The Dog and Partridge, Standish

I used to enjoy drinking in this pub, good range of real ales and well kept too. I've been in since the fire on several occasions & hated it on every occasion. You can't get to the bar to be served for men stood in front of it just gauping at one of the TVs. The language policy doesn't seem to apply any more as there was effing & jeffing by the clientelle. Janet, the landlady wasn't in at the time though. It is not possible to sit & have a quiet pint anymore as there is nowhere inside or outside the pub to sit away from one of the six, yes SIX televisions. I appreciate people want to come & have a pint & watch the match with their mates, but do the TVs have to be everywhere? The pub wants to attract varied visitors, why else would there be comfy sofas & fresh flowers everywhere. The mix is just wrong now.
