| The pub is basically one long room, with food served down the far end and the pub and bar by the entrance. There is also a cellar, where folk and other music nights have been held. Its often busy, so the service is functional rather than friendly and the food is fine. I dont think it is as dirty as others have made out. gillhalfpint hits it on the head when she says it could do with a bit of a spruce up, as it doesnt glow like a kid after Ready Break, but talk of rats is unfair, i think. The choice of ales is excellent, along with Theakston's MILD, always means we visit this place. The MILD is consistantly good, sadly, not all of the other beers are. Last night was an example of this, but in general they are very good. Whilst i would rate this pub higher than cannockchaser has, he is completely right, as far as i am concerned, in the fact that it should score even higher. Archivist - 20 Jun 2009 13:00 |
| I dread to think what the supposed hotel is going to be like if the state of his pub is anything to go by.... Rumour has it the rats have even left its so dirty. p1sshead - 18 May 2009 00:03 |
| If you are visiting the Robin2 for music, then drink here beforehand. A mini - beer festival is guaranteed on any given day - 12 real ales on offer on my last visit, including bitters, milds, porters,microbrews and some 8% Fullers product that should have come with a danger sign on the pump clip! The carvery also looked bostin'! dableywolf - 26 Apr 2009 22:06 |
| This pub has to be the best in the area. OK it could do with a bit of a clean up, but the carvery is one of the best I have ever been to for heaps of tender meat and loads of veg superbly cooked. The price is so very reasonable too for the amount of choice. On to the ales and what can I say. At this visit we stayed longer than planned as the choice was great, and all in tip top condition. One to stop off the metro for any time. gillhalfpint - 8 Feb 2009 12:15 |
| What a strange place. If first impressions were anything to go by you would turn around and walk right out the door. Grotty would be an understatement. I dont know who does the cleaning but a P45 would perhaps be the owners first action. The staff were friendly enough, but a little bit of attention to personal appearance wouldnt go amiss. Bar staff isnt so much a problem, but the staff in the kitchen should make more of an effort,. Especially when they are serving on a carvery. The beers.. What can you say.. the choice is stupendous. I've only seen a choice like this in one other pub. If you cant find a drink you like in this pub you wont find one anywhere. The real ales are all satisfactory. Not the best I hasten to add, but certainly ddrinkable. THe prices are a bit high, but in this current climate thats the way it goes. This pub does have charm, and could definitely be the top pub in the area. Just the owner needs to pay a bit more attention to cleanliness and hygiene. A lot more attention in fact. This pub is wonderful, or could be wonderful if the owner would improve his standards of cleanliness and appearance. His standards with refards to what he offers is exceptional. His standards with regards to the qualify of what he offers and cleanliness are to be quite honest, severely lacking.. I will rate this pub 6/10. It could be a 9 if the owner had higher standards. cannockchaser - 21 Oct 2008 15:30 |
