| In reply to Bob Larkins comments about The White Elephant, I would like to comment on the incident which involved the Manager escorting the "middle aged woman" from the premises. What Mr Larkin did not see that evening was the lady in question randomly assaulting another guest with a pool cue, and the threats of violence she displayed towards other guests out in the beer garden, team members and the Manager. I am sure that if Mr Larkin was on the receiving end of her abusive comments or was the subject of an assualt a very different post would have been put on this website, and maybe a little praise for the manager for removing her for the safety of all the other customers, staff and herself. shellyandjay - 19 Sep 2010 13:44 |
| Interesting evening recently. There were 5 fairly varied real ales on. On asking about one the young new barman said something about "the barrel being a bit off" or suchlike and warned me off it. I suggested in that case the clip ought to be turned round, but no. I must have been lucky, the next punter might have got some dodgy beer. A bit later the pony-tailed landlord manhandled a middle-aged woman from the rather empty pub (I don't know what her crime was, she must have been out in the garden). As a layman I would have thought his actions would amount to assault. Five minutes later a cop appeared to see what had happened. Then another. Then they both left. Yes, you never know what surprises a visit to the White Elephant will bring. boblarkin - 15 Aug 2010 13:30 |
| I quite like this pub, but it can change a lot from day to day. Fortunately it is quite big so you can escape from karioke even if it means going out into garden. Usually have real ales on, vary in number. I've been there with just 2 on, but both dark beers which are not to everybody's taste. Can't comment on the food, but pizzas seem to be the big thing. boblarkin - 20 Sep 2009 22:38 |
| oh my god, ok it's monday, you can anticipate it to being a quiet one...however my baby had more energy in her little finger in comparison to the women serving. she was miserable and uninviting. my partner and I were visiting friends, stopped for lunch, to find a poorly maintained bar, with uninterested staff. The coke was flat, not a single menu to be found and eventhough we checked initially whether they were serving...she said yea but still no menu's!!! What ever happened to this place..it used to be the place to be..busy and buzzing...what a shame, when its such a beautiful building and great location.. dani79 - 14 Sep 2009 23:38 |
| MTaylor40 has summed this up quite well. It's a big estate pub (aptly named on first impression), with local support, lots of $ky TV screens, pool tables, acade type machines... oh and Northamptonshire skittles. However, the locals were friendly and welcoming and there was a good range of beer from smaller, lesser known breweries. We were very tempted to stay there rather than go to Sickfields and watch the football in the cold (a good away win made it worthwhile though). Rod_Hariga - 5 Dec 2008 19:21 |
