Something of a mixed experience here...arrived around 6.30pm on a Sunday night. Bar area was sparsely populated and a single barman behind the pumps. We approached the bar and began perusing the handpumps to settle on our choice, although he did not acknowledge us at this stage. During this period, and despite having no other customers to serve, the barman chose to come out from behind the bar and walked to the far end of the room where he started waving a TV remote around whilst discussing something with a group of drinkers at a table, presumably over something to do with the rather loud commentary coming from the three huge flatscreens pumping out the Spanish football. He then returned to the bar area, walked straight past us and started a conversation with first one, then another couple who were perusing menus and dithering over where to sit at tables. All this time, he strode past us several times before returning behind the bar and finally acknowledging us with a "you all right there, guys"? Mmmmm...no we weren't , actually.
However, we were only there for the beer, so a choice of Titanic, Abbeydale and Church end beers were on offer and all were very good. We will return again, as events at the Opera House will draw us back, but the initial customer contact needs to be much improved to keep us coming back.

Attractive and interesting, but local beer was very average (despite decent turnover).

My wife and I have stayed at the Buckingham twice this year and I have been absolutely overwhelmed to find well-kept beer in a hotel bar! I agree that the decor is a bit bare and my wife is still cursing the management for not having any port but it's definitely a good place for a beer drinker.

Still as good as ever, bar food a bit on the expensive side but it is a hotel after all.

Visited at the end of February '09. Bar opening at 1800 hours is a bit of a bugger after a long drive. There are about half a dozen real ales, and although some are weak and blonde, there is bound to be something acceptable even if you've not heard of it before. I had a guest ale from Somerset - forget what it was - seemed a long way to go for a pint that came almost from my doorstep. Staff are excellent, and what a roast lamb the chef turned out for me. After a day of driving and no lunch I nearly ate the plate too. Highly recommended.
