| A large and spacious pub near the arches, this was a Hogshead in a former life and bizarrely there is still a blackboard sat up on a shelf that says “Welcome to the Hogshead”. It’s got quite a contemporary feel to it with it’s chocolate brown and cream paintwork and has the appearance of being part of a big chain, presumably Greene King going on the beer selection. The central area has wood flooring, and there is a smaller carpeted area up a couple of steps to the left and this has some cream wood panelling on the walls. Elsewhere is some exposed brick work and there is a pool table at the rear. Various plasma screens are dotted around. Food menu looked to be extensive, and appears to be your typical mass produced pub grub. A curry smell permutated the pub on a recent Thursday evening visit, no doubt due to their Curry and a pint deal for £4.99. Most of the mains were around the £6 mark, and a blackboard listed various “Pub classics” such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Gammon & Egg, Fish & Chips, Roast Beef, lasagne, etc. Beers on tap were Abbott Ale, Ruddles County, Bath’s Barnsey, GK IPA and GK Libertine. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold, Stowford Press and Lilley’s Apple & Pear. Blackthorn - 20 Apr 2012 16:23 |

| We tried the Bishops for lunch and had a bad experience. We will not return. The place is less than clean, the food poor and the staff disrespectful. coriolis - 8 Jan 2011 04:46 |
| A soulless cavernous place - decor from Pubs R Us - with usual suspects ales on offer - G King, Abbot, Speckled Hen. The G King IPA served flat and far too cold. A place in need of a toilet cleaning rota as the gents had unflushed kazi's with evidence of unmissed targets covering the floor. And the place was nearly empty. A pub for people who don't like pubs. A Wetherspoons without the atmosphere. Appalling. Dandillus - 12 Oct 2009 18:36 |
