Had a really bad visit here a few months ago, two hours for our meals and the manageress was short with us when we asked after our order, last week a friend arranged for us to go here and I was really dreading it. It was not the same place, seems like a new manager, staff were smiling and friendly, looked like a new head chef and food came out quick and perfect, stayed all day and will definitely be back

Frankly not worth the bother

Have been living round the corner on and off since Sep 2004 and the Calf has gone seriously downhill since then. I think they changed management at the end of last year? Anyway, half the beers are always off, the one's that are "on" often taste distinctly dubious and I wouldn't dare touch the food. Bar staff are pleasant enough but there is the small matter of communication issues...

food overpriced for what it is - we're not talking gourmet fare here. Staff are pleasant enough and do their best .It's not so much that their English isn't up to scratch but that no one has given them any training. The other night, the barmaid had never heard of port. The Open Mic night on tuesdays can be fun . Wish I'd known it in the 90s as described by sexysadie but sadly it's a much, much duller place now.

Popped in just after Xmas in the hope that I'd see a few familiar faces from the past but alas not.Times move on.This place in the mid to late 90's was absolutely jumping.It was run by an Aussie called Glen and every Saturday there were two brill welsh guys in a band playing.There must have been 400 people plus in.Great atmospere,singalongs,never any trouble.When people were qeueing for drinks he'd have a bin full of cans and bottles so turnover was lighning fast.One new years eve there were over 500 people in here.Fantastic memories.Dodgy pint when I returned.Bar staff friendly enough but too young to remember the good old days.7/10 for the memories.
