Not quite as good as some of the other nearby pubs but a vast improvement on its old guise.

This could be a very good venue. Perhaps having bands on that would pull in 300+ punters. Ideally located just off New Street, big square shaped room with a balcony. Small stage at one end, with big screen that comes down for football.
The downside, I've been in there, more than once, on a Saturday night, when they've only had one draught beer available (I don't mean just 1 real ale, I mean just one type of any beer/lager), as they had either run out or more probably trying to clear out aging stock. "Pint of Pedigree please", "sorry only got Carling, will that do instead"

Looks like this pub has gone for the `in crowd` image. Big open room with a balcony, bit bright, bit lounge, bit trendy studenty. Lots of beers and wines, don`t know if any taste any good - stuck to a coke as the mod and ska music put me off my beerhead. Just not my cup of tea (or beer) really.

Recently changed to The Sun On The Hill, but same ol' problems when it comes to the drinks.

Went here on a Friday night, and had a pint of Bombardier (the only ale on), which was average, but I couldn't have any more, as they ran out. I think they may have had a wheat beer on draught, but I didn't sample it.

Aside from the drinks, it's bright and there's always loud music blaring from its doors towards chucking out time, but in a good Beatles kind of way, rather than dancey. DJs on when I went in, and even got one of them to play Creedence Clearwater Revival, which seemed to go down well (with me anyway).

Nothing special mind, and not really worth seeking out.
