In search of a change from our regular pub, I scoured this site and chose the Roebuck based on its 8.3 rating and reviews - which have clearly been written by the pub, unless your idea of a good night includes:

- empty on a saturday night except for 3 people at the end of the bar, and a family (including at least 4 small children) which grew during the evening

- the decor of a uninhabited travelodge tea-room (with a touch of The Shining), plus a couple of welcoming England flags here and there

- bright overhead lighting throughout

- video screen playing 80s hits, otherwise blissful silence bar the kids

- last orders at 10.30, asked to drink up 15 minutes later ("just waiting for you now yeah?")

- the warm feeling of trespassing in someone else's house

It's a must for those with the right sense of humour. Also very clean.

Great little pub, currently closed for one week under going refurbishment and re-opening on November 2nd. Karaoke on a Friday night, which is always fun. Clean, lively, friendly, I would hihgly recommend the Roebuck to anyone on all fronts - food, drink, facilities and atmosphere.

Really friendly pub, set back from the busy Oval area. Lovely little beer garden which on a sunny day is a wonderful little oasis.

The staff are always really friendly and chilled. Superb quiz machine too.

I've been there on quite a few occasions and always had a really enjoyable evening, have even attempted a very drunken karaoke -I apologise to anyone who had to witness that!

I'll be going back again.

Heard about this site from a friend, just got to say this is my local, I love the place, had a great Christmas Eve, loved watching the cat in the Christmas tree. Enjoyed new years, everyone was so nice. Best wishes to all users and staff for 2007

I went in on a quiet weekday afternoon after a county match. It's a pretty big place, the staff are friendly, the beer is OK and it's a short walk from the Oval. It's not a pub for the real ale fanatic or the gastropub-trendy set, but it's a good backstreet boozer.
