I couldn't stand this place when it was the Ha Ha - No bitter but plenty of loud music.
Now as the Tramshed it is more of a dining destination, but with a fair amount of seating/space for drinkers. There is also plenty of seating outside, and well away from the fumes of Walcot St.
Good beer selection, and fair selection of other drinks also.
I've been to eat a couple of times, with a good selection of tasty and reasonably priced food. The service seemed friendly enough both times. At lunch time it was efficient and quick, not so in the evening (there seemed to be only 1 barman for example). It is fairly early days, maybe this aspect will improve, but certainly a big improvement on the Ha Ha

Now called The Tramshed, this In many ways this seems more of a restaurant than a pub. For example, there is a desk just inside the door to check your reservation, and having stood there for a few seconds (we were planning to eat) someone comes up to serve you. That said, there is a long bar on the left with a surprisingly good range of drinks, and I’m sure that you’d be welcome to just pop in for a pint. Just don’t expect a particularly pubby feel to the place.

Although it’s all one big, open room, they’ve divided it up in to a few different areas. To the right there are very rough, rustic wooden tables with bench seats covered in what appears to be cow hides. The parquet wooden flooring contrasts with the ceiling which has industrial metal lamps and visible ventilation ducting. At the back are some full height wine racks and glimpses of the kitchen can be seen off in one corner. There are full size windows at the front leading out on to a patio area.

Staff all seemed friendly, although one got the impression that was perhaps in hopefulness of a decent tip or due to corporate strategy rather than being entirely genuine. The waitress who brought our bill even gave us a card with details of an online survey that we could fill out, and had scribbled her name on in, just in case we wanted to mention her!

Food menu was extensive as would be expected, with an emphasis on pizza and pasta, as well as several sharing dishes. What we had seemed decent enough and reasonable value, although it amused me that one of the dishes on the “specials” menu was exactly the same as the one served up to a local hack in their sister pub in Bristol, who pointed out that the they were in fact listed on page 26 of the Brake Brothers party brochure, item code F33004….

Beers on tap were Doom Bar and the local Gem. Ciders were Aspall’s Suffolk, and impressively, Thatcher’s Heritage. It’s not often you see that in a pub, never mind a restaurant/bar.

For what it is, its not bad at all, but as mentioned before, its not a real pub, more a wine bar. Bit pricey too.

Went there with work mates once, that was enough for me.

I was forced to come here with some work colleagues. Never again! Full of wannabes.
