| Some very mixed reviews of this place, so thought I would take a look inside when passing. The general impression was similar to a Nicholsons, with plenty of not-as-old-as-it-seems wooden fittings and four real ales. No problems with service and my pint - Brains St David's Ale - was OK (if nothing special) and typically-priced for this expensive area at £3.10. A bit cramped due to a large part of the seating being reserved for some group which hadn't arrived at the time of my visit (early evening). So a mixed bag, and almost a benchmark for a 6.0 rating. rpadam - 16 Feb 2009 19:56 |
| awful, awful pub! i was served the stalest pint of ale i've ever had and when i duly returned it the supposed "landlord" told me that there was nothing wrong with it and "it was supposed to be like that - its an ale." whats more he wouldn't offer me a refund or anything in return. do not go here! bimgot - 31 Jan 2009 13:42 |
| Hmmm..hesitate to add it to my pubs as don't want to find it full of tourists and poncy gits next time I venture in. A proper pub with decent well-kept ale at reasonable prices. Easily as good as any in the area, except people put it down for its decor? What are you? a 'Merican tourist? get a life pal! To all its other detractors; There is a trade off between price + service speed. Pulling a decent pint ain't a one-second job. Try the Savoy if you want speed or a 'spoons if you want cheap. Pubs serve grog. Food's an incidental. Try Wimpy or Tesco. If you want poncy decor, try the Tate Modern lor' luv a duck mate, there's enough tossers destroying local cruisers as it is wiv out flash harrys banging abowt the bleeding decor & how slow the new Eastern European barmaid is. fact is it takes time pint to pull a pint and we cannae no longer afford to pay the wages of the ex-colonials: ozzies, kiwis, saffas who could at least speak English albeit weirdly accented..... threeravensmoor - 20 Jan 2009 22:22 |
| Pretty grim and expensive, beer is always stale the pub itself is hot and stuffy. Bar staff slow and operate the ‘who’s next’ policy whilst looking at their feet and not the customers. mrse1 - 1 Aug 2008 17:22 |
