| Not much has changed here since my last review. It's everything you expect from an O'Neills. On a Wednesday evening, we could get a table and service was much more efficient than on my last visit. 3 ales were on - Pride, Doom Bar & Ubu. Aspalls is the cider. Very close to the station, it's often a venue for meeting up with people, before hopefully moving on. blue_scrumpy - 8 Apr 2012 10:34 |
| Standard O'Neill's fare, so I'll run down the basics... Location: right next to the station, so perfect if you are rolling off a train and want a quick one on the way home. Beer: not much for real ale fans. They've just changed the lagers and seem to be going up market with Amstel and Heineken instead of Fosters and Carling. Taste better, but if I want to pay £3.50 a pint there are nicer pubs around than O'Neills. Service: hit and miss. Although they employ dozens of staff and are always changing, it seems there are only ever a couple of people who serve anyone. The rest are all doing table service, or glasses, or food, or aren't trained up to use the till. Last time I was in there was an Irish girl behind the bar talking to her friend for 10 mins while I waited. I assumed she wasn't trained up, but about half an hour later I saw her stop her chat and actually serve someone... Food: I wouldn't. O'Neills food isn't great anyway, and having seen the state of this place at weekends I'd have serious worries about the hygiene. Weekends: Friday and Saturday nights tend to be a meat market for the over thirties crowd. They used to have some good bands on a Saturday and Sunday night, but I'm guessing they've worked out that drunken rugby players will listen to anything because the last few times I've been in the music has been awful. I think they now do karaoke on a Sunday. Bouncers: worth a mention because they are actually nice reasonable people. There's very rarely any trouble here (I guess because it's an older crowd) and I've often managed to get in with a group of mates, even after having a few liveners elsewhere. dingdangdo - 4 Mar 2011 08:27 |
| Bland chain pub in a handy location. I saw at least 1 real ale available - Purity Ubu. Service was not the most friendly I have ever seen. The interior is fairly large. But seating is generally at a premium. It's also a bit too dark and dingy, especially to the rear. Although a table near the window offers good people-watching! blue_scrumpy - 18 Dec 2010 14:33 |
| Been in here a couple of times. First time was pretty good, they had a live band on and the atmosphere was good, plus the drinks were pretty cheap (if you drink doubles). Second time though, I came in for lunch during the week. The place was nearly empty, which I guess is to be expected for a Monday. The food, while cheap, was a let down. I thought I was onto a winner with ribs for about £6 but when they came out they were bland and it looked like they had just microwaved some sauce and drowned the ribs in it. Good for a night out, but wouldn't eat there again. mermsy - 25 Jun 2010 22:43 |
| bland carbon copy of every other O'Neils out there. Not good but not necessarily bad either. theoneandonlyjoe - 9 Jun 2010 00:56 |
