| A really historic pub that is going to waste. The Oak bar is drab, dark and empty and the beer is well below average. This is totally in contrast to the rest of the hotel which is excellent With some work this pub could be a gold mine. catador - 30 May 2008 12:41 |
| This large 16th Century hotel in the heart of this historic town is very impressive from the outside with its timber frame and latticed windows. It has been an Ale House since 1640 but has obviously been extended over the years. The main bar (the Oak Bar to give it the correct title) is off to the right before you get to the reception and I have to say is really disappointing given the rest of the building. The bar is oak paneled (hence the name) with a wonderful large brick fireplace but this is ruined by a TV screen sitting beside it. There appears to have been a large amount of interior renovation – many of the beams / pillars etc appear to be a fairly modern addition albeit done in sympathy with the traditional framework. The carpet is a very modern style pub carpet where bare wood or an extension of the flag-stones that surround the bar area would have given the place a more authentic feel. The plasma screen is fairly prominent and is not in keeping with the building. Only one Real Ale, a rather uninteresting Bass although there was another hand pump that was redundant. Service was not great – they did not have enough change for a £20 note despite this being a sizeable and historic hotel. The bar itself was virtually dead when we were there. The piped music was on a par with elevator music and casio ringtones – enough to drive out the most loyal of customers. Despite its shortcomings, it is worth a visit, even if only to have a wander around the opulent reception area with its comfy lounge and servants bells. Such a shame as this could be so much more without too much effort. RogerB - 8 Dec 2006 15:52 |
| Used to be a cool place to go. Bar is tiny but the beer is ok. Now it's not the place for "the kool kids", you can get a seat and breathe as it isn't too smokey. Would be better if they opened the bigger bar at the back. Staff are so-so. There is a garden which, when open, is great. anonymous - 3 Oct 2006 16:33 |
