| Small single room pub, which still looks like an old style boozer. The selection of foreign lagers and trendy customers sporting natty head attire tell you otherwise. Claims to be a Free House on the outside, but had plenty of Fullers garb around and the three beers on offer were all Fullers. The Pride and ESB were well kept, although having to sup them from plastic pots was a bit of a shame. (One of our party wanted to step outside and smoke) Not a bad place all in all. mrse1 - 11 Aug 2008 10:50 |
I think the Australian manager got sacked for stealing, (no surprise there), and since the volume, both from mouths and machines has been greatly reduced, its fine for a midweek ale bang in the middle of the s/ditch action. Some new bottled ales, including meantime and Trappist varieties are reasonably priced and they now sell Twigglets. plaintalkingdrinker - 1 Aug 2008 12:37 |
| This pub has actually got a LOT better in the last month.The glasses are clean and the place on a whole looks a lot cleaner,same barman which is a bonus but new much better management so you dont get abused because the manager is drinking his stock!!! super - 17 Jun 2008 11:51 |
| Nice on the outside, and an old man grittiness on the inside, but thats about as good as it got. The choice of beer was good, but the Adnams was horrible and the Pride not much better. The bar girl needs a lesson in how to poor a pint of Guinness. Two old blokes at the bar who were nice enough to tell us what they thought of us visiting "their bar". Plenty of better pubs in the area. jqsmooth - 11 Apr 2008 09:28 |
| A small basic single room Fullers corner pub with a good selection of beers given its size. ESB, Pride & Discovery on handpump + draught Litovel (4.2 and 5% versions), Fruili and Honey Dew. The helpful and knowledgeable barman was steering a couple of foreigners through the different beers and offering tastings when I walked in which is always good to see. The décor is fairly basic with bare wooden floors, settles, cream tongue and groove ceiling and large picture windows with the Fullers logo. Also noted some decent music when I was there but that’s just a matter of taste. Not sure where the Skull & Crossbones flag comes into the scheme of things but it was a jolly RogerB when I left. Ouch. Sorry about that one. RogerB - 26 Dec 2007 10:16 |
