| Nice enough looking pub with lots of potential, but when visited all 3 ales were "still settling",it took bout 5mins to get served even though the pub was all but empty,and the cd they were playing had about 6 tracks and i even heard the all saints twice in bout half n hour, 6/10 deff could be better run fat_beer_badger - 17 Jul 2008 21:44 |
| Very poor in every respect. Poor food, poor beer and poor service. Someone here needs to sort this shambles out soon. chopin - 11 Jun 2008 09:02 |

| I totally agree with everything said by the previous contributor. I would also like to add that if you fancy a pint served this way, check out the angle at which the cask is lying at. When they are nearly empty the rear of the cask is lifted up so they can get all of the slops out. It's best therefore to choose a beer from a cask that is lying horzontal, as this will be newer. Having said this, I followed my own advice and was still sold a pint of sour beer. I won't be going back to this pub. Brahmsandliszt - 14 May 2007 21:37 |
| This pub is run by Heavitree, in Exeter. The idea of having barrels on the back bar is one they have in nearly all of their pubs. God knows why IT DOESN'T WORK. It is possible to have a cooling system for doing this, but this is obviously too expensive for these cheapskates. The beer gets too warm, it goes off too quickly, and every time a pint gets served, the equivilant volume of air gets sucked into the cask to replace the beer. In a cellar, this means cool clean air. In a bar it means smoke, sweat and farts. STICK TO THE PUMPS! cellarbuoy - 11 Jan 2007 23:51 |
