| Went there last night and it's not really much to write home about. The bar staff started tidying everything away at about ten - we ended up sitting at the bar surrounded by tables with the chairs on top of them. We left around eleven, maybe even slightly before, I nipped to the toilet and by the time I got back they'd put my bar stool on the bar and were waiting to lock up. Not very friendly.

| I go there regularly at lunchtimes and after work - don't believe the bad reviews! Good choice of wines, beers, and, as of recently, spirits. £6 lunch special is a winner even if you sometimes have to wait a while. Vegetarian options continue to improve, although avoid the indian style veggie burger. Service can be patchy - there seems to be a lot of turnover - but the owners are lovely. Fine beer garden in the back and squishy sofas next to a fire when it's cold. medelliana - 20 Apr 2007 21:55 |
| Have been here a few times before gigs at the Academy but I won't be going back again. Nice pub but the flakey bar staff trying to do several things at once make buying a drink a slow, frustrating experience, even on fairly quiet nights. unclebuck - 8 Feb 2007 10:33 |
| Seems like this place might have been going through a bad patch but it has picked up now. Doing Sunday roasts but get there early (lunchtime-ish) as they have sold out recently by about 5pm! Great big portions, and really tasty! Veggies still not that well catered for but there is always at least one option. As for the place itself, nice sofas, lovely garden, smiles from the staff, good range of beers both on tap and bottled, shows football games every weekend, a good little hangout... theposhbird - 4 Sep 2006 17:04 |
| This has been a favourite of mine for a couple of years but appears to have changed hands recently and seems to be going down hill. The current staff lack attention and this has the biggest impact on the food side of the business. Recently, my vegetarian partner has been served pork sausage despite quite specifically asking for the vegetarian option and then with my own Sunday lunch order, the latest chef doesn't appear to be able to tell the difference between chicken and pork or lamb and beef. I agree that this remains a great place to see the football but if you're hungry, just stick to having a bag of crisps! fifletcher - 11 Jun 2006 19:28 |
