Mark56 is in the minority, and rhetorical or not i drink there because i actually like the beer and the staff,If i ignore Maureen like she ignores most people then happy days..Haven't been in there this week but hear the beers are quality especially the Batemans XXXB and a Blackberry Porter, and there are some new faces behind the bar good luck learn from the staff not Maureen.Maybe the B&T management should actually TALK to the staff and customers, sorry silly me never going to happen, what was i thinking !!!!!!. Any awards collected by the pub since late 2008,are as a result of Mel's influence and legacy and customer loyalty,can't see them winning anymore awards,despite the hard work and efforts of the bar staff..The pub has also lost it's dart teams,cricket team and struggles to get it's crib and domino teams this leaves just a golf society why has this happened ????? when the Victoria has no such problems,the owners of this pub must be rubbing their hands at the thought of their Nemesis on the decline for the third time come on B&T read whats being written and save the Globe

I HAVE NEVER SEEN Maureen step in to help her staff, even if they are rushed off their feet,she just sits on her throne drinking,and tapping her fingers,as for greeting all the customers that's just baloney,only if your flavour of the month do you get a hello.This pub was GREAT now its barely average,and if anyone has an issue with the beer or the way the staff work then surely it's down to Maureen to retrain them,trouble is she's clueless,maybe B&T need to try her in one of there other pubs.Anyone can see the number of drinkers dwindling,at one time you'd have to queue for 10 mins at a beer fest to get served at the top bar and it was standing room only,now you can take your pick of seats and getting served doesn't require any queuing,i think this speaks for it's self...PLEASE PLEASE B&T Save the Globe.

Having read all the other comments about the pub, it's with great sadness and a heavy heart that i find myself agreeing with those who now regard the pub as on the decline.I have been drinking there since it reopened,and have to this day never met a friendlier landlord(Mel Hall) with such passion for real ale,the same however can not be said for Maureen,who only seems interested in lambasting her staff even in front of customers,blames everyone but herself if things aren't right but is front and centre if any praise is being dished out.Ignores customers unless your one of her selected 'friends'.The bar staff are fantastic and do an incredible job always smiling and with a warm welcome, under such trying conditions.The real ales are nearly always perfect as are the lagers,losing Laura left a void in the pub, that has, as of yet not been filled.If you want good real ale but don't want an atmosphere you can cut with a knife when Maureen's around i suggest you try the Victoria or the Froth& Elbow or even the Pheasant all of which sell good real ale.i rated this pub a 4 due to the landlady if she was to leave it would get a 9 ever day of the week easy.Come on B&T see the light and do the right thing or you'll have no customers.
