Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly bar staff and the atmosphere they create, with several describing a bartender as helpful, easy to talk to and calm during busy socials. Close behind are the pints, including a creamy Guinness, the Barry Island IPA and Dark Fruits, plus burgers one diner calls juicy. Pool tables, darts, board games and a beer garden give groups plenty to do, and one reviewer mentions good deals on bottled drinks. One group praises how helpful staff were in planning a sports presentation for 25 players and 20 guests. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found the drinks expensive and the pub full of rowdy football watchers. That visit ended with a parking fine a week later. The reviewer says the car park signs were mounted high and felt the bar staff could have warned them. In a happier account, a bartender marked a group's finished exams by setting flowers and a candle on their table.

“Good beer choice - i had the Barry Island IPA and my wife had the Dark Fruits. We sat in the beer garden and listened to the sound checks at Blackweir fields. Barman was very friendly and yet also efficient.”

“We had a fabulous evening at the Blackweir tavern. We had a sports presentation with 25 players and 20 other guests and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Always on hand to help us plan our event and get it right to how we wanted. Thank you very much!”

“I popped in here with my wife as we had 45 minutes until we had to collect our daughter who was in a nearby theatre. It was full of rowdy youngster's watching football, not my cup of tea but I guess they have to go somewhere. I enjoyed a pint of lager and my wife had a white wine, it came to over £14 so not exactly cheap. In fact it worked out extremely expensive as a week later I received a parking fine of £60 for parking in their car park. I am 60 years old, been driving for over 40 years and this was my first ever parking fine! I returned back yesterday to see how I had overlooked that you had to pay to park and yes there are signs throughout the car park. But, I guess I must have overlooked them as I have never known a pub charge it's customers before and as the signs are mounted quite high I guess I just wasn't looking out for them. Shame on the proprietor for not adding adequate signage in the pub itself and on the girl behind the bar who could have warned us as she obviously knew we were not regulars. No wonder pubs are closing down more and more if this is the way they treat customers, needless to say I won't be visiting there again and will now be hesitant to use any pub when I have to park up first.”

“I was served by Chloe, who I found to be very pleasant, helpful and shows professionalism whilst carrying out her duties. She made me feel at ease and very relaxed. If I owned a restaurant myself, I would really like to have her on my team.”

“I love this pub. I find myself returning often. A real friendly atmosphere in the air, filled with locals and students. The food is always the right type of food you want at a pub. There are a few pool tables, darts and a lovely beer garden. Not to mention the great deals on bottled drinks! Which works perfectly for me!”
