Nice pub with live sports. Friendly staff. Unfortunately doesn't serve branded beers and lagers only their own brand. Rather expensive for a pint of lager at £5.65 which wasn't great

Wonderful Joseph Holt pub a short walk from Albert Sq. Had my first Joe Holt's bitter 49 years ago and still love it. Lovely pub with a small roof terrace. Too many TV'S for Madge. Flat Eric loves the ambieance and beer. Holt famiky still run this local brewery and spend their profits on their pubs. Great value food and meal deals..Curry Thursday or Fish Friday. Sunday roast. Well worth a visit.

Always been a decent pub in the town centre but only recently called in after a good amount of time lockdown etc. Looks like they have a good few things going on throughout the month and the pub was quite busy when I visited. I have to say I was not a fan of Holts lager years ago but it's come on leaps and bounds and its now a good decent pint. Standards look high on keeping the pub clean and the bar staff were friendly overall would definitely recommend a visit.
