I have been living on the green for over three years and have been a regular at the Alma since the first time I entered the place. This gastro pub is great. Their house red is very decent for £12 a bottle and their spirits are around £3 with mixer which is not too bad frankly. Plus the atmosphere is really cosy, down to their lovely back garden. The staff is effective and friendly. Nice place.

Half decent gastropub, although I wouldn't go out of my way to return. As peviously stated, the beers was a bit ropey. Is this the place Bobby Gillespie complained about making noise on a saturday night?

I've been going to this pub on and off for a couple of years now and I keep making the same mistake - steer well clear of the draught beer - it's terrible! They've changed brands more than once since I first went and each time I think I'll give it another go and end up with a pint worse than any watered-down pound-a-pint beer I ever had in the student union (it’s worse than any jar I’ve had in the worst nightclubs). £3.30 for a pint of metallic tasting lager (it was Amstel last time and has been Red Stripe and Miller previously) without the slightest hint of a head is shocking for the money. They're all the same so it can only be bad storage practice that makes a terrible impression on an otherwise lovely pub bar (apart from the service, which can be infuriatingly slow and offhand at times). Stick to bottled beer, and if you’ve got a thirst make sure you’ve got plenty of cash.

Feel obliged to post a fresher comment, given than none has been made since my last. I was in here very recently with a group of friends and the place has been transformed - friendly staff, good service, great atmosphere and a lovely little beer yard/garden. I'm not sure what happened but it's certainly been for the best. It's still a little on the expensive side, but worth a visit and one of the best in the area.

Expensive. Beer not that good. Staff very slow. It has a nice ambience, perfect for couples.
