Big corner pub, that on the inside was a very spit and sawdust kind of place, playing music on bit on the loud side to be honest.

Basic 4 tap kind of place with not real ale, saved by the fact that at least they served Banks's MILD smooth.

Again, its just a run of the mill kind of place, that with so many better places, you perhaps wouldn't bother with. People and staff were friendly enough and it had definately improved from the last time i visited a few years back.

This pub is nowhere near as bad as it's been painted by previous reviews. It hasn't been reviewed for 2 years so there must have been quite a few changes. Has 3 handpumps on the bar but only Taylors Landlord was actually on. Not the best pint of Landlord I've ever tasted, but quite acceptable. Landlord is renowned for not travelling too well anyway. Walls have black & white pictures of rock stars/bands on them, which works well. Still a bit shabby but has had some TLC recently, new carpet or no carpet should be the next thing on the list. Someone is trying here to bring this place back to life. Give them some support.

Rough as a badgers backside, not often you see a swarm of midges in a pub. Punters seemed not entirely pleased to see us.

Had an ale in here before going on to Aberystwyth.

To be fair, the beer was decent. However, I get the feeling that if the girl behind the bar had taken a dislike to us, we'd have been out of there quicker than Matthew Kelly in Stars In Their Eyes.

I think this is how backstreet boozers used to be in my dads day back in the 70's...dark and smokey with seats that have been gaffer-taped back into existence. You don't find 'em like this anymore.

This pub is terrible, the landlady attitude is terrible. I would never set foot in this pub as long as she is behind the bar
