Review:
Medium sized pub that
is part of the Original Pub Company chain The pub
has been refurbished to a much higher standard. This
is in part due to its due to its proximity to the
Gate. The exterior has been given a complete
facelift and there is now a long wooden bar with a
part carpeted and wooden floor. There is an
abundance of seating throughout with tables and
chairs in every area with a greater emphasis on
providing meals.
The decor is a mixture of cream,
pale green
and terracotta colours with some modern
abstract pictures on the walls. The pub is bright and airy with
large windows to
the front and side. There are some games machines dotted
about the bar.
Live sports is shown on a large drop
down screen in one corner with forthcoming matches
advertised in the bar. Resident DJ Friday and
Saturday with regular music on play at other times.
Karaoke is a regular feature on a Thursday night.
The pub is very busy during the day with locals,
business crowd and
shoppers and is busy on most evenings throughout the
week.Cash back facility available.
Disabled access very
good as the pub is all on the one level with a
disabled toilet at the rear. Toilets are small and
clean and in reasonable order.
Price: Very Reasonable.
