| Another enjoyable early evening spent with friends round a table with an excellent selection of ales to choose from. All in brilliant condition and promptly served. Also enjoy the anticipation of waiting to see what is to come on by watching the beer list on the screen when one of the beers is finished. gillhalfpint - 2 Apr 2008 14:23 |
| Made my much-delayed debut here yesterday.... It doesn't matter that the seating areas are squeezed into near-alcoves meaning too many people are left standing by the bar, making geting served overly difficult. It doesn't matter the barspeople (at least on my visit) seemed to lock all patrons with an icy and unwelcoming glare. It doesn't matter the whole place looks like it's on the verge of crumbling in on itself(especially the tables) Why do these things not matter? Because this place is solely, utterly and entirely About The Ale It Serves.What a rarity that is in today's Day-glo Two For One/chemical poison world. Unlike many comments here, I found the ale to be lovingly kept and delivered too. Especially given its city centre location, what an absolute treat getsit - 30 Mar 2008 14:29 |
| Great selection of beers, never had a bad one... Nice and sociable in the evenings (but can be edging on dull during the day). OJS or Welly? No contest. pendragon - 25 Mar 2008 21:13 |
| I wouldn't say the welly takes itself seriously, it's all 11 types of ace! I've always had a right laugh in here,alright, one barman is a bit moosy, but Nige and Dave are ace blokes, as is the lady (sorry, i don't recall your name) Welly the cat is moody, but he pulls it off with style. Top banana! Best city centre pub by faaaaaaaar! jackd77 - 25 Mar 2008 13:45 |
