| The railway bell has been refurbished and now has more of a contemporary feel, than a typical "old man's pub". It looks pretty vibrant and fresh, especially compared to other pubs in the area - I'd say this has the best interior design/style. During the days it's nice for a quiet drink. It usually has DJs on holidays (around christmas and new years), but otherwise you can put the jukebox on. They also play music on the tv for background music, and have Sky sports so you can watch football, rugby, cricket, etc. It's nice to take a partner there sometimes - you don't get much trouble there, but it's good to go in a group too. There's a nice garden/smoking area outside. streak - 23 Jun 2008 16:12 |
| The weatherboarded exterior with its old Trumans sign is quite eyecatching and its position opposite the station entrance should make this place an obvious starter for a pub crawl or a pleasant nightcap after an evening up town. The interior however is a complete contrast to the charming exterior as the pub has become a victim of an interior designers vision, someone who obviously feels that pub interiors should no longer have any character and has set about creating a swanky, modern look with a total lack of sympathy for the building itself. Predomanantly pure white walls and ceilings, new pine bar, trendy cream seating lined up like a railway carriage, plasma screens churning out rubbish music, padded seats with fluffy cushions, triangular and cubed stools and regular DJs and karaoke nights to repel anyone seeking a a peaceful pint. No Ales either. Only the charming and welcoming barmaid gets any brownie points. She deserves better. RogerB - 28 Dec 2007 20:37 |
