A bit quirky as people have said, which is better than the bland. Beer was Butcombe Bitter; food a burger which was ok. Upstairs area is nice with couches and small tables.

Anything good about this pub is negated by the unwelcoming and resentful staff..having arrived at 10pm, our group (+20-30 other patrons) was herded downstairs part at 10:30..staff were happy to serve us at 10:55, but the rude and aggressive way that we were hassled to drink up and leave by 11:15 was both unnecessary and unreasonable and sent a clear message as to how the management of this pub view their customers. Will not be going back.

Quite a nice pub, with a few different seating sections within it. It's bustling at the weekend, but not rammed - it's possible to get a table and be served at the bar within a minute, which are the main things really. The menu looks quite appealing and I was sorry to have arrived just a few minutes after the kitchen closed.

I spent an evening at The Reliance last week. I started on the Rosey Nosey (pretty good), then had a pint of London Pride (not great) and then finished with the Broadside (no complaints at all).

As I only had three beers I cannot really support or refute the claims (see below) that the beer at this pub is poor. Of the three different ales I tried, two were good and one was a little below average.

The beer did seem a little expensive but the selection (particularly bottled) is good.

The Reliance it a strange little pub, but one which is charming in a bizarre way. The staff seem a little odd too, but I wouldn't mind going back if I were in the area.
