HJL_Shef Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 There's some entertaining old men ranting at the bar usually It's a nice traditional pub with a good selection of ales, including some home-brewed ones. However, in my opinion, it's a little scruffy and in desperate need of some re-upholstery and paint! Plus, one of the barmen isn't very personable, and the atmosphere can be a touch on the quiet side. Depends what you like. I tend to pop in now and then, as the beer is good, but it's not at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 do they have any entertainment? I hope you're joking... The place stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benoliver999 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sorry to bump an old post, but has this place closed? It's an old favourite of mine but I've been able to get over there in a while. Was round there last week and it looked like it was no longer doing business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slh73 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's been bought (by the people who run the sheaf view I believe, but I may be wrong), and is currently being refurbished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benoliver999 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 That's good news, I can't deny it could have done with a lick of paint... Next time I'm round there I'll be sure to see how it's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger123W Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Its a very traditional old pub with a great interior and usually deathly quiet when you walk in I kinda like its old time character ! Though one cant help the feeling of "this is a local pub for local people" as you walk in ... well with the success of the Shakespeare and the The Ship inn, both nearby, and a real "real ale trail" developing in the area, I cant help feeling that this one is ripe for "renovation" although I hope that if they do they get it right and dont go overboard losing all its character like they did with the Ship Inn ... bring back the wallpaper ! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What is the other part of the building used for? It's quite run down and detracts even more from the pub (which looks quite tidy on the outside). It would be good if the pub could acquire it and extend with maybe an outdoor area and signage on the gable end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where he made the infamous grass beers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
