| In defence of John Bonser, he wasn't actually saying that the pub being in an area with a lot of Cypriots/Turks was a bad thing per se... just that the pub's business would probably be more profitable/busier in an area made up largely of people who tick the 'white british' box on the census as, by and large, they tend to drink more than Turks (who are mostly muslims and not meant to drink, therefore not very frequent pub customers). As it happens, I like the fact that the Salisbury serves a wide array of people (like it or not, there are still pubs where non-whites get funny looks or worse, and it's a good thing that the Salisbury isn't one of them), and think it a fairly good pub, though a slightly wider ale selection would be nice. Oh, and architecturally it's beautiful. pablos13 - 19 Aug 2008 16:39 |
| I visit often. Beer good and staff relaxed re. clientele getting blootered. Clean the bloody toilets, though - they stink continuously. Too many braying turds also. dusty_crumbatch - 11 Aug 2008 19:42 |
| The Salisbury is one of my local boozers, and believe it or not was the deciding factor for buying our place just down the road! Three years later and we're still pretty happy with our choice. My only gripe? A chunky mortgage means we've not managed to frequent this top draw pub as much as we've wanted to! Can't really comment about the staff; they are no better or worse than I've experienced anywhere else. But as the bar is big and pretty much wraps around the centre of the pub, I too have been waiting a while to get served on previous occasions. My tip is to go to the main part of the bar where the staff can see you better. The beer is fine and there is a good enough choice of ales and E. European lagers. Haven't eaten here for a while so can't comment on the grub. However, the decor is fantastic and makes this place a real gem IMHO. Note to management: one thing that may go well with the regulars and passing trade down here is a good old fashioned piano and pianist (for maybe one night per week?). The jukebox is fair enough, but it would be great to hear someone tinkling the ivories down there once in a while. Would be a definite USP in this day and age and may help bring back a little soul to this great pub and give it a bit of a talking point. I like it! UglyInsider - 16 Jun 2008 17:49 |
| Note to JohnBonser....actually, the majority of people who drink in The Salisbury are not Turkish or Cypriots. That is the beauty of the place - it is a mish-mash of all ethnic communities and backgrounds. You really should try to broaden your mind a little, and if you don't like the location or clientele, you should do as dalglish suggests and go drink in a pub somewhere within an "English Community". strange_little_girl - 12 May 2008 13:30 |
| Usually a good night out at the weekend if there is a band or DJ on, but otherwise can lack atmosphere. The jukebox is great and the bar staff are friendly enough, if somewhat slow to serve. The food is okay, from what I've tried, and not badly priced. All-in-all, not a bad place, but as I mentioned before, can be a bit lifeless. strange_little_girl - 12 May 2008 13:26 |
