Pluses include high quality beer, location near the cathedral and plenty of space. The downside comprises rather tacky interior, somewhat offhand staff and a menu that is clearly using a caterer or chain. May be a pub to frequent only at quieter times

A dirty old mans pub. sub standard food, cheap alcohol, rude and inexperienced staff (louise),overly keen to ban anybody.

From the posters outside advertising their meals it looked like every dish came with chips.
Once inside and looking at the diners plates most of them did indeed have chips on. I may be wrong but the food didn't look home made. I'll guess it is supplied by a chain group.
One thing I was impressed with was the bar having four real-ale hand-pumps. But then on closer inspection I was unimpressed that only one was on.
I walked out. And so should you.

Cheap food, lazy uninterested service. Decent deals on beer, half decent crowd.

I go in there once or twice a week.Sometimes as on a weekend there are none of the 3 real ales on which I find absolutely maddening.Some of the staff are ok and polite some of the time.The thing that makes me think 'yuk' is there fact that the 'chef' comes out of the kitchen and puts their frame into the door frame in the main bar so that you can see that he is wearing dirty tracksuit bottoms,off-white trainers and a grubby T-shirt.That has put me off buying food in there everytime.The pub does seem to attract some of the local 'celebrities' meaning the Stella drinking ladies who punctuate the air with their F's and C words.The food ordering system has alot to be desired as I have watched folk from coach parties leave taking their dinner with them in tin foil,with gravy dripping out of the sides! I understand that pubs have to make money but not appreciating the cooking time etc is totally wrong and so is not refunding any/part cost of the meal due to the staffs fault...........3/10 food service,7/10 actual food,7/10 real ale (when on) and staff 5/10
