Platic tit sparklers removed, beer quality very good (decent range too - Bath Barnstormer was lovely a few weeks back).

Good service, and a good atmosphere now people have ventured in and not been hit by flying bar furntiure, as they used to expect.

You can take or leave the decor, but the beer makes it worth a visit.

What a change! Gone are the morans or have they just smartened up in response to the pub's refurbishment?
Nice food and great to see a smart pub this side of the bridge as mentioned before!

New owners (same chaps as in the Lyndhurst) and in effect a brand new pub.

Going for a more upmarket vibe, big on food. Has a fair range of ale on but for some reason puts the evil plastic tit of a sparkler on the southern ones (why?). When it's off, the quality is good.

Décor may not be to some tastes (some of the fabric looks like it was sourced from Bet Lynch's knicker drawer).

Worth a visit.

Has recently had a lot of money spent on it in an attempt to move it up market. Food menu looks interesting although a bit expensive for the area. 3 handpumps with regularly changing ales. Pool table removed. Enclosed beer garden should be good in the summer.

Andy Becalick, who also owns The Lyndhurst Arms in Queens Road, has taken over the pub and its been greatly improved – well it wouldn’t take much would it?

Cushions on benches, stripped floor, decent food and two real ales. While I was there a couple of oiks came in but were so repulsed by the great ambience and cleanliness that they backed out quietly.

This pub needs to be supported as it is the only proper pub left on this side of the bridge.
