Duke of Cambridge, St Helensback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
the Talbot is listed on here under its former name the Sportsmans Inn.

Concur with the previous poster on this place - it also exposes the continuing failings of the site. Further up the same street are The News Room (which was kind of okay) and the Talbot (which is probably St.Helen's 2nd best ale pub after the Circketers) neither of which are listed on here.

I'd been to Duke Street earlier in the day on Sunday and of 4 pubs tried in this area, only the Sportsman's was open. On my return later in the evening, I visited the News Room, a small and modern bar not listed on here and then moved on here to the Duke of Cambridge. This is certainly a down at heel pub. There only appeared to be 2 other people here - the barmaid and what appeared to be a DJ who was controlling the music being shown on a huge screen. Perhaps impromptu dancing sessions start here some nights in the huge open area with very little setting. But this was a pub with very little atmosphere. Cocktails such as Purple People Eater were advertised. But they did have 2 respectable ales - Salopian Shropshire Gold & Moorhouses Blond Witch and apparently it was local CAMRA pub of the year not too long ago. So maybe I visited on an off night. But I didn't think too much of this place.
