| In keeping with the 100th anniversary,they had loads of Titanic beers on sale so we were well pleased! It was busy with every table taken and drinkers standing in the main bar and outside but no hassle and a good atmosphere. It does have an eclectic feel to it(try getting into the Gents toilet for example). Very handy for the IOW ferry and the football bus (they use old double deckers which I think are ex.London Transport?) It is a very individual type of pub but every time we have been there it has been good and is just far enough away from the main city centre "venue bars" so that type of clientele doesn't get here. It's a booozer for real ale fans - simples!! mcroyal - 15 Apr 2012 11:14 |
| Decent pub opposite the Town Quay, decor is a bit eccentric, beer ok, from their own brewery on site, Dancing Man. Hodge1 - 5 Mar 2012 16:39 |
| Something of an oasis in the corporate-samefest that is the profit-maker's paradise, Britain. This joint is, dare one say it, individual in its decor and its internal style and is relaxed and casual. Some effort has been made with the image and its not just hackneyed horse brasses and the usual British pub pap. On top of this, music is often provided that is somewhat (dare I say it) leftfield of the tiresome mustang sally bands that tend to frequent british pubs. Then, most rewarding of all....most british pubs strike fear of disappoinment and mediocrity into your heart and wallet, but the food here is very good indeed, individual, freshly prepared and not the usual chilli and lasagne claptrap. Some real thought has gone into this place and it is a pleasure to hang out in there- oh- beer is also pretty good too with about 4 changing on the pumps....well done platform tavern- britain is not quite finished yet... an outstanding 8/10 from alezilla, the soothsayer... alezilla - 29 Jan 2012 21:47 |
| Disappointigly few ales on. Hammperpot brews being the only non-standard alternative. the Sussex one and Medj whatever gold the others had were both poor pints. The decor was a bit ragarse pub versus Tunisienne brothel. Have absolutely no idea why this pub is so highly rated. Snarling_Mallard - 21 May 2011 23:38 |
| apparantly a freehouse however the large choice of Greene king ale's made one think otherwise,opted for the Greene king 'ale pril fool" which was dire,the place is cask marque but with ales from gk only on that phrase "you cannot polish a turd" spring to mind,£6.20 for two pints 6/10 fat_beer_badger - 24 Apr 2011 13:59 |
