| This pub should be absolutey brilliant but on recent visits there has been no beer available (cask ales) and I have now chosen the Haymarket as a better bet. mcroyal - 13 May 2012 10:32 |
| This place has some serious personality and I am glad to hear that the building is listed. It has some amazing stained glass windows and the interior has a nice old world charm to it. The selection of ales was good and even included Triple fff Moondance from way down in Hampshire. Definitely worth a visit. Four.one - 11 Jul 2011 12:56 |
| Sorry to hear about problems below - bad news. I was there September 2010 and my notes say it had several ales available (all Scottish except Spitfire) - I had Caledonian 80/. Good quality, busy, good craic with punters and people enjoying themselves. No problems. kernott1 - 23 Dec 2010 14:34 |
| Been visiting this pub for almost 20 years and in that time I have not had any complaints. Apart form the odd occasion when the beer I wanted was sold out. It went under a bit of a renovation about 6 months ago. They changed the bar area and brought in a couple of stand beside tables. Nothing too drastic like tidying up the toilets. Anyway the place has totally changed in staff, atmosphere and service. Whoever now owns this place must be using it for staff training as they have a big problem pouring a pint, serving customers before their mates, understanding English or Scottish. When it returns to the way it used to be I will return. PS Make sure you check your change. Two complaints from different customers whilst I had 2 pints says something. droggs - 3 May 2010 21:38 |
| I went there last night with a mate, played a fruit machine situated at door beside bar and went to toilet after losing 25 odd quid (big deal it happens) and after coming back my mate informed me a uniformed staff member named Cameron rushed up to it from behind the bar as soon as i had walked away proceeded to play it in between working and serving customers. i took exception to this considering it's a bit off colour to see a staff member blatantly scam the machines/customers like that as soon as a customers back is turned and asked him if he was working which he denied though it was obvious he was and was wearing uniform, going back and forth behind bar serving food etc, i just saw this as scamming behaviour and stated it so to him which he arrogantly chuckled at and 5 mins later when i tried to buy another drink and was told i would'nt be served by a staff member cos "Cameron" said so and after going up to him to find out what the actual problem was i was bemused to be told "i was barred" (for no stated reason) and to "get out" so it's a fine pub as long as you do not question certain staff members if they are obviously scamming customers playing cash game machines and abusing positions of authority by issuing bans when a customer enquires what they are playing at as they simply throw you out whilst laughing arrogantly, it was a very chavvish way to behave and i expected better from a place that normally has a happy atmosphere most times but it has evidently gone slightly downhill recently. disgruntled01 - 7 Feb 2010 15:14 |
