| First visit to this pub and I had a pint of Hydes Bitter which was OK but not as good as in Manchester!! Decided to eat here and had steak and chips with a glass of wine for £5.99. As has been said it all looks like a Wetherspoons menu but the portion was not as big. I finished with a half of Ilkley Brewery Best Bitter which was quite hoppy and not unpleasant. The staff were OK and although the pub could probably do with a re-furbishment it wasn't that bad. Beer prices were in the region of £2.55 a pint which is about 45p cheaper than my locals at home so I can't complain. mcroyal - 10 Mar 2011 12:48 |
| The only good thing about the pub is its very large beer garden but it gets packed out most days in the summer. Not enough room inside when the weather is bad. The food is average but does have some nice ales which change regularly. They do have quiz night but I wouldn't recommend it. Avoid this if you don't like students. manglewangle - 28 Aug 2010 15:46 |
| Wasn't that impressed. Yes, they have lots of real ale on pump, but it's quite expensive and real ale isn't included in the food offers (grill + drink for example). Food is alright, but the portions are fairly small. Inside (and the food menu) is like a Wetherspoons. But it's more expensive. 7/10... and that's being generous. dpaajones - 21 May 2009 15:11 |
| Used to be a fantastic pub, the Sunday roasts were worth walking a fair way in the rain for! Sadly, has gone the way of many of the formerly independent pubs, and the food now has a distinctly 'microwave' feel to it. The ales are the major disappointment here, the London Pride and Old Speckled hen used to be really well-kept and made this pub one of the few reliable places to visit on any day. Now, despite there being four hand-pumps, you'd be lucky to find more than one or two ales on. Unfortunately it seems these days as if packing the place full to bursting on the weekend and getting rid of as much poor-quality ale is the order of the day. A real shame...
