No real ale but the service was friendly and helpful

A scandalous colonization of a prime, sympathetic waterfront development. Luckily, Via Fossas are now thinner on the ground after their eighties heyday. The service behind the bar was clueless despite it being a quiet sunday afternoon and the locals had no sense of their proper place in the queue: a reflection of the pent up aggression to be found on the streets of this Stag Do capital of the UK.

Such a shame....

When the water front area was first developed it was a lovely place to sit enjoy a pint in the sun, enjoy some good food in any of the pubs and admire the surroundings.

But, after paying a visit to Via Fossa only a couple of months ago, I was reminded of just how far downhill it's gone.

The service at the bar was appalling, the barman was more interested in giving his mate a free pint than serving paying customers, and the poor lady next to me asked for the wine menu to then be told "I dunno where it is, you'll have to look round the tables", and then there is the general clientel, which mostly consists of either pretentious posers or beered up half wits whose only real motivation in life is to see how many fights they can start.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

After we had found a little secluded area to sit in and chat whilst we had a bite to eat, up goes the volume. I've stood behind concorde when it's taken off and it would be easier to hold a conversation behind it than in here!!

So to summarise, a nice venue, but might be a good idea to pull down some of the football memorabellia, turn down the music a bit, and cut out the offers on shots & alco-pops and it might stand a chance again.

This pub/bar is housed in a gorgeous building the decor is great there are loads of levels and little hidy holes, its wonderfully situated on the waterside and its great to enjoi a pint outside by the river in the summer, but why oh why is it always full of complete tossers! Please someone throw out the knobbers and make this into a real ale pub like The Fellows, sigh such a waste....
