I visited thre Eight Bells recently on a Sunday night & I thought the place had improved since my previous visit. I was very hungry after a long journey & the White Horse doesn't serve food after 5pm on a Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food & that it was served hot. I consumed several pints of Courage Directors bitter @ £1.90 and it was excellent. The pub wasn't very busy & the staff were thinking of closing at 10.30pm. The selection of cask bitters was far better than at my local Wetherspoons.

Everyone bashes 'Spoons houses, and I freely admit, with often very good reason! However, it is the beer that is the most important factor and to be fair, it's not bad here. Naturally it doesn't compensate for the shite surroundings, the chavvy scum that frequent the place who are usually pissed by 1pm and the dreary atmos. that pervades the place. Still, we all know what to expect from these places.

Popped in on a sunday evening a few weeks back,it was pretty dead apart from some very very odd regulars including some awful cackling woman(i use that word loosely),shame as the selection of ales was good and the barmaid serving was friendly. 6/10

Agree with most of what is said, especially the regulars, one in particular who made no secret of suggesting where to get the nearest fix from!! Not very good for a family public house!!! Name either being Timmy/Jimmy?? I will not be bringing my children in there again with the likes of him.
