| Ye Shakespeare? Ye Gods! Soulless waste of a proper old building, fake beamery, multiple fizzy bland brands, dull ales and fruities. curioushistory - 26 Jan 2012 11:48 |
| This looks a suitable olde worlde pub from the outside as you would expect from it’s name. It doesn’t seem quite as authentic inside though. Nothing particularly wrong with it, there’s a wood beamed ceiling and an ornate carved wooden bar, but it doesn’t have quite the quaintness that you might expect from the outside. A collection of about four fruit/quiz machines, a modern juke box and shiny metal lager fonts all conspire to remind you that this is the 21st century. There is also a rear bar with a large pool table, although this was in darkness. Apparently there are pool tournaments on a Monday night, and poker tournaments on Wednesdays, although there was no evidence of that on our visit. There were four beer pumps on the bar, although only two of these were in use serving Tribute and Gem. Good choice of ciders though, with Blackthorn, Stowford Press, Addlestones, Olde English and Gaymer’s Pear (if you count that as a cider). Blackthorn - 26 Aug 2010 10:03 |
| a pub that never fails to disapoint me , no real ales on , walked in walked out again beatles38 - 1 Oct 2009 21:25 |
| Nice to be able to sit outside. Bloke behind the bar didn't seem really interested in what he was doing. Couldn't see much of the pub inside as we'd all be dazzled by the sun outside! leicester_pubster - 24 Feb 2009 15:53 |
| customers , who either seem to be revenue or firemen in the main , a bit on the boorish side , bar staff reasonable ,food quite nice , but sorry if I lived in the area it would'nt be my local . beatles38 - 2 Nov 2008 21:20 |
