Optimal location at the Royal Square. Large outdoor seating area, I had lunch there twice, but the second time service was extremely slow. Liberation on cask, a few keg beers.

Right next door to "The Peirson" which makes for a short pub crawl! Small downstairs and upstairs bars but has a big ouside drinking area which is nice on a summer evening, sells "liberation" brewery beer which is ok but that is it for the real ale selection, good barstaff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Another visit as this pub is excellent for a beer a snack and people watching. Always busy due to its location but we got a table OK. Liberation Ale was fine if not spectacular and they now offer a Craft Blonde Beer as well. Waiter/ress service appears only to be for food.

Nice pub lots of character. Just the one hand-pull: Liberation. Extensive outdoor seating area in the Square. I tried the Liberation Craft Ale (on font rather than hand pull) which was very tasty. Food menu looked interesting although we didn't try it.

Decent pub, 1 ale - Liberation. Great outdoor seating area.

Returned again this year for a beer and a snack. Beer was fine (Liberation Ale) and the sandwiches were OK but a bit mean on filling for the price. Still I expect you pay for the location and it is lovely on a nice warm day - we sat and watched the world go by, just at the back of the main shopping street.

Handy location, nice pub on two floors, but upstairs bar closed as visited on a quiet sunday afternoon. I would come back again as had a nice cosy feel on a cold winters afternoon.

Agreed - very pleasant with good beer and a nice cup of coffee for the wife !!

A decent pub with a well kept Liberation cask ale available and a large outside seating area on the square.

Visited on the evening of Feb 24th '09. Pub was empty. Beer was frothy Jersey Best, so uninspiring. Won't bother to return.

Location, location, location! If this pub were anywhere else it wouldn't be worth bothering with, but being at the end of a sunny square, with tables outside, makes it worth a visit. Beer, in common with most of the pubs on the island, was just a selection of kegs. Food ok.

Usually vist this pub when in town, if you can get a seat outside it is better as you can watch the world go by, people watch and if sunny get a tan as well. Downside is too many Dammed pigeons. Worth a visit to see for yourself.

I enjoyed this pub. It was getting dark but we sat outside anyway and watched the square from the cafe-type tables.

The first beer I had (Jimmy's) tasted awful, but the bar staff agreed and were happy to change it for a Jersey Special which was very nice.

Would definitely consider going there again.

Mostly a very succesful food pub in the central square. Beer was a bit ropey, but hopefully that's a one off. Bit too manic and busy for me, full of children running about. Good enough but wouldn't choose to go back.

Can't comment on the beer here as I was refused service for wearing a football shirt. Had I been part of a 20-strong stag party playing up then fair enough but I was there with my girlfriend and had spent all day at the zoo! Ever heard of common sense?
