| My name is Nick andI have just taken over Walkers and only opened it on the 4th September, though we have redecorated it the place is by no means finished. Hopefully RogerB will visit again in a month or so and like the hanges we will have made to the place. Nickhill - 17 Sep 2007 21:05 |
| The name conjures up images of an old wine vault with cobwebs, old barrels and dusty bottles stacked up to the ceiling so I was a bit surprised to find that WOSJ is little more than a basic, functional but fairly cosy bar that appears to trade on a posh and rather pretentious name. Once through the reception like entrance, a short flight of stairs takes you into a quite spacious but rather dark split level bar. Being below street level, there is no natural light and the initial impressions as you descend are that this is a gloomy and rather soulless place. The previous postings appear to be a bit out of date as I saw no sign of a pool table, no “big man” and the prices are certainly not cheap compared to some of the other pubs in the area. The bar area has bare wooden floors and to the rear is a raised section with carpeted, screened off areas, built in leather seats and lots of fake wooden beams in an attempt to replicate an olde worlde flavour. The dark nature of the bar is kept up by the textured walls that are painted in a dark, rich burgundy and what illumination there is comes from some quite unusual lamps and the 2 large plasma screens (nothing anywhere mentioned anything about having Sky). There were 2 Real Ales on my visit - Deuchers (£3.00) and Pedigree (didn’t stick around to check price) plus 1 redundant pump. Service was fine although it was fairly quiet at the time. Overall, a neat, tidy and comfortable place but ultimately lacking any real character. There are far better options within a short walk. RogerB - 14 Sep 2007 10:57 |
| Er...except you can't watch football there because, according to the barmaid, they don't have Sky Sports. Oh well, reasonable (and reasonably cheap) pint whilst I waited under the misapprehension that I might be able to watch a game there the other night. Then I went somewhere better. burnsy - 15 Sep 2006 15:38 |
| It is a good pub ( although I am not qualified to comment ) There is a big statue of the big man in the corner which we salute on the way in Rich Bolch - 8 Nov 2004 13:38 |
| good pub if you want a quick drink after work, or a longer one while playing pool (the table is smallish but the pool "room" nice). The new staff is very friendly, and now they've got TV screens, you can also watch football there. sandrine - 28 Sep 2004 15:50 |
