your usual big brewery theme pub. not alot of character or atmosphere.
strange mix of chavs and low lifes, some local workers in there from 5-9pm(ish) then the unemployed pikeys take over with attitude & fighting.
NOT A VERY SAFE PLACE or very good beer/lager, best stay top shelf as pipe cleaner aint good for your health!! me & my mate tried 2 different lagers & they tasted abit strange.

The Warren is definately the best of a bad bunch of pubs in the area.
the food is pretty good & varied, the beer is better than most.
plus there isn't hundreds of chavy kids running about the place!!!
this pub is now my local, even though its abit of a trot to get to, its worth it.

this review is fresh off the press, just had a few pints in here with 2 mates & was not happy to be nudged, knocked & generally annoyed by kid chavs & 20yr(ish) horrible chav pikey scum.
beer was flattish and tasteless, i know its at its worst on a saturday night but please....this place is crap.

i think plastic paddy's are slightly better than a pub full of chav scum!!! the guinness as a result is best in area.
this pub is rough and ready, lots of longtime locals but the beer/lager is pretty good. the landlord knows how to run a cellar & keep the pipes clean. but landlord & staff haven't got the guts to keep there locals in order, as a result you will feel a little out of place in the albert - bullying big fish in a very small pond spring to mind. if your pondlife you'll fit in well, if your not then have the odd pint & watch the game then discretely leave in one piece.

well emma i think you must work here, as i have had the carvery and wasn't that impressed & have been told by friends some sunday lunch horror stories that would turn yer stomach.
how this place survives is easy - business functions/coach trip stops plus a small hotel on the backend of building supplying captive punters and a passing trade of people/reps travelling down the busy A316 duel carrigeway.
in my view, stay away from this cold faceless unfriendly motorway sevice station style pub. the beer is poor & overpriced, the staff are chavy arrogant gits etc. the only plus side is you wont get bashed up in here! i personally will take my chances in a rougher pub with some atmosphere......

this is a proper old geezers pub that sometimes can surprise you with a younger trendier crowd back in the depths of the seated area, its rare but happened to me a number of times.(the chavs are at the bar or in the pool room, fairly easily avoided).
but on a normal/bad day its a bit smelly & old fashioned inside. generally the beer & lager is good & a few pence cheaper than pubs in more popular spots.

i am over 21 so had no problems with getting a flat pint of lager!!! the miserable bar staff did change it, after some stern looks. i didn't dare try the food but another punter further up the jump had some sort of lasagne & it looked ok.
not very inviting or friendly but has everything you need for a local. it just doesn't work fully on any level - shame

this place is a graveyard. cheaper beer is not going to get me through this door again! the groom had a refit some years ago & proved you cant polish a turd. its not the worst pub in the area but comes very close.
the guv'nor seems sensible enough but he can't too picky about who comes in or it would shut down!!!!

this place is a little bit out the way of the high street passing trade. so its abit locals dominated.
if your just into a couple of pints or watching a bit of sport this pub is ok. but go into the airman looking for a fight and boy you'll find one. simple

My last posting was taken down for some strange reason!!
maybe it was too honest a review.
nothing has changed, this place is full of pykies & younge & old chavs. the beers over priced & badly stored etc.
if anyone has anything good to say about this place i'll eat my computer.
if this posting gets taken down then beerintheevening is becoming soft & letting landlords bully them into taking down honest reviews. look at my other reviews etc, why did my review of this pub get taken down?????
