| Good selection of beers, if a little scruffy. I'm fussy over good bar service and the barmaids here were attentive despite the busy lunch hour I spent in there, albeit with somewhat dull personalities. Nothing to really make the pub stand out, except perhaps the uneven floor. If you like Nicholsons pubs its more worth hitting the Blackfriar a short walk away. CaptainJamesTPint - 23 Apr 2008 15:51 |
| I've been visiting this pub on and off for the last ten years and it has had its ups and downs. I'd say this is in one of its better phases. Beer is well kept, and the staff are neither rude nor friendly: they just seem to be getting on with their job. If you want to be on first name terms with the staff in this area, go up the road to the tipperary. The interior keeps a sense of history notably via the floorboards and wooden fixings, and while busy it is usually possible to secure a seat because the throughput in the pub is quite high with passing trade. Food is pretty good. I think they still even have the pickled eggs in the corner cupboard at the back that looks like it should be hiding a dart board. Shame it isn't open at weekends though. Finally if you hear people talking of a rat in this place, it isn't a concern. A gentleman who goes by the pseudonym rat is in there all the time, and his name usually comes up in the context of drinking games and a failure to get a penalty drink down. Nice chap though. buzzard1 - 7 Apr 2008 15:27 |
| Oh dear dear dear dear And oh dear dear dear dear dear dear dear My wonderful local for three years until 2004. Stil use it regularly. Interesting and famous interior as used by Chris Wren when building the local church. But oh dear dear dear dear dear dear dear. "This beer is flat can I change it please". "No, it is bitter it is meant to be flat, no one else has complained." From what I hear this is typical of the place now. Got nothing about sourcing staff from around the world, but please please please know something about keeping and serving beer. And don't be surly to the customers! If it isn't fit for purpose, it isn't fit for purpose. And P off you suits who decided to join in the discussion, bunch of winkers. Food actually very good, shame really baggydave - 29 Jan 2008 22:28 |
| I was bit disappointed in the Bell - beer was OK but not great and it all felt a bit ordinary. Maybe just an off day (me or the pub) - will resolve to go back and give it another chance! writtleman - 4 Dec 2007 12:12 |
| Good selection of beers and a nice, snug layout. Food is good value, but portion size a bit small! OldManPub - 28 Nov 2007 13:15 |
