| yes yes this pub harks back to the bad old days of the 70s, but if you want somewhere to hide after a heavy weekender that did (as far as i remember) the biggest fatboy fryup for £2, it can't be beat. just don't look in the kitchen. darksun9210 - 17 Nov 2008 20:09 |
| Enjoy the Lounge bar, it should be listed by CAMRA as a heritage pub as it is perfectly preserved from 1984, right down the vintage Hofmeister ashtrays and Courage Best Nitrokeg! (perhaps they have Red Barrel and a Party 7 hidden in the cellar too). Landlady is akin to Peggy Mitchell on speed. Outside of that comedy factor, there's no real reason to return once you've had a look. Quinno - 28 Jun 2007 18:13 |
| Visited again more recently. If you're looking for a real British gem of a pub come here. It's the geniune article. The ideal place for the crib player and very very friendly. Alexh1982 - 12 Jan 2006 14:43 |
| I went there last week, (25/09/05) and had a really good time with my mate and his dad. Cheap pool, friendly atmos, doors and awnings (we estimate) haven't been changed since WW2 and reasonable prices. Even had a light and bitter just go with the feel of the pub. Lovely!!!!

| A reminder of how pubs used to be in the 70's. Crap beer, worn furniture, brown stains everywhere, rough looking customers, awful toilets. Catch it while you can - it won't be there forever! Bob - 13 Nov 2004 19:08 |
