Finally got the chance to give this place a proper try and wasn't disappointed. Booked in for Sunday lunch - the usual fairly extensive menu is replaced by some superb roasts with all the trimmings. Beer on this occassion was either No1 or Kings, the former slid down a treat. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient and the surroundings light, airy and welcoming. Altogether a great experience which I certainly intend to repeat.

Went in here for the first time in ages recently and it has had the trendy street corner pub makeover which has worked very well here. The atmosphere was very convivial, the bar staff attentive - it was clean. Would welcome this as a local if I lived there and will certainly pop in again when I'm in the area.

Wow, I'm amazed that this place hasn't had got anything on here more recent that last year. This is a great pub, I've been going to it since it changed hands. The bar staff are always friendly and welcoming, good range of beers and the sausage and mash selection is the best I've seen. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.

Haven't been in since it was the Rutland but certainly intend to go again. The Sussex Giant was a treat although a couple of degrees colder would have made it perfect. Didn't eat but the Sunday roasts looked pretty good. Wondered why they chose the name until we realised it is actually on the corner of Coleridge Street - get it. All right please yourselves.

Visited today and was pleased to see two Darkstar beers on tap as guest ales (Hophead and Festival). The first decent ales I have seen in this pub and such practice could make the place great. Interesting to see what they plump for for as the next guest (please no more Red River!). Now summer is on the horizon, sitting outside with a great pint would make the Mariner really special, however inside remains dominated by loud music in the evening, and a couple of chunky sofas which take up a lot of space mean that tables and chairs are in short supply at busy times.

Food is still good, however the menu remains pretty much unchanged and specials lack creativity.
