| I Like the ambience inside but for a pub that has such a wide range of cask ales they really need to employ some staff who have some enthusiasm for and knowledge of them. On my last vist this weekend the middle aged bloke on duty looked with disdain at my ordering two half pints, and offered no help at all when I asked for some info about one or two obscure ales. They might be better off keeping fewer beers in better condition, and marketing them with a bit of gusto. Disappointing. Also, curious name- I thought a cask WAS a barrel?! Some marketing kid's ignorance i assume..? Beerwulf - 4 Feb 2009 00:20 |
| Late comment from August. Had a Hadrian and Border but not as good a pub as it was in my opinion. gillhalfpint - 15 Jan 2009 10:08 |
| A pretty average pub. Unmemorable beer, lack of atmosphere, but no reason not to come back, I suppose. It isn't good and it isn't bad. ETA - 27 Nov 2008 09:39 |
| Pretty good beer selection compared to the rather staid selection in even many of the CAMRA approved pubs. Well kept beers, pleasant interior and just far enough off the festival circuit (for this festival goer!). JonW999 - 18 Aug 2008 23:11 |
| Just had the one in here. Seemed ok and the ale was fine. Quite welcoming actually. nickthefish - 18 Jun 2008 23:47 |
