| Not a bad pub, I stayed in it for a few days, beer seemed well kept, food poor however (fish pie advertised as containing prawns, but in their absence, egg was the replacement!). Agree that Turks Head or Admiral Benbow have more atmosphere, but this one is pretty convenient for the station. jfrebrycn - 1 Mar 2011 18:42 |
| Large pub near the railway station. 5 fairly standard ales on on Monday - I tried the Doombar which was far too cold. Empty at 1700 and very little atmosphere. Might be better in the evening but I'm in no hurry to find out. cheshirecat - 30 Dec 2009 13:12 |
| I am totally surprised by the previous comment about this pub. I was in there this morning as well. I found it ok. I didn't drink a pint of ale, had a pint of Guinness, and it was excellent. It is a very big pub and at about 10.45am I wouldn't have expected this pub to have an atmosphere as it wasn't very busy..probably something to do with the fact that not a lot of people drink in the morning. The pub is very oldy worldy, mainly wood. I believe they have rooms above which are really nice. I have been here before and always found the staff ok. I don't understand the previous comment about the ales having ice crystals, I found it quite comfortable. Mole1 - 18 Aug 2009 22:56 |
| Good size pub with some sort of atmosphere vacuum in operation. I've never had an iced real ale before (the ice crystals were still floating as a questionable replacement for that brief foamy head), and I will hopefully not repeat the experience. One member of staff (in massive pub - we should have heeded the warning sign and gone elsewhere) was sullen and sneery, which is ill-advised behaviour for a crap barman in a crap pub in a crap area of a nice town full of pubs. Not even worth it for a quick check on Sky Sports News. saido - 18 Aug 2009 11:00 |
| This is probably the largest pub in town with an expanded interior that seems to stretch all the way to Lands End. The low ceilings throughout give it a bit of a claustrophobic feel and its open plan set upmeans there is little in the way of intimacy. Wood feateres predominantly throughout which does make for a fairly old world feel although I would hazard a guess that the interior is a fairly modern refurbishment. Beers are mainly Greene King with 3 pumps bearing Speckled Hen clips, and 1 each of Ruddles County and Doom Bar (which was unavailable despite the clip not being reversed). I didn’t recall it being particularly expensive and the quality was fine to me. There are multiple screens, mainly for sport and a separate pool room at the rear. Various forms of entertainment from the good to the bad are advertised on a board outside. A separate dining room is also located at the side in the front of the pub. Before we visited we had walked past a few times and it was never even close to being busy which measna distinct lack of atmosphere in such a vast place which is a shame because it really isn’t such a bad place and certainly worth popping in for a couple of pints.
