| Been in this pub several times and the only good pint i have had is the irving frigate. The landlord tried telling me that the henrys tasted funny because it was a new barrel.!! Most of the time there is no beer at all. caskforce - 12 Mar 2012 17:14 |
| Very attractive up-market pub. Beer is Wadworth's plus a guest. Well worth a look along with the nearby Eldon Arms. baxterfish - 29 Jan 2011 22:23 |
| Very pleasant, love Wadworths beer, agree that it's become a little more gentrified since its days as The Diamond, but still good. Reverend - 25 Jan 2011 15:43 |
| A superbly decorated and furnished gastro pub in the same sidestreet as the Eldon Arms. The exterior is a riot of old school Victorian pub frontage and the interior is a feast of dark wooden panneling, furniture and glass. There are five Wadworth ales on, the Horizon and Henry's IPA were in good nick. BUT... Despite a friendly welcome it was fairly clear that drinkers were very much secondary to the diners with all tables reserved for dining on Saturday evenings, with us being restricted to stools at the bar. The food descriptions were enticing and the prices were very reasonable, explaining there fully booked status. The only lunctime that they open is Sunday, with heavily advertised roasts, the rest of the week the pub opens at 18:00. As nice as this place is, it is really no longer a traditional wet sales led pub and is more a small resturant with a bar. flashharry1965 - 11 Oct 2010 11:01 |
| Nice sidestreet pub. Four ales on when I visited and very reasonably priced wine. Was not eating but the food looked decent. Sat in the garden which makes the most of a small space. Friendly barman and interesting mix of locals. The bar billiards table is currently under repair unfortunately but should return in the near future apparently. I flit between this place and the equally good neighbouring Eldon Arms depending on how the mood takes me. Pentargo - 6 Sep 2010 11:35 |
