| I visited the pub on a Tuesday afternoon. A 95-year-old woman in the corner called Rose told me that she had been born on the island and returned in 1993 after a spell living in Cornwall. She turns up for two pints of her 'Morland medicine' every lunchtime. There was another woman called Rose at the bar and they had a bizarre discussion about the provenance of their names. The second Rose was joined for lunch by a flamboyant man with a beard who, I was told, is the restaurant critic of the local paper. The elderly barman is apparently a former amateur international boxer who used to coach the university boxing club. He was quite rude to some people who came in, but they were idiots and they deserved it. The food was honest and good value. I suspect this place gets more than its fair share of characters.

| An enjoyable hideaway that one would only come across by venturing in the opposite direction from the station to the city centre. The canalside location is lovely, even if risky in the flood-ridden Britain of the mid noughties. BoehmBawerk - 13 Aug 2007 22:09 |
| Good pub, perfect for a summer do one might say. Gerschenkron - 15 Jun 2007 13:58 |
| Pint IPA bought evening 3May07. Drank about an inch to see that the glass was filthy. Discretely mentioned to Landlord as he was passing. No response. Repeated on him passing again. No immediate response – save this time he bought another glass – presumably for me to decant into. I did not want this - I assumed he’d bring another pint in a perfectly clean glass. Told him on a further passing that I was not going to drink my beer – so he refunded my money. Even though Pub is very local – can’t see me going back. What price customer satisfaction? I really fancied a pint as well. ianb - 7 May 2007 08:15 |
| Just been once, with our 15-year-old son whose prime interest in pubs is to play dominoes, darts, bar billiards or pool with his dad. However, we were soon ejected on the ground that children were not permitted. So much for being a so-called community pub. Braganca - 25 Apr 2007 22:28 |
