Review:
Very large former 'Wengers'
building that has exceptionally fine features and an
impressive exterior. The pub is very popular at most times with a wide variety of reasonably priced meals.
Yates's is described as
'The unrivalled meeting place' and with its huge
array of offers it would not be hard to find
something to eat or drink here.
There are three floors with a bar on all
floors. The main bar on the ground floor has a long
marble topped bar and plenty of seating with high tables and
chairs. There is also ample standing room. It has
large glass windows to the front which gives a
bright and airy feel to the bar during the day.
The pub is decked out in a modern style with red and
cream pastel colours that give a warm feel to the
place. There is
stylish large cylindrical lighting to the ceiling and part
wooden and carpeted floor.
The upper floors are
accessed by a large
staircase on the right hand side of the bar and
there is also a lift at the other side of the
pub for disabled access. The second floor has a bar and
pool lounge. It also has
additional seating in small cosy booths for diners.
There is free hire of a function room for
parties with a choice of buffet menus at £3.50, £5.50 or £8.50 per head and DJ
available on request (contact the bar manager).
Live Music
is a feature
on selected nights. Big screen
Live football is shown on a drop down screen and
there are several widescreen TV's throughout the bar.
Regular music is on play at most times with a DJ
booth located near to the main entrance. Very popular pub with young crowd at
weekends and a mixed clientele of locals, business
people and students during the week. Can get very
busy and has a good atmosphere at all times.
Disabled access is very good with a designated
disabled toilet on the ground floor and a
lift to all floors.
Toilets are downstairs and are large and very clean.
