| Now called STARS BAR, it has set it's sights on being a venue for pre-pubescent boys and girls. lots of noise! triumphman - 28 Oct 2011 13:18 |
| This place is a disgrace! Me and two friends decided to pop in on a friday afternoon; there were only two others in the pub but none of the bar staff came across to serve us. We had to ask to be served and the young ladt behind the bar raised her hands in the air and declared that she wasn't old enough to serve us. The 'landlord' was having a chat with the other two guests and basically ignored us. We decided to leave without having a drink. The pub is a joke - I will never return.

| A year is a long time in the pub trade, and could this now be the vintage one that The Grapes was crying out for? The whole place has changed in the last 12 months since my last visit; it’s cleaner, the beer’s better the staff are very good and it now has a landlord (manager) that actually wants people to come in, have a drink and have a good time. There seems to be more organisation there now and more reasons to return. I was in there on Saturday from early afternoon to early evening enjoying the ’12 Bands in 12 Hours’ marathon that was organised, whilst enjoying good company and reasonably priced beer. It was a courageous event to go with considering the times we live in; and for all involved, I hope it reaps rewards. In my opinion, and all things considered, The Grapes has become a very agreeable stomping ground. InnCheck - 27 Aug 2009 20:37 |
| Absolute crap! Myskolive - 10 Dec 2008 22:19 |
| If the Beijing Olympics capture your imagination this summer and you are able to catch a glimpse of the pool events, you will not see a bigger dive than this place. It looked like a student bar without the education, with surly youths swaggering around the empty shell of a former great pub. Once frequented by working farmers from the market, it appears they have long since gone, but the livestock have returned. I would never criticise bar staff who are up against it, but all I can say is The Bates Motel had better customer service practices in place than what was on offer here. After managing to peel my arm off the sticky bar, I was able to hand the barkeep my note. Unfortunately it was bank note rather than my preferred sick note excusing me from any future visits. On receiving my handful of shrapnel, I was rewarded with two flat pints that I can only assume thought they were going to a fancy dress party on Shrove Tuesday. The welcoming, and leaving committee were fallen idles, littering the pavement wondering, 'Where am I?', 'What am I doing here?' and to be honest, the same interrogation was going through my own mind as well. All in all, this place should be avoided. It has all the worldly charm and charisma that would probably make Ken Dodd feel depressed. The Samaritans are only a phone call away; a taxi rank is even closer. A Shame really, as this has gone from a very decent pub to a descent pub. Hail the credit crunch and put this place out to pasture for a year, for these Grapes have become very sour. InnCheck - 9 Aug 2008 12:18 |
