Agree with previous comments. Menu's mediocre, beer's mediocre, atmosphere's non existent and cleanliness is poor. Might be OK if you're a football fanatic - which I'm not.

Do not bother, this place always has been and always will be a shite hole. Avoid.

Had some time to kill before meeting a friend so went here to find it was closed at 11.30am on a busy Saturday (18th Dec).

A week before Xmas and also Bath Rugby were home to Ulster with a 1.30pm k.o. and this palce was closed!

A surprisingly large pub with entrances at both the front and the rear on to Walcott Street. There’s several different areas inside with a large central bar and a smaller lounge of to the rear, and a large room at the back with a pool table and darts board as well as a large projection screen although this was not in use on our visit. One wall here is built of Bath stone which is a change from the rest of the pub.

There are a few other TV’s dotted around, and a few of the punters seemed to be enjoying the football that was on. Mrs. B was none to keen on having to squeeze through a group of these blokes to get to the loo, and when she did get there found that one of them was blocked, no doubt due to the fact that the hand dryer was broken and everyone was throwing paper towels down the pan. The gents was no better being dark and dingy, and this was also blocked. The staff seemed pleasant enough, although seemed a bit distracted.

The food offering is fairly typical of what you’d expect with a large laminated menu divided in to several sections such as Lite Bites, Grills Pub Classics, Burgers, Mains, etc., and offering all sorts of price led promotions, such as curry nights, burger nights and grill nights. However, with the only drinks on offer as part of these deals being John Smith’s Extra Smooth or Fosters, they’re unlikely to tempt too many people I would have thought. Breakfasts are available from £1.99 or £2.99 if you want an extra sausage and chips (!).

Beers on tap were Buckley’s Best, Greene King IPA and 6X. There was a fourth pump on the bar but this did not appear to be in use. Ciders were Blackthorn and Strongbow.

The place stinks (literally). It needs a major clean. The ale is awful (I left most of it) and being there made me feel physically sick. Go anywhere else.
