| Has potential but the management changes so often it never has a chance to establish itself. Keep trying different things e.g. strip nights, DJ's etc, karaoke all of which were good but they keep chopping and changing all the time and don't promote things or give things a chance to get established. 3 or so changes of management in as many months doesn't help. A pub that lacks a sense of identity, a large venue with lots of untapped potential, until people see it as "the place to go" and know what to expect on certain nights e.g. karaoke every Saturday etc they will continue to pop in for a pint on their way to the Litten Tree or G's The_Cider_Monster - 14 Mar 2008 14:18 |
| Not a family pub Only go in here if your a Navvy/builder and appreciate a bit of the rough and ready anonymous - 17 May 2007 09:37 |
| Used this place a couple of years ago, but seems to have gone downhill. Bit of a "dive" now anonymous - 22 Jan 2007 15:06 |
| Bit of a rough and ready pub and pretty big. Clientele can be a bit tough to guage whether they want to pick a fight because "you looked at my missus" or "spilled my pint". Big place, pool tables and air hockey. Not a place for the quiet night out. Music is good when it isn't too loud. Staff are generally alright and the beer is pretty good. Nothing particularly wrong with the place but when the army lads are out on leave on a Friday/Saturday night you might want to give the place a bit of a wide berth. anonymous - 26 Sep 2006 15:17 |
| Has always had a reputation for being a "rough" pub, however, this dates back to its days when it was called "Leos" over 10 years ago. These days it is a lively and fun venue, and has been pointed out before, the staff are always very friendly. A change of management is due soon, hopefully it won't lead to a down turn. Recommended.
