| Good olde pub. TheSensiblePubReviewer - 10 Aug 2008 17:09 |
| A decent local. Good quiz on Tuesday nights. Never been served a bad pint, but service can be slow on a busy Friday or Saturday night. Dart board (tiny area and board could use replacing) and fruit machines. Other clubs/activities there too. I wouldn't call the place rough, but clearly a bit of an element remains - overheard a punter's conversation about a stolen motorbike a couple weeks ago. It also seems to be the place for builders to rub elbows in the late afternoons. gypsygrrl - 25 Mar 2008 16:50 |
| Yes, good pub, but beware! The service can be dreadfully slow on Saturday lunchtimes. Similarly, on weekday afternoons bar staff will think nothing of leaving customers waiting at the bar while they go outside for a cigarette. An unmanned bar is a bad comment on management. anonymous - 2 Oct 2007 00:29 |
| One of the better pubs in Farnborough (though in fairness there's not a great deal of competition!). Good reasonably priced food and a good range of well kept beers, though they do tend to be a little overpriced. In fact, the beers are probably the most expensive - along with the "Thatched Cottage" - in Farnborough. For example, there is a massive difference of 25p a pint of Stella between here and the Ham & Blackbird. The "Courthouse" barstaff are generally pleasant and helpful, but I'd pick out Katrina ("Kat"), who works weekday lunchtimes for special mention. In an age when one is lucky to even be greeted by barstaff, Kat makes a point of acknowledging customers even when she is busy serving. Just a little touch, but the discerning customer really appreciates a simple "I'll be with you as quickly as I can". Bar staff take note! Attitude can be somewhat brusque at closing time, which is bloody irritating if you've just spent the evening putting a lot of money into the till! Overall, a good pub worth visiting, though like so many pubs these days there's very little atmosphere and it can be clicquish. Consumer1 - 6 Aug 2007 17:56 |
| A decent boozer. Nothing fancy, but the people are friendly with a good few characters. Steer clear of the pub opposite though. paullyp - 15 Jul 2007 18:34 |
