| It’s not often I am unsure what to write about a pub. Having thought for some time what to say, I decided simply recollecting my first memory of the pub would be all the illustration I would need. My first visit to this pub was a pleasant enough experience. I had an hour to kill and this place had a car park, so why not? The service was friendly and polite, the beer cold and nice, and the locals a mixture of indifference and the usual misguided annoyance at there being a ‘random’ in their pub. I took up position at the bar and proceeded to feign interest with what in the blue hell Kerry Katona was now doing (the papers at hand being The Sun and The Mirror). Instead, however, whilst I enjoyed my beer, I listened to what the regulars had to say for themselves. The conversation was pleasing to the ear, or perhaps my mind. It reminded me of my own local or any local, a group of drinkers pretending not to gossip while the barmaid pleaded with them to tell her the juicy details of ‘Daves’ internet date interspersed with comments about there being ‘something not right’ with Dynamo the ‘wee magic man’. I think for regular visitors to pubs, it’s a good indication of what you can expect. A friendly local pub to pass the time and enjoy the company of others. Unfortunately, as it’s not particularly busy, they no longer offer food and you can often find that not everything is available on tap. Sky sports on big flat screens and karaoke on Saturday night however, will hopefully keep this place open for as long as possible. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 19 Oct 2011 15:12 |
| I would agree with the last poster this place is much better than the other Pub up the road. This is much more of a Real traditional Pub with a good atmosphere and things I like too see in a Pub Good Staff friendly & welcoming. I will visit again when I'm Passing. half_tuppence - 11 Oct 2010 01:44 |
| This is not a bad Pub in my opinion its more of a traditional Pub with Pool Darts & TV. I find it much better than the other local horrible Gastro Pubs at least this place don't get full of Young Kids or non drinkers sitting on low stools drinking coffee it seems a proper drinkers Pub had a good selection Of Beers & Lagers but only one Ale on. I found other customers & Staff very welcoming & frendly I would definitely go in here again if I'm in the area as theres no other Real Pubs locally Except the cavalier and thats more of a restaurant for non drinkers.

| This is a reasonably sized pub with a beer garden hedged off from the main road and a covered terrace. The usual lagers were available, but the two ale pumps were off on my visit. I found the staff and the regulars to be very offish, like I had just walked into their private members only party. It has 3 pool tables and a dart board, but quite a few pubs in the area have these facilities so in my opinion there isn’t really any reason to even think of drinking here.
