Good proper pub full of character with good selection of 4 ales - The Timothy Taylors was on top form the other night when I was there. I'm in the group saying "mathewb - you are very wrong, go and get your larger based drink around the corner in the numerous Ikea furnished pubs"

Popped in today.... Doing great here for Bank Holiday Monday.

Was a nice day to sit outside in the sunny beer and the food was excellent! Good portions and solid value for money. Good beer range at the moment as well with Hobgoblin, Hogs Back, Courage Best and Tim Taylor on handpumps. Other beers as well, but why not choose the real ale!

What are you on about mathewb!!!!
This pub is a Great example of what an Old English pub should be.
Have drunk in this pub for last decade and apart from the fact they do use energysaving lightbulbs (not a bad thing) i have to disagree with your exzagerated comments!!!
There are normally 4 diffent ales on sale and personally I have had no problem with the TEA.
Maybe you just visited on a off day although the George Abbot seems to be your sort of place?!?!

In Reply to Matthew, thats the whole charm of the place - in that it is old, and still has an old fashioned feel to it. Obviously i'd like it to be a little cleaner, but I have not noticed it to be filthy either. You don't like somewhere like the Auberge either which is the exact opposite of this!

Stay away from the T.E.A and Hobgoblin and try a Courage Best or Directors or as BeerSupper says lagers can be ok.

This pub is appalling. The furniture is absolutely disgusting - the stains and grime on every single seat and every inch of carpet in the place must date back decades; and don't lean on the tables unless you want your jumper to get stuck and unravel when you lift your arms up. There is apparently a decent range of ales on offer, but the pint of TEA we had was absolutely dead. The lighting is also dreadful - ancient lampshades with energy-saving bulbs sticking over the top everywhere you look so you've got glaring lights in your eyes. You really wouldn't take your mother in here, and you really really wouldn't take anyone you were trying to pull in here. Stay well clear and wait for a refurb. Or a deep clean at the very least.
