| This pub is such a disappointment. Characterless, usually only one ale pump working out of three, it feels unloved by the people who run it. The last two times I went there (with people from work, not through choice) I had to wait almost ten minutes to be served, the first time because the barman was having some kind of crisis and kept having to check his phone and run outside, the second because it was early-ish Friday evening, and hence all three bars were fairly full, yet there was only one member of staff on. If you care for all the elements that make up a good pub: a choice of good ale, friendly efficient bar staff and a feeling that the people who run it actually care about more than just taking your money, then don't bother. melita666 - 26 Nov 2009 13:54 |
| Dived in here a couple of Saturdays ago and found it reasonably quiet (it was early-ish though and perhaps custom is greater during the week?). It was a pleasant enough boozer; clean, neutral decor. Appeared to be trying to appeal to a broad cross-section of punters, although all in attendance on this occasion were under 30. All this did not make for an especially memorable or engaging atmosphere. I should say the service was efficient and pleasant - a friendly welcome is far from assured in many pubs nowadays - and the ale was kept well. That said I was only in for a quick 'alf and in any event, there was only one active pump when I was there (Spitfire). I'd say they could do better on that front, but maybe the average customer here does not favour the real stuff (judging by the comments below extolling Oranjeboom and Asahi I fear this is the case). It isn't worth getting more ale in if it won't turn over. All in all, an average experience, but perhaps a longer visit on a busier night, with one or two more ales to choose from, and I might be tempted back. Trouble is, for the likes of me this is just too close to the Star and the Nelson, and would have to be exceptional for it to feature in the running with such illustrious competition!

| I love this place, here everyday after an early shift. The barmaids are beautiful and the barman is a legend! Only place i have been able to find Asahi on tap. Have spent many hours in this pub and plan to spend many more. Keep it up guys n gals. mrPotter - 8 Aug 2008 09:18 |
| Nice chilled out atmosphere with a great range of beers (where else in the locality can you get Oranjeboom on tap?). Perfect for a pint or two after the commute home! Mattyer78 - 20 Apr 2008 22:58 |
| Very shiny and new looking. Beer okay but £11 for a burger! Hancock - 9 Jan 2008 02:31 |
