Fudbeer Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Went last night was impressed they have done a good job. One complaint nearly all the tap lagers are 5% or above which is too strong for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just been in. Plenty of good stuff on keg but the cask range is unimpressive. Service is also slow. Hopefully it will be more impressive when it's quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnAuK Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I have been in a couple of times now. I like how they have developed the place - even better than the Leeds branch IMHO. Plus the food looks good (and well priced). The same, however, CANNOT be said of the drink. The first time I went in I tried a couple of the 'Camerons Craft' casks - both fine examples of why the word 'craft' should be controlled. They were awful and £3.50 a pint. So the last time I went in I opted for keg. Had Magic Rock HighWire Grapefruit which is a cracking beer. However, it was eye-wateringly expensive at £6.50 a pint. Considering you can get it just down the road at the Rutland for a quid a pint less I certainly won't be doin that again! I honestly thought this would end up being a serious alternative to the Dev Cat in terms of it's offering. It isn't. I'll maybe swing by occasionally for half or a bottle of something nice, as I do in Leeds, but it won't be a regular haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris101 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Been in good refurbishment not interested in cask ales being a lager drinker. All I can say is it's expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Been in good refurbishment not interested in cask ales being a lager drinker. All I can say is it's expensive. Me too and yes I thought that. Over 4 quid for a pint of san Miguel ,its a nice place but staying there for a "session" is not gonna be cheap. You can get a meal and a pint at spoons for that lol!

Andy C Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I've been back for a second time now, again just for a beer and my opinion has improved. It is a nice place with stuff worth drinking - however it isn't somewhere that will entice me in as a regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's a massive improvement on the previous place. I will be happy to visit again, it's good to have a reasonable pub in this part of town. I like the design of the bar and the beer bottle light fitting. Not so keen on the seating - the massive tables approach seem daft to me. Overall a thumbs up.

Tavit Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've been in a couple of times now, the first time, the head on the beer vanished in seconds, didn't taste to bad though. The second time I walked out after waiting ages trying to get served, the bar area is to big for the amount of people serving. I'm sure they'll sort it out eventually.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I went in for a drink and can't say I was impressed. The bar is in the middle but it still has no soul. Just a lot more expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
