| Pre-refurbishment, the sofa spring stabbed me ! :) Post-refurbishment, this establishment is a place I could take my Mum to [, if she drank]. The staff are friendly, the facilities are OK and the customers are also friendly and chatty. I have to add, that as an ale drinker my real reason to use The Trades is because they sell Amstel which I'm quite particular to. Their Friday and Saturday late opening is a relief for those of us who finish work late and I've very pleased to write that there has never been *any* trouble since I've started venturing into the place since 2010/2011. I rate this pub 8/10 and hope they continue doing things as they are. halfpint_dom - 20 Apr 2012 15:22 |
| Passing_By is right about this one. Great atmosphere during the England-Germany match (not the pub's fault about the result!). There were also burgers, hot dogs and chips available. gypsygrrl - 6 Jul 2010 21:06 |
| Excellent pub which is the best place for watching sport on the TV. Passing_By - 25 Jun 2010 22:29 |
| Kudos to the not-so-new-anymore Landlady for really turning this place around! She's thoroughly cleaned up the pub and its reputation. The Trades is the Local that we use most regularly now. In no way does it deserve the low rating that it has on Beer in the Evening. She had it redecorated some time ago and the place looks and functions terrifically. The atmosphere is friendly and lively at times - it's a good community pub. I am very pleased that real ale / guest ale is on offer now, even if it tends to be from the larger breweries. The refit has given a nod to Farnborough's local history too - there are several old aircraft/airfield photos up on the walls - a nice touch, I thought. The Sky screens, sport on offer, darts and pool table guarantees entertainment and activity if you want it - and if you don't want, there's never any trouble having a quiet pint too. The patio area is clean & well-kept and there's ample parking. All-in-all a very strong Local. The only thing left that could improve the Trades is if there was food on offer. This is not a criticism, however, because you can't have everything, and I understand that serving food is expensive and probably not hassle-free. The Landlady and Staff deserve a lot of credit and positivity for resurrecting the Tradesman's Arms back into the world of Great Locals. gypsygrrl - 2 Apr 2010 13:17 |
| Still enjoying The Tradesmans Arms after the refit. Much more comfortable, clean place with comfy leather booths plus the soft chairs and tables in front of the large plasma TV. Shows all sports events which adds to the atmosphere. Clever smoking area out the back for those who like a "ciggy". Nice friendly crowds being pulled in and especially by entertainment like Live Bands, karaoke and discos most weekends. Liked the idea they have of FREE juke box when no entertainment takes place :-) Much more friendlier pub still serving great beer and now ales. Agree with Neillysane... the rating should be higher now. Well worth a visit if in the area. madslover - 13 Oct 2009 22:09 |
