| Visited on Boxing Day. Double Chocolate stout was on good form. Well worth a visit. founddrunkinyourgarden - 29 Dec 2011 16:49 |
| Very friendly barman. Offered a free sample of Manchester Bitter. Lovely pint. Average glass of muscat white wine dave288 - 26 Sep 2010 20:25 |
| I was surprised to find that I haven’t commented on this pub before, so here goes. First of all I have to admit, I’d better be careful what I say because I am known there, and it’s the nearest I come to being a regular – I go about once a month. Anyway, I think what I like about it most is its slightly down at heel quirkiness. You enter via a downwards sloping corridor turn right through another door and you’re in the middle of the pub. This is because the ground floor is about three feet below street level (indicating antiquity ?), so if you sit in the seats by the front window, you have a great view outside of people’s feet ! Apart from the main area leading to the bar, there are all sorts of nooks and crannies with a table or two – I’m not sure I’ve discovered them all yet ! I think my favourite is the raised area to the left of the bar underneath a skylight. Also notice, right next to the bar is a single-seat high backed settle. You may well also notice the “oldest inhabitant” setting there, holding forth with his pint of Guinness. Family folklore has it that when the pub was redecorated, that couldn’t get to redevelop that bit because he was always sitting there ! [ There is also a small “beer garden” out the back] There are always 4 beers available, two being Hydes Original and Jekylls Gold. The other two are guests – one of which is always from Allgates. Quality is reasonable – I’ve never had a bad pint there yet. Food is served lunchtimes – pretty much of the standard “pub grub” type. But the quality is excellent and the portions ample. There are occasional special events. There is live music about one evening a month (I’ve never been), a beer festival is currently advertised for September, and once (on a bank holiday) we arrived at lunchtime to find the place hosting a poker tournament !! Not sure whether to rate it 6 or 7 – if I say 7 perhaps I’ll get a free pint !!! Martinsh - 16 Jul 2010 23:16 |
| The Vine Inn is another attractive looking black-and-white pub situated close to the town centre. The exterior says that the pub dates back to "circa 1641". It's larger than it looks from the outside as it extends back quite a long way inside. Although there's oak beams, low ceilings and different drinking areas, it's been modernised a bit and this, coupled with the presence of fruit machines and a TV, give the pub something of a typical town centre pubco outlet feel to it. It's a Hydes pub which, on my recent evening visit, was offering Jekylls Gold and Original from the Hydes range. Also on were Ruddles Best and a beer from Allgates. Hydes have never struck me as being particularly distinctive beers and my pint of Original did nothing to dispel this view. Taking everything into account, I'd be inclined to give this one a miss next time. JohnBonser - 24 May 2010 18:09 |
| Good vibe about this pub. Real fire, real ale (Hydes), real people. Had a pint of hydes, which to be fair isn't my favourite beer, but it was well kept. topofhehops - 17 Mar 2010 02:54 |
