| Cool bar, lots of character and great staff frankw5 - 16 May 2012 17:01 |
| Beers on a recent visit were Caledonian Chocolate Drop, London Pride, Old Speckled Hen, Doom Bar and Hobgoblin. Ciders were slightly disappointing with just Symonds Founders Reserve and Scrumpy Jack. Blackthorn - 25 May 2011 13:18 |
| This place has lost a lot of its, no, ALL of its character since being refurbished. Ripped out most of the old fixtures and fittings, and replaced by bland pubs r us furniture. The lights were uncomfortably and unnecessarily bright, which everybody in our group commented on. They still have live music but the 'singer'/ 'guitarist' in last night was just awful, wailing loudly and badly out of tune to about five punters. For the record, last night's ale choice was an uninspiring and average Doom Bar, flat Bombardier and OKish Spitfire. Oh, and when doing the place up, they seemed to have forgot the toilets, which haven't been touched since about 1987 and stank to high heaven. A pub ruined. Dandillus - 4 Apr 2010 11:38 |
| Busy on a recent Saturday evening, so hopefully trade has picked up. Found it closed on a Monday though, so presumably not worth their while opening earlier in the week. Recently refurbished, although nothing significant seems to have changed. The small bar at the rear still caters for bands on many nights, with an emphasis on blues/jazz. Much improved since the smoking ban; many of the clientelle didn't just stick to tobacco. Quick and efficient service fron the lone barman. Dissapointing range of beers with just two of the six pumps in use, and they both had the same beer on - Blindman's Mine Beer, although there was also Tetley's Dark Smooth on tap. Ciders were Symonds Founders Reserve, and Thatcher's Traditional straight from the barrel. Overall I'd say room for improvement, but still vastly better than most of the bars nearby.

| Visited last Saturday very early evening - warm welcome and decent pint but was amused by the sign "Hot food served here or bring in your own takeaway" - thinking it's not much of an advert for the chef. Then in walked half a dozen guys, all with takeaways. Chatting to one of them about the sign, he said "Food's bloody rubbish here, but the beer's bloody good". Just about sums it up!
