Pleasant enough place, although a little crowded and awkward to move around in on a Saturday evening. One fairly small bar serving a number of other rooms. I'm not sure who the loud music in the bar, which made communicating with the bar staff a challenge, was supposed to benefit - the staff seemed to enjoy it though. Well kept beer.

Good pub but not totally convinced about all the Guy Fawkes stuff but it keeps the tourists amused. Good beer but can be a bit of a lottery as to what is on. Not impressed with the menu on a recent visit or the service, but still worth popping in.

Me and some friends were quite impressed with this place when it reopened a couple of years ago.
Too be fair, it's an interesting place and the food is good.
However we have since crossed it off our list, because we are fed up with the very slow service, and the fact that several beers always seem to be off when we go. The last time we went in it took us 15 mins to get the 1st pint and 15 to get the 2nd. The barman didn't take note of whose turn it was, and when we commented seemed to ignore us even more. We havn't been in since, (this was in March 2011), and don't intend to.
Also the prices are very expensive, for what we thought was fairly mediocre swill. We think all this real ale stuff is overated, but that's our personal choice.
Also the Gent's toilet is far too small for a pub of that size.
Perhaps they were just having a bad day.
The Lamb and Lion near Monk Bar was done up at the same time as this place by the same company, (which subsequently went bust), but is much more organised and well run.

Visited recently and not a bad pub at all. I went to the first bar on the left on entering. Small area with a nice bunch of people. Plenty of newspapers were provided to idle away the hours. Comedy duo serving at the bar, friendly efficient service. Deep fried parsnip chips at the bar freshly cooked and very nice. Seemed to be doing a good trade in food although I did not dine. Had two pints of well kept ale. About six ales on tap with some local and unusual flavours. Would definately recommend this pub.
