On the 23 June 2007,a Elvis singer turned up at this pub & so did a band, they left as it was a double booking, Elvis performed all night, & not once through the night did the landlady come up & say that he was not her cup of tea, he did his 1 half/2 hours the crowd liked him, but at the end of the night, the landlady refused to pay because, now let me put it like this SHE PERSONALLY DID NOT LIKE HIM, crap he deserved his money, he did the gig, i am sorry but i have been in this buisiness along time, & i would not have left without the full payment, he should have stood his ground & told her that he was not leaving without his money, she has taken the p**s, she has let him do his job all night & at the end f****d him off with a lame excuse, why didn't she pay him off after the 1st 10 or 15 mins, i hate people like that,she took money behind the bar, he kept the punters in & they spent money & they had a good night, i am in equity & there is know way on gods earth that i personally would not leave any premises without any well earned money, Elvis did his job, & he should be paid in full, i am sorry i am going on, but this just makes me mad, & i will do everything in my power for a boycot of all entertainers in this place, nobody should be treated in this way.

Nice pub for socialising over a pint & some food, Brian used to own this pub & also owned, The Royal William iv & Ye Old Crown, he has retired from it now i think he sold the last 2, but handed Blandings over to his daughter, been around for years has Brian, always say hello to him when i pass him in the street.

Alright if you r going there for a booked party but otherwise forget it, to far out of the city for my likin, if you want it for food there is plenty more good estsablishments nearer to home.

Alright if you want to walk on a soggy sticky carpet all night, not my cup of tea.

Went here once, never again �30 for 2 drinks & 2 meals crikey, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask, & if you havn't got a car, you've got to get there by boat, & that's around �5 each an expensive couple of hours just for some grub.

A nice pub with good grub & reasonably priced, on the corner of Castle Square & The Strait, strait who r they kiddin, you need a drink & some vitamins after you have walked up this bugga.

Very small & i mean VERY SMALL lounge, your front room in probably bigger i know mine is, but it is friendly & does a good pint, sited uphill back end of the Castle & Cathedral, very old pub & i think most probably haunted, OOOOOOOOHHHH

Ok for food & drink & celebrity spotting if there is anyone famous on across the road at the Theatre Royal, sometimes go in after the show, i have seen Patrick Mower, Linda Lusardi, Lewis Collins, Nigel Havers, Anna Karen (Olive, On The Buses) Dennis Waterman & several others.

Overpriced drinks & overpriced food, pay �6 for something & you want a decent plateful, not here i'm afraid, never again.

Ah thank god for Witherspoons, i don't think, alright for meeting up before hitting the proper pubs.
16 Jun 2005 19:43
Has Karaoke nights & sometimes live bands, does food & is a stonesthrow from me.
16 Jun 2005 19:39
Typical Witherspoons pay for what you get, i don't mind cheap beer but the atmosphere is crap, you can't chat up a bit of totty without a smoochy dance now can ya.
16 Jun 2005 19:37
Alright for a once a week night out, because at �7 for 2 drinks you need a 2nd mortgage, have at least �70 in your pocket, the music is good a range from the 60s to today always enjoy myself when i go in there, a good night out.

Wouldn't go into this pub if you paid me, full of idiots, one of my family who came to see us went in there once because we were not in & he fancied a pint, he told me the looks that he got were unbeleivable, like he shouldn't be in there, his wife was crapping herself & wanted to go, but my brother in law sat & ordered 2 drinks one for him & one for her, he told her i am not moving we are here for a drink & we are going to have a drink, what a brave man but he left unscathed & in one piece, the times i have walked past there & the windows have been put in i cannot count, if you are not recognised as a local drinker in this pub stay away, you have been warned.

Jailhouse Rock to give it it's full name, after Elvis of course, very small full of students on a music night think that there all Robbie Williams, only go when they have a good band on, which isn't very often, otherwise i would rather shag my granny.

Nice little local, near Sincil Bank, don't get many in but it's friendly.
16 Jun 2005 19:19
Great pub on the Brayford water front, nice in the summer where you can sit outside with a pie & a pint watching the totty go by.

The Cutler, North Anston
Thanx Stables entertainment, my mate was supposed to be doing his Elvis tribute there on the 19th July, he had a phone call saying he was cancelled because the pub was losing money & the guy who ran it was leaving, my mate has sang there twice before going down brilliantly, but i see there is a full entertainment package & a Robbie Williams tribute is on the night he should have been on, i think he has been cancelled under false pretenses as there is a Elvis tribute on a week before my mate should have been on, the whole thing stinks & artists should not be treated this way.
