please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Hello!

We'd like to introduce ourselves as the new Landlord and Landlady of The Montreal Arms.

We're pleased to say after our efforts over the past few weeks since taking it over the owner has now taken it off the market!!

We are doing as much as we can for this place as it's a beautiful, local, character pub - one of the last remaining few in the area.

Every Saturday between 10am and 2pm we are now doing 'The Full Mont' breakfast (it's huge but I'm not telling you what you'll get you'll have to pop in and see for yourself) ;P Oh and Salivdor don't forget we've got your special food in :)

On Mondays' from 7pm we will be holding a 'Wii Night' Doesn't cost anything but we will have a charity pot ont he side for any donations (we'll be varying the charity from month to month if you have a preference on charity please let us know)

We noticed the grime also, when we first came and have been cleaning since we walked through the door.

When you come in we hope you notice our smiley happy faces and fun attitude!

There will be more changes coming soon to bring this pub back to life.

We have seen some more new faces come in and we'd like to see your return, just pop in and see us, go on just for the one...maybe two...

Our dear old Mont is in need of some tender loving care. Why is it being left to rot? I agree with Salvador that it has got cleaner in recent weeks but surely someone loves it enough to bring it back to its former glory. The owner has it up for sale and has just reduced the price again for a quick sale. It has always been a traditional locals pub, and it should be kept this way. We don't need it to change we just need it to be loved!!!

Hello. I thought it was time a gave you an update on the Sticky Mont... I have to admit the old girl has got a bit cleaner - this is down to Georgia the new Mrs. Mopp (and she really is Mrs. Mopp cos her husband is Moppy).

However, a great big lump of masonary fell off the back wall a few months ago, narrowly missing Alfie who was out there rolling a fag. It brought back memories of New Year's Eve 2005 when half the ceiling in the bar fell on us and in our beer.

Then one of the canopies fell off the front window onto a parked car; the canopy is now recouperating in the beer "garden" along with an old toilet - choice!

The good Lord has called time on a couple of the old regulars, but they have been replaced with would-be bullsh**-meisters off our very long waiting list.

We seem to be getting more than our fair share of nutters - there's a pub on every corner around the Mont but these numbnuts seem to gravitate to our little haven in their droves - why?

Also, of late, there appears to be someone with a severe bowel condition which requires serious, urgent medical attention - last Sunday the gentlemen's-excuse-me looked as though someone had filled it to the brim with oxtail soup and then thrown melted chocolate and Marmite at it - I have photographic evidence if required.

So pretty much of a muchness - y'all come back now!

This is a glorious khazi of a pub. It is a gentleman's refuge from the up it's own a**e world which is edging ever closer to our dear old Mont.

The decor can only be described as "sticky"; the bar is sticky, the tables are sticky, the door handles are sticky ... (you get the idea "sticky").

The locals are a mixed bunch of weather-beaten Stella and Guiness drinkers who revel in the mire of a pub they have chosen to call 'home'. They are friendly, but if you wish to mingle in and join the undead you must be fluent in talking sh**t. The landlady is an enthusiastic bundle of energy who's voice could out-decibel a 747.

P.s. The landlord with the shorts has gravitated down the grimy hill to The Albion.
