| A very good range of beers and the ones I had all well kept. Friendly locals and good atmosphere. Enjoyed the Ale House across the road too! 8/10. ChrisM62 - 16 May 2016 09:30 |
| Nice. Wednesday night just before their West Country beer festival over the BH weekend, so stock low. Woodfordes Wherry excellent condition, Crouch vale Brewers gold and Green jack Orange Wheat. 20 beers and 3 ciders coming on. Despite previous reviews, staff friendly, apologised for reduced selection and provided perfectly sound explanation. Well worth a visit, basic proper back street pub and one for the notebook. The name gave a clue that this family know about pubs and beer - uncle runs the Norwich Fat cat chain. TonyMitch - 29 Apr 2015 21:03 |
| Normally fair selection of real ales available. The place itself is a little uncomfortable and bare. I remember this pub in the 1980s when locals referred to it as "The Dole Hole". Look around you and you can see why. IggyC - 3 Feb 2014 14:29 |
| Pub was okay, beer dinkable, staff reasonable but the ignorant talk across you for a short cut regulars mean it is NOT a pub for the casual visitor, If you aren't part of the local clique give it a wide berth (what a contrast to the pub directly over the road) - A definite NIL points. anonymous - 4 Jan 2014 20:47 |
| This public house is truly unique, it is the only hostelry in the UK with an invisible landlord. Smegmakovich - 12 Mar 2012 21:00 |
