| Called in here for old times' sake because I think I had my first-ever pint of Banks's bitter in here, donkey's years ago. Banks's bitter still available, but beer good rather than great and the pub itself was a bit rough and ready with depressingly loud music for a Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't go back.

| proper pub you dont see many of those around anymore, wasnt going to go in there it looked shut, but i needed the toilet, walked through the door all eyes were on me, had 2 pints, lot of banter between the landlord and the locals, there was no problem I enjoyed it had a chat with the landlord about the footy he's a big wolves fan. its nice to go to a pub thats still has tradional values creeksider - 12 Apr 2010 18:03 |
| Superficially looks OK from the outside, but when one spots the agent's board then you begin to worry a bit. Inside, it looks like it could have been a decent place once but is now in need of a good bit of care and attention. Two handpumps, and despite my doubts the Banks's Original was fair enough. rpadam - 6 Oct 2009 00:26 |
| Big corner pub, that on the inside was a very spit and sawdust kind of place, playing music on bit on the loud side to be honest. Basic 4 tap kind of place with not real ale, saved by the fact that at least they served Banks's MILD smooth. Again, its just a run of the mill kind of place, that with so many better places, you perhaps wouldn't bother with. People and staff were friendly enough and it had definately improved from the last time i visited a few years back. Archivist - 24 May 2009 20:30 |
| This pub is nowhere near as bad as it's been painted by previous reviews. It hasn't been reviewed for 2 years so there must have been quite a few changes. Has 3 handpumps on the bar but only Taylors Landlord was actually on. Not the best pint of Landlord I've ever tasted, but quite acceptable. Landlord is renowned for not travelling too well anyway. Walls have black & white pictures of rock stars/bands on them, which works well. Still a bit shabby but has had some TLC recently, new carpet or no carpet should be the next thing on the list. Someone is trying here to bring this place back to life. Give them some support. ROBCamra - 23 Dec 2008 09:46 |
