| I thought I would brave this pub again yesterday, I wish I never did. The bar staff were the same, just standing around talking, and I get the feeling they dont care and just doing it for the money. I observed males sat at the bar who appeared drunk and were still being served. The bar was sticky and dirty from beer. And I have to agree with the last post, the music at weekends is poor, and it is just noise, I cant say I have seen a good band in their. Mind you most of the customers are so off thier hands I dont think it really matters. The Saturday I was their I saw a man enjoying a white power. I am sorry, I am only being trueful, this is one pub I will never return to. Ale_Lover - 19 Apr 2012 16:28 |
| I have to agree with a lot of the previous posts, cliquey, dirty, bar staff that aren't interested in serving people and has attracted the worst of the local people. When you first go in you think it could be a gem but the illusion soon fades. The decor is tired but would be ok if it was clean. Take a look at the loos and think what the kitchen must be like. Eat here and you'll be worried (rightly or wrongly) about what you might get. The worst thing for me is the music, can't the management tell the difference between noise and music? Most of the bands they have on are dire! If you catch them on a night with no music and avoid the food (and the long haired lush from the store over the road) its not too bad. Those nights are rare though JoshuaB - 6 Mar 2012 22:54 |
| In my most recent visit to this pub, I was very disapointed. It took me an age to be served while the bar staff were just standing around talking to each other. A big disapointment. Ale_Lover - 1 Jan 2012 17:17 |
| One of those pubs you think twice about going in but once settled you realise it was a good decision made - Youngs and London Pride ale on offer (possibly one more but it had been a long afternoon), both well kept made all the better by the warm welcome from staff. goodhead - 15 Dec 2011 00:43 |
| The pub itself isn't bad at all - it could probably use a makeover though traditionalists will cry out no Ive been in here several times and the service has always been friendly and curteous. It has some benches front and back, and live entertainment and quiz nights scattered throughout. My biggest gripe is that theres a very clique vibe to the patrons here in which some live and die down here, and it can give an 'our pub' mentality to proceedings the_original_rawnsleys - 2 Nov 2011 12:24 |
