Went there one lunchtime last week just to see if it is as bad as other revewers say.. The guy of Mediterranean appearance still seems to be in charge so presumably the owners don't read BITE reviews.
We ate in the upstairs room and the waitress got quite annoyed because we didn't want to sit at a table next to a very hot radiator. There was only one waitress (whose English was limited) who was also barmaid and as she was busy it was quicker to walk downstairs to the main bar to get drinks and carry them back up. Food was average and although ours was OK, some other customers were complaining that theirs was cold, possibly because the waitress was trying to serve drinks while plates of food were cooling down.
In the pub downstairs there's a good range of beers and those we tried were good.
A place to pop in for a decent pint, but if you want to eat; go to Dirty Dicks across the road.

Nice pub with a good range of real ale. Decent restaurant upstairs. My only complaint is the piped music. I was in the upstairs restaurant talking to friends when the waitress appeared and immediately turned on the music loud enough to drown all conversation. We asked her politely to turn it down but were told that "there was always music there". Her English was not good enough to explain why this was done even if customers did not want it.

Sadly we now live in an age where most of the barstaff in pubs in larger British towns and cities seem to be foreign and they really don't give a toss! This is part of a large chain of Nicholsons pubs and I only went there to get a stamp on my Ale Trail. One half pint was enough - then move on!

Re zuzanna and Stout Chappie.
I totally agree with zuzanna and think the customer sevice is paramount to all when visting any business dealing in hospitality.
Having visited this amazingly bad establismemt i have noticed all the bad points (loads) mentioned in the previous comments but none of the good.
The old chap in question is the manager and behaves exactly how zuzanna and other people have stated.I work in the area and do not need to mention other establishments save to say they are all better than this one.
The one saving grace to this very bad excuse for a pub is that it has an exit.
I also think that all companys take complaints seriously whenever they receive them apart from the crap holes that Stout Chappie drinks in.

Revolting, frozen food that I would not feed to a stray dog, cheap nasty wine and a foreign barmaid with strawberry coloured hair that I don’t imagine would bother to crack a smile if her ticket came up on the Euromillons. AVOID at all costs. I feel violated.
