| I visited this pub last week with my lovely wife Susan. We thought it was absolutely charming, but had the same problem as poor Quinno in that we couldn't find the toilets. Bless her, Susan held on for as long as she could but while I tried to finish my flagon of Cardinals Snortfinger (a lovely pint with a distinctly melon finish). We had to leave quite quickly in the end, and if you do visit, try and avoid the second table on the left, can't say which chair it was as they may have shuffled them. And, Quinno, Michelle McManus is a good friend of mine, what are you trying to say about her? Thomas_Kohnstamm - 13 May 2008 13:26 |
| Been here a couple of times; Once on a Friday night when the suits were out after work, and once on a Sunday avo', when it was quiet and the draught was off - all of it! Aside from the 'draught issue' the Social is a nice boozer and the food looked great, altough I didn't eat myself. I nice alternative to some other boozers nearby. Birchy - 3 Mar 2008 21:09 |
| A decent attempt at creating an upmarket young(er) drinkers venue. There’s usually a couple of ales on and often sourced from outside the usual suspects. Quality of dispense was poor when it first opened, but the last few visits have seen good beers served up. Some interesting foreign lagers and Aspall’s Cyder on tap too, only place I’ve ever seen it so far – so good marks on the range. The décor is a mixture of mood lighting and leather sofas. I imagine the sofas won’t last long before the gaffer tape comes out for emergency repairs. A number of music and entertainment evenings get the punters in regularly. Couple of gripes – the toilets aren’t signposted at all, and once there (well, the gents anyway) they reek horribly of piss and look quite filthy. And this is during the early afternoon. Also the gigantic portrait of the fat bloke who is supposedly the ‘President’ of the social club would look better off in a banana republics shopping centre. Assuming the picture is his doing, he must have the ego the size of Michelle McManus’s fridge. Aside from those, a good choice for a pint at present. I quite like it. Quinno - 18 Feb 2008 22:32 |
