Warm welcome, attentive staff, generous meals, discounts for seniors (take your Parents)...
This pub really has a personality, I would recommend a visit

After our visit today I can honestly say that I shall never return to this place again. I ordered my food at the bar from a girl who did not tell me that there was a wait on food, my wife overheard another member of staff telling their customer there was a 30 min wait on food, thinking that we could cope with an extra half hour (presumably not including cooking time) we decided we could cope. After 50 mins we asked a waiter if he could find out where our food was, he was very polite and told us that we should have been told there was an hour wait on food orders, as this was not the case we asked to speak to the manager and he quickly returned with her. The manager was not only unhelpful but she actually implied that it was somehow our fault, she then said that all the food was cooked but there wasn't enough staff on to get it all out quick enough and that buy talking to us more people would have to wait longer for there food, not once did she apologise. a full hour after we ordered our waiter (still smiling despite all the complaints from neighbouring tables) brought our food over only to find that the girl who took the order in the first place had missed one of our 4 meals off, I was quite angry by this point yet this young man assured me that he could get the chef to cook my wife's meal in a few short minutes free of charge, true enough in just under 7 minutes he returned with her meal.
I shall never step foot in that place again, but if anyone reads this who works for The Original Pub Company I would strongly urge you to find that waiter (in his 20's, well built, black male with a shaved head) who worked on Good Friday AND PROMOTE HIM OR MOVE HIM TO A BETTER SITE, and I would seriously question why that awful woman should be working there

The food is inconsistent and over priced. The bar is well stocked and has a nice look to it (if a little faded) The staff have virtually no product knowledge and seem to believe that "fill lines" are where the head of a pint should be. This could be a great venue with a little maintenance and training!

An absolute hole, this place makes me cringe!

I would highly recommend the cider here not only because it is only �2 for a pint but because it is a very nice drop. The staff here are very helpful and have a great way of making you feel welcome, after a few visits my wife and I were on first name terms with Leon and David the two lads who seem to be on duty any time you go in. They've even added real ales and in the summer they have a bar on the roof.
The only reason I haven't given full marks is because I've seen the head chef in the toilets in his whites and apron -which is why we don't eat there anymore. Despite this I would recommend a look for a very stylish bar with a low tariff, friendly staff and a warm atmophere

A great venue to end a weekend night out as none of the local clubs cater for anyone out of their 20's (or as most say over 24)
No Real Ales to speak of however the drinks prices aren't to bad and the soundtrack is sublime (once a month even Gem Atkins does a turn on the decks if anyone remembers the days when Sugar/Smack was "cool" before it became "sick" to the kids born of the 90's)
All in all worth a visit

Seemed quite inviting, but the service was sloooow, not cheap but the decor was nice and it's a great spot to watch the football if you can't fit in to The Duke across the street.
