| I was here on Easter Sunday just before 12.00 noon but there was a lady serving. Next to Westgate Station so worth a visit if waiting for a train like I was. They have six hand pulls 3 for Clarks 1 for Tim Taylors Landlord & 2 guests. I had a pint of Clarks Westgate Gold which is 4.2% & cost only £1.93 a pint. bjbrummiejohn - 17 Apr 2012 08:26 |
| I am long-term visitor to this pub but since a new manager took over, a small man with a nasty face, I have felt hostility from him with every visit. The last time I visited he insulted me as I walked in the door! Can you believe it! I challenged him but I refrained from punching him, although I certainly will next time. The barmaid was polite enough, although obviously embarrassed. There's a nasty atmosphere in there now, even the customers seem rougher. The place is a nasty little dive while that jumped-up Napoleon is there. Don't go there, it's a dump. Steveo345 - 3 Apr 2012 20:57 |
| Place to go if passing, certainly better than the pubs surrounding it, friendly staff who keep a clean bar. George1916 - 22 Jun 2010 07:36 |
| Three ales on the go - Clarks Mild, Blonde (it's the tap for the brewery situated directly behind) and TT Landlord. I tried both the Clarks and was impressed with the Blonde, the Mild less so (still drinkable though, tho a bit cold) – both were cheap as chips, so no complaints about the pricing. The interior is a sort of L-shape with a function room running off the right hand end (there was a wedding reception on when I went in). There's a decent attempt at creating some nice individual drinking areas, with wood paneling, stone flooring and nik-naks thrown together (the bar has an overhang which is thatched) and it just about works! There's a TV with the horses on that one old boy was avidly following, along with pool and live music nights. Perhaps my main gripe would be that on the grey, miserable day I popped in the outside awnings were pulled all the way, blocking much of what little natural light there was, making the place seem rather unwelcoming. Overall not bad at all, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the town but it isn’t necessarily worth the journey if you’re happy in the Fernandes! Quinno - 3 Aug 2009 20:01 |

Beer quality usually good.decor could do with update.Toilets vastly improved lately and now does food at lunchtime. 1st Monday of month has a Pagan group meeting in upstairs bar! ecletic mix of customers ,usually friendly. paganjones7 - 26 Jul 2009 23:36 |
