Closed down in June - going to be a Pizza Express.

More wine bar than boozer - all white brick, pastel wood and LBD-clad barmaids. Two real ales on - Three Tuns 1642 and Wharf Bank Lanterne Rouge - but pizzas more of a feature than pints.
|
Hobson's Best, Tribute and Butty Bach on sale last night. Good live folk music too but nobody really listening. Being run by those who run the Compasses at the moment but suspect this will only prove to be temporary as the lease is up for sale.
|
Bit limited on ales, nothing local. Reasonable pint of Black Sheep, hoppy and good bitter finish. Pub/pizza restaurant. Lacks much character.
|
Decent beer.
|
Good well kept beer, and service. Not so sure about bland surroundings, but live music was a nice surprise.
|
Choice of 3 ale, all OK. Service as OK, but soon got tired of being asked if we were eating/wanted anything else. Nothing special but passable.

Tried The Marches for a drink this weekend. The place is OK, perhaps a little bland and without much inspiration. Upto 3 ale served. All seem to be kept well. Overall average.

We visited on Saturday evening to find that The Marches is definitely more of a bar than a pub but there were all ages in here, mostly well-dressed. We hadn't expected to find a man on the door and not too sure why he was there when the first people we saw were an elderly couple reading the Telegraph and sharing a pizza! I enjoyed a swift, good pint of Hobsons Town Crier; Ludlow Brewery's Black Knight and Purity's Mad Goose were also available so nothing under 4.2%. Nice, relaxed vibe so will definitely re-visit for something a bit different in the Castle Square area.

Now known as The Marches Bar and Kitchen.
