Not a bad place. Beer is usually cheap between 10:00 and 12:00. Food reasonable as well. I've tried the Bass and TT Landlord. Both quite good

Small (but historic) pub more or less bang in the centre of town. On the passageway between the Cornmarket (street) and Market Hall. Easy enough to find from the latter, but otherwise is through a small archway more or less opposite James Street. There are two adjacant entrances that appear to let to different places – but rest assured it is all the same establishment.

Inside it is pleasant enough, more or less open plan with fawn seating, and various items on the walls, including “tigerabelia” and what appeared to be Geoff Hurst’s world cup final winning shirt. Reasonably popular with pleasant bar staff.

Whichever entrance you use, the bar is on the left. £ real ales were available, Bass, Pedigree and Taylors Landlord (my choice). I was surprised to be asked if I wanted it served through a sparkler or not. Food is available, but I didn’t try it.

Finally, a word of warning. There is a sign outside giving beer prices, including £2.85 for a pint of Landlord – but I was charged £1.75 for a half !!

5/10 – a pleasant enough place for those not prepared to venture further afield.

Not too bad - better than it used to be. A couple of decent ales on. TT Landlord wasn't bad even if a bit pricey

Not as bad as people make out. Beer usually kept well. Pedigree now gone but I had a pint of Directors which was in fine fettle though quite pricey. Customers mixed and varied but usually friendly enough. Staff friendly too.

This is not a good place
Funny smell when you walk in and its not from the fish market
Lots of strange looking people, claustrophobic and only sells either lager or bitter.
This is a real dump and looks like a regulars pub.

as someone said, toilets are awful. Avoid.

As it's not huge on ale I hadn't visited before. Though I was very satisfied when I did. The only ales on were Bass and Pedi (I had the Bass which was good, not perfect, but still enjoyable). The food on the other hand, in my opinion was absolutely gorgeous! It was the best gammon I've had in years! The price was also reasonable - �4.40 for gammon, pineapple, chips and salad. Barmaid and waitress were both very friendly. Will be going back soon.

A strange little place near the Guildhall market / outdoor fish market. Food is average (served at lunchtimes) and Bass is the only real ale.

Very strange layout and very dark inside during the day and night. Attracts some very strange people but seems friendly enough.

Toilets are a dump - take my advice - tie a knot and go to another place.
