Duke Of St Albans, Top Valley

rough as f c u k! However, keep yourself to yourself and it is not too bad.

I actually went to the opening party and it was a great pub then, a few roughies came along as they were moved in to the area and soon enough came the best place to score something for the weekend and great to watch the local boxing match!

I wish I was loaded! If I was, I would buy and renovate this pub as this is what is really needed. It is a fantastic building and has a great big beer garden that should be used to it's full advantage.

I honestly think that if someone like like Toby could take it over into a carvery, it would be packed full all the time. At the moment though, it is a great and safe place to bring the kids when it is hot (And they do a great bank holiday event) but really needs this money to renovate it.

The Abbotswood Inn, Yate

I have lived in the area near this pub and was scared to go in! it looks very rough from the outside, however when i finnaly plucked up the courage to enter this daunting establishment, my fears were soon erased by friendly and cheery staff. I was worried about bumping in to any of the locals in case I got punched cause of my northern accent but soon found them to be very welcoming.

The beer is good but could do with some real ales and a beer festival would be a great idea!

A kids area is present but the balls have been taken away! if you have kids, you have to sit in this area and it is very bland. Some paint and some cheap kids activity would be great if you are to enjoy a beer with your kids in presence.

Outside area is very pleasant when the Sun is out.

Not a local to this pub but have no issues returning!
