A SAD PUB. CRYING OUT FOR A NEW OWNER OR MANAGEMENT IN AN AREA THAT REQUIRES A GOOD ENGLISH BITTER & LAGER PUB. TOILETS DIRTY AND SMELLY. BEER BADLY PRESENTED. TOLD THE FOODS OKAY; BUT PUT OFF BY TOILETS AND BEER.

Cosy enough and feels like a proper local. Courage Best was allright but no more than. I can imagine that the events and what have you are good, but as people have said the atmosphere isn't all that.

I've never risked the ales (I notice they have Landlord now though), but service is friendly and efficient. The food really is excellent. The photocopied menu of standards might lead you to expect normal microwave fare, but everything I have tried has been really nicely done.

This is a nice pub - some of the Victorian bits remain. All carpet gone, so a little noisy. Not too busy, nice jazz music not too loud.
What the ale commentators below say is, unfortunately, pretty much true.
It's Pride or Courage, and although they're not off, they are, well, tepid. Some prefer that, but I'm in the "cellar temparature" gang, and I think the beer survives better kept like that too.

Since it's all subjective fartingghost, I take your point. However, your comments are entirely subjective too - there's more to a pub than just the serving of ale (although I am inclined to agree with your assesment here). Having visited a few more times recently, it does appear that the ale isn't being kept very well, which is a real shame.

But, on balance, I think that the refurbishment was neccessary, and, like ChrisF, am pleased that my girlfriend and her mates will now enter the place! Hopefully the new owners will sort out the ale situation, as it is a real let down.
