This pub seems to me to be an enigma. The building is amazing, very atmospheric, the beer was good on my visit last night, Landlord was in good (but not amazing condition), the food which I am yet to sample look good on the plate and on the menu. I will go back and sample the meat platter at some points.

The letdowns with this pub were the staff, very slow and rude on the whole, though not all. And the atmosphere was very loud and city boy blah.

ok, I feel that I should slightly update my initial unmitigatedly enthusiastic review. Since my first visit I have been in a few times for a pie and a pint and I think it is now 50-50 as to whether there is a decent beer on, whether the bar staff know about it if there is and whether or not the pie is hot in the middle. I think it is mostly good.

Beautiful; old pub, the beer selection is great.

the staff were not sensational but I think the girl was still learning.

it was a bloke named speedy gonzalez that entertained me the most (read into that what you will)

The pies and the black sheep are excellent.

Great selection of spirits, lagers and ales. Nice atmosphere and good service.

One thing that let it down was a poor meal with dry chicken
