This place doesn't know whether it wants to be a wine bar or a pub. Adnams was the only ale on, had to ask for every pint served to be topped up. Toilets were flooded and had to walk out holding the wall to avoid slipping on the bar floor. won't be rushing back

couple of ales, very average, loads of braying office types, load music (wouldnt be so bad if the sound system was half decent) one to avoid unless desparate

A good second choice pub should your first choice be unexpectedly overrun by eejits. A couple of interesting ales plus one or two interesting lagers. Seating isn't too bad at all and the food at least smells very nice.

The Gate is a pretty good pub, which has enough charm to paper over the cracks. In fact, I remember the crazy days of its "pound a pint night" on a Tuesday, which soon stopped after attracting lots of kiddie-winkies (as in young studenty-types, not actual children).

Not a great selection of beers, but they usually have an ale or two on, plus Bitburger was a nice alternative to the clichéd lagers.

The food, and wait time, can be quite poor so I always stuck to the burgers, which were cheap, good enough and processed fairly speedily.

The aircon would often be too high in the summer, making it freezing cold, but for a couple of pints after work or a cheap and cheerful lunch, this is up to the mark.

Friendly atmosphere but do not try and order the food! I have waited up to an hour for a meal on a quiet date and it has not been worth the wait!
