| This pub has improved a lot over the last few weeks, thanks to the new manager(s). Customer service is noticably better with quicker bar service. Excellent beer quality and choice (usually 6 or 7 guest ales) and customers are encouraged to request their favourite beers. There is currently a 50p per pint discount for card-carrying Camra members. I shall continue to spend my beer allowance at this pub! electrophotic - 26 Jan 2012 11:47 |
| Usual Spoons pub. Had steak and Chips. The steak was good but the chips were of the instant mash variety, just mush inside. The first 2 beers i asked for had run out so not a good start there either. rpf1955 - 20 Nov 2011 18:25 |
| Fairly standard Wetherspoons. Narrow with a lowish ceiling & generally good atmosphere. If you are a CAMRA member then show your card for a 10% discount on real ales (correct as of March 2011). I've also noticed from the local CAMRA website that the management are pro-active in engaging with branch members over various issues. It was slightly unfortunate that on my visit the Acorn - Challenger IPA was like a pint of vinegar. Fair play, it was swapped without question, however the barman never asked me what was wrong with my beer or even which pump it had come from. happytyskie - 18 Mar 2011 14:23 |
| Standard spoons format. Interior felt dark. Usual mix of clients enjoying the early evening. Choice of ale included local offering which was ok. Leicesterbeer - 30 Sep 2009 09:54 |
| Unfortunately, the recent improvement that this pub has seen has not lasted. Having avoided the place for a number of years after countless poor quality pints, I had begun to frequent the pub again. I was slightly pleased to see that it had been given a refurbishment recently, but like at lot of Wetherspoon pubs it is easy to see that cost cutting measures had been taking resulting in the new panelling already showing signs of wear and tear and even behind the bar falling off. As for the ales, I was almost delighted to bring some of my friends with me over the past few months to show how a little effort and a manager that listens can make a huge difference. Gone were the days of only having Pedigree and Abbot to choose from. In came a good range of ales as the staff even had basic knowledge of them. But, alas, it wasn’t to last as they are back to serving what I can only describe as cloudy vinegar. Oh, a word of advise, never try and take it back to the female manager as when I did I got the old groans and moans and as she walked off a few choice words were just audible from under her breath. My advise go around the corner to the new one. The choice may be limited but I had a fabulous Cheshire Cat their last week and a promise that it will be returning. aleman1982 - 19 Aug 2009 22:48 |
