Surly bar staff. All a bit pretentious. A shame as the pub itself is a really nice venue, very clean and the drinks are great. I just don’t have much time for being made to feel uncomfortable by one word answer bar staff that drift around like super models as opposed to being warm and friendly hosts. Maybe if I dressed like a fashionista I’d have been treated with more sincerity.
Here’s a photo of what £8.30 gets you at this pub. Trying to work out which cost most, the half pint or the coke. Turns out the coke took that title, with the half close behind. lol what a joke. The reason we got the coke is because they have zero alcohol free options, so really your only choice to be sober here is coke at a high cost.
Fine pub, reasonably priced and friendly clientele. However... Rude bar staff are unable to consider the needs of all clientele within the pub. On a cold mid December night, the door was left open allowing a frosty breeze to flow through, affecting one half of the pub. Clearly, they have more money to waste than us because the other half was hotter then the Costa del sol. My drinking companion Alice attempted to close said door, but was met with a hostile attitude from the two bartenders, who immediately opened the door and instructed us not to shut it again, despite objections from other punters. They seemed to only have the interest of booth drinkers at heart. Overall, I would recommend this pub if the bar staff where renewed. We will be leaving after one pint, but we would have spent many a night here with politer staff. We visited on 16/12/23, I hope the management are aware of the personality type that they entrust their establishment to.
Good pub food at a fair price and pleasant staff. Unfortunately there's more TV screens than Currys and speakers in every corner all turned up loud. Great pub if you want to watch football but definitely not for meeting up with family for a beer and a bite to eat. Conversation is impossible. Perhaps the website should actually state that their passion is football, then we'd have known. If you love a footie atmosphere, go here!
I stopped in to get out of the rain and figured Id make a small lunch out of it. Their .40p Wings Wednesday deal was pretty fantastic and the meat was pretty tasty. However dont order from the app, their drinks arent updated and it doesn’t communicate to the server properly. The bartender confirmed this as well. Also-the app didnt let me chose my wing sauce.
