulars and staff make for a pleasant time with one of the most varied jukeboxs around! phead1986 - 31 Jan 2011 15:40 |
| Went in the bar last night at 8pm and it was baking hot. No ventilation at all. Took my beer into the tiny back yard but gave up trying to have a conversation as the nearby group of yoofs chose to shout at each other rather than talk sensibly. Finished the beer up rather quickly and went around the corner to the Fisherman's Arms. Paul_Rochdale - 29 Apr 2010 14:12 |

| Been there tonight for the first time, beer was excellent and the hospitality even better. My comment to alehead is that everybody gets a bad beer sometimes, this is usually solved quite easliy by telling the staff by, at which point they will replace your bad beer with a good one. And as per the uncleanliness, I saw nothing wrong with the pub, its an incredible building and belongs the eay it is. phead1986 - 12 Oct 2009 00:47 |
| OH dear!!! I had high hopes for this quirky little pub after my last visit where i was pleasantly surprised to find Real Ale and Real Cider now available and in good condition as well, if a tad too warm! But on this visit i was bitterly disappointed, OK, still has 4 ales on but the quality was well below average. I had Masterbrew which was slightly hazy and warm but I did not let that put me off, it was the taste that i could not stand, I don't know how to describe it really other than it reminded me of rancid cheese, HORRID!!!! next was a pint by the Nelson brewery, cant remember what it was called now but it looked like a pint of custard in my glass it was so cloudy and the taste was pure yeast!! the guy who was serving did not seem to know what the problem was and was more interested in yawning and explaining that he only has 2 hours of his shift left!!!! Food is now available but have not tried it. As reported before, the whole place is in need of a good clean up I'm not sure if they have ever heard of a vacuum cleaner or polish!! Please don't let your promising start into the world of real ale end up with the quality i had today??? alehead1 - 26 Sep 2009 15:27 |
