| Old pub with old musician pictures on the wall. Nice to see it is back on the up as it was closed in Feb 2008. All seems a bit dated and in need of a bit of tlc. 4 cask ales on, unimaginative but kept well. AlRobis - 28 Sep 2008 18:17 |
| After a very troubled time, the dear old John O'Gaunt may finally be finding its feet again. Forget what it once was though, those days ended a couple of landlords back.. But what it's becoming shows promise again. The current manager's friendly and competant, the atmosphere's good, but it's the music which really gives me hope. Many of the same old trusted musicians play here, and it's great stuff. However there are signs of fresh talent moving in and some younger, different bands being booked. There's even talk of an Indie night! I love this pub. I've remained faithful to it through the tough times but had started to despair that it could ever be the great pub it once was. Then, just recently, things began to turn around and I saw a definite improvement. We all loved the smokey old jazz venue it once was. But times change, and maybe what it's becoming might be just as exciting. Goodtime - 30 Jul 2008 18:37 |
| Decent old-fashioned old school boozer - beer well kept, although selection was a bit unimaginative. Rich66 - 3 Jul 2008 22:39 |
| been in a few times lately but it has lost its buzz, 3 changes of management this year! Can't be good or is it a sign that no one wants this pub to work? loopilou1411 - 17 Jun 2008 19:46 |
| I've rated this pub as poor as it's a mere shadow of its former self. The pub is generally unkept and tired, it's one thing to attempt to be "authentic" - it's another just to be scruffy. The new owner hasn't advanced the place one inch, still selling "Bambi Burgers" and still employing the same desperately slow bar staff. In my opinion it's become a parody of itself.
