| Agree with previous reviewer. Rude woman behind the bar. Pub was near enough empty on a weekday lunchtime. Wide selection, I plumped for a 3.8% guest (I forget the name, it was a long day), huge disappointment. £2.40 as well, unacceptable. Will not be returning. Sharp - 13 Nov 2008 22:55 |
| good selection of ales, however quality is inconsistant. very unfreindly and unwelcoming staff. what a shame! Hot_Stuff - 17 Sep 2008 19:21 |
| Enjoyed good pints of Hobbs Bitter and Brigadier. The atmosphere debate below is probably one of personal taste as much as anything. The pub has high ceilings and is not a "cozy boozer" but a decent town pub and extremely god beers looked after by an enthusiastic landlord. Tigerdrinker - 5 May 2008 17:36 |
| What are all these reviewers looking for with their comments about ‘atmosphere’? I found the welcome friendly & down to earth from the locals and the knowlegeable, beer enthusiastic guv. The pub has a simple interior with L-shaped bar serving two rooms, nothing wrong with that, or the local feel of the place. Hoskins beers, EXS (5%), Brigadier, Hob Bitter, Mild, Navigation Ale (7%), Tollgate TGB, Ale Wagon Traditional Cyder (8%). I nearly missed this place due to its artificially low rating on these pages, but I’m glad we caught a few well-conditioned beers here before heading off to the train. trainman - 5 May 2008 13:17 |
| It's a pub on my circuit in Leicester. I'm a ticker so only an occasional tick here for me. They do regular fests but for a reason only known to themselves they fail to advertise them. Guys people will come if you let them know! The beer is well kept. If you like to drink in oppressive victorian dad style silence this will be your bag. The Hoskins lads keep threatening to brew. I think i'll open a brewery before they get around to it. Worth a visit on a beer fest. Look on scoopgen if you want that info Thatch007 - 25 Apr 2008 14:55 |
