I like this pub - the interior, a real work of art, must make it truly unique and it's worth going into the place just to take a look! Amazing now to think that so-called 'modernisers' once wanted to demolish it. Can get crowded inside (being a thin, wedge-shaped building, it's not exactly spacious). Cask ales, including TT's Landlord last time I visited. Decent enough food.

Visited today, a grey and overcast lunchtime. Found the pub half empty so none of the service issues referred to previously. Two well kept pints of Thwaites Lancaster Bomber (glasses topped up without question) - 7 different real ales on - washed down with a tuna melt and chips Mate had steak which was not bad. Only slight downside is the price, even by Nicholsons standards.

Ok Pub. Visited 4 times on a recent trip from Australia. Good beer, amazing building but car be very slow to get served. I also find it always smells a bit inside. The 6X went down very nicely though.

Went on a Sunday when it was quiet and enjoyed the Timothy Taylor. A proud part of our pub heritage thankfully preserved, and delightfully out of place with it's concrete surroundings. A good range of European as well as home grown beers.

Great pub to visit, once all the usual crowd (as others have said, City boys and their hangers-on) have gone home or when it's nice enough to sit outside. The interior is amazing and well worth a look. Great range of beers from all over the place.
