Visited on a quiet Sunday night..there were about half a dozen blokes in there who were all completely pissed. The foreign barman couldn't understand my order of an 'Adnams' and got a cider instead.....gave up
The place seems clean and bright and probably on a different day it would have been fine.
|
....this is a cool cool pub and the change of management has brought a much needed breath of fresh air - much improved, keep up the good work.
|
Ok but not great, went in despite the massive "home fans only" signs and the attempts of the bouncers to engage conversation (a nod covered that one).
|
I come here alot. Veryy good place to drink.. Taps are always clean, food is GREAT!! the staff are the reason I come here so much.. they are always very welcoming to people, I have never witnessed any problems here. the music is great!! always a variation! something that this town really needs! go here and try it for yourself...

abromer, sounds like you came in on the wrong day, they cater for all types of people so some days there will be a younger crowd. The swan is a great pub all the staff are friendly and even when they have been "one in, one out" ive never waited 20mins for a drink!!
excellent place to go for music, probly the best in East Anglia, saw Mumford and sons last year, DJ Format, hot club de Paris.
i reccomend this pub to any real music lovers, brilliant night out.

worst pub of the night for full of cras yobs and ruder staff
|
Good little boozer; Adnams beer nice and well kept - perfect for a pre-match pint.
|
Changed management recently. Has removed the juke box but plays music and hosts live bands of the inide variety. Certainly a change from the usual drivel that many town pubs play continually. From an ale perspective they had a choice of three on my visit: Adnams Explorer, Landlord and Hobgoblin, in addition it looked as though the Adnams Best had only just run out.
|
Best pub in town. Garden is cracking in the summer, music is brilliant, pool table, really nice bar staff, excellent atmosphere. Forget the hating, this place is the dog's bollocks.
WHOOP WHOOP
|
Good atmosphere, friendly, but overpriced.
|
Hmmm, not sure what GreenAndWhite has been smoking. I can only echo what NorthernMonkey has said - stay off the crack.
I stand by my first comment - highly recommended, and will continue to be one of the few pubs I still go to regularly.
|
GREENANDWHITE what utter b*ll*cks you speak. drug dealers and prostitutes?? so you are the type of person that would know what they look like? use them often do you? this is a great pub and will only keep getting better, especially with the new management in charge. my advice to you is lay of the crack my friend it ruins your life. and those prostitutes you are so familiar with may give you some sort of ghastly std. just some friendly advice use it wisely. haha
|
Very probably the worst pub in the world, whether it be before or after Autumn 2007, hahahaha.
Unfriendly, rubbish 'real' ale, ghastly music, an apparent abundance of working girls and dealers, smelly, disgusting toilets.
To sum up - The Pits.
Reviewers like Daigoro and gary-p must be very easily pleased, permanently drunk or drugged or just plain idiots to say they enjoy this sh1t hole..
|
Great pub, great music, great atmosphere, great staff. erm....well...what can i say....it's a great pub!
|
Been going here a lot recently since the new management, friendly staff and a good choice of music! Red pool table, resident friday DJ Onion, live bands on occasion, the new boss seems to be making a real effort to turn the place around....
I dunno what "macca56" is talking about, maybe he's basing his opinion on what it was like before Autumn last year? hahaha
Highly recommended pub, it's one of the few I still go to regularly!
|
What a dive. Horrible. Lousy choice of beer. Unfriendly staff. The sort of place you could spend �1,000s of pounds in and still be treated like rubbish. A total waste as it has a great location. Avoid.
|
not a bad pint of GK IPA presuming it was GK IPA! Nice comfy sofa n a decent juke box, guy who served me reminded me of one of the team captains on never mind the buzzcocks lol, 7/10
|
The only pub I have ever visited in my life to be told that the Guinness had 'gone off'. Poor service,vaguely unpleasant atmosphere,filthy toilets.
|
This is a nice pub. Always one good beer on. If your on the high street and dont want to walk far its a good choice. 6/10
|
Since the pub has had a new owner, this pub has improved and the atmosphere is ideal for all ages and ethnic minorities.
