I won't ever go to an O'Neils because they are predictable. I come here a lot because 1. I like the the way it's managed 2. because I like the beer and 3. because I like the fact it doesn't get crowded but just right. What's the point in going somewhere where all you think about is I'm buggered if I'm going to the bar and stand there waiting for 20 minutes. This place suits me fine and It's a great laugh. They do food too and they have a beer garden (not been in it yet though) Cheers. Chaz.

What can I say honest Kev but 'I'm stuffed'. There was enough on my plate to feed a small child. I'll be back.

Most good pubs are purposely steering towards food at the moment as this seems to be the way forward as soon as the smoking ban is brought in. Not a bad thing in my opionion. It's either that or they close down. We all like good food and a decent pint nowadays rather than a nice fag and a good pint and we are all witnessing a change in the old fashioned boozer. I'm all for it and if I hear any other grumpy old bastard moan about the demise of what they see as their descent local turning into a restaurant or such like well heres the reality - It's going to happen wether you like it or not. 7/10.

This is a nice place. Yes kids are allowed (Good) Yes it's brightened up a bit (Good) and yes the food is good. The main thing is the beers still as good as ever and it's still looks the bees knees. I do tend to agree with the price of the wine - but then I don't drink it anyway. Overall 8/10

Whats all the talk about terrible refurbishment. Everywhere need refurshing from time to time. Every few years everyone redecorates their own house but I bet you don't hear anyone say It looks awful. Yes it's refurbished and yes it bloody well needed it. You can't win. Been here in the past for quiz nights and thouroughly enjoyed myself . The place looks great. final.
