| Can someone confirm if this is still open? Have been told it's becoming a supermarket! stemginger - 16 Apr 2012 09:31 |
| This place seems a bit of a wasted opportunity. Looks huge from the outside, but when you wander in, the massive bar in the middle cuts the pub in half, with the pool tables in one (front) area and seating at the back. And that just felt a bit cavernous. Had a couple of ale pumps, but both clips (Black Sheep and one other) were turned round, so it was Smiths and Strongbow instead. And £6.10 for the two pints, which felt pricey to me. No Sky Sports either, according to the sign inside the door. duchyjim - 28 Feb 2011 10:04 |
| I popped in here on a week night recently and all the beer had run out except for the Carlsberg which was being changed. I asked the barmaid if the pub was shut and she snapped that they had been busy. It didn’t seem that busy to me as the front of the pub was empty and there were a dozen or so intimidating regulars playing on the two pool tables and watching Sky Sports on the massive plasma screen. I didn’t like the staff or the clientele and there was no beer – I'll not be rushing back. Strongers - 12 Jun 2009 11:55 |
| They have tried of that there is no question. The restaurant area is a little clinical. The bitter was not good. Unfortunately it's infested with the same people as before and therefore you feel immediately uncomfortable. Imagine, four hillbilly looking females draped in various poses over the sofas in the front bar and one of them is changing a babys nappy! Would you want to eat or drink there? Will not be returning! stemginger - 30 Apr 2009 11:40 |
| It always looks empty when you pass it on the bus - and so it was when I ventured in one Saturday night. The few locals tend to inhabit the bar at the back. I can understand why because you feel llike you're in a goldfish bowl in the front bar with it's clear panoramic windows inviting all and sundry from the surrounding flats and the bus stop to gawk at you while you're having your pint. The decor and general cleanliness is a vast improvement on it's former incarnation. Unfortunately the real ale was awful.... to the extent of undrinkable even. Even with it's bright interior and pleasanter surroundings it's a pub where you won't feel at ease if you aren't a local. I have to give them full marks for effort in difficult surroundings I give the place a try but doubt I'll be back in a hurry. Snarling_Mallard - 28 Apr 2009 21:30 |
