Customer Review Summary
Beer draws the most praise, with reviewers pointing to four rotating cask ales weekly, bottled real ales and draughts kept in tip top condition by the cellar man. Close behind are the friendly, warm and welcoming hosts and bar staff, and drinks described as cheap and reasonably priced. A pool table, weekend live bands, food and a dog allowed in on a Saturday afternoon also earn mentions, and new owners are described as committed to making the pub viable and vibrant. Complaints are sharper. One reviewer reports dirty toilets and smokers at the entrance and calls for a health inspection, another notes an empty bag of coke in the men's room, and a third was ignored by the only staff member on and left after one drink. Another calls the beer choice poor and the decor grotty, with hardly anyone in beyond a few regulars. Even so, one reviewer waiting outside for a taxi heard music pumping from the open windows and plans to return for live music.
