| Taken on its own merits - actually not that bad. The ale selection is often interesting (good to see Ringwood get a run-out), and the building itself is impressive. The 'study area' at the back is also a good touch - complete with a choice of old books to not read. Problem is you have 17 ales to choose from across the road, or a better 'big' place in the adjacent street. That isn't Bennetts' fault, but against that competition it doesn't stand much of a chance getsit - 15 Nov 2009 17:12 |
| I like this pub, I'll say that straight off the bat. Its one of three great pubs within 30 seconds of each other. I've always found the beer and the service to be very good. The decor is impressive but starting to show its age now, the painting on the huge back wall is starting to peel and in my honest opinion looked pretty rough even when it was in mint condition. As mentioned by others its very spacious, I get the impression the management don't know what to do with all the space as it can feel abit "empty" even when its packed full of people drinking and enjoying themselves, I personally prefer a cosy feel to a pub rather than open and airy. The beer has always been great when I've drank here, its great to see a pub with Hobgoblin as a house beer. They also sell Desperados which is a cracking bottled lager flavoured with tequila, great stuff. One thing to mention is price I think it is rather expensive in here for both food and drink, I think this could be the reason why Bennetts is nearly always void of customers. Saying that it doesnt put me off at all, I enjoy the beer here even more so when I'm with good company. Oh yeah, if you even wanted to be on The Crystal Maze just visit the toilets. thatchrisdude - 30 Aug 2009 12:45 |
| Impressive building that gives way to bank-conversion grandeur within. It's a bit too airy for some, but not without character- huge artwork on the walls! Marstons/Wychwood range of beers, Hobgoblin was in fine form. Quite quiet on a Monday so atmosphere lacking a bit, although this probably changes at the weekend. Not bad but not a must, particularly with the Wellington across the road. Carlurmston - 1 Jul 2009 12:47 |
| Not the greatest of pubs. Service slow at lunchtime... just another Marstons wreck leicester_pubster - 5 Feb 2009 22:52 |
| Late review from October when I had a Jennings seasonal. Very impressive interior but empty of drinkers. gillhalfpint - 17 Jan 2009 11:33 |
