The refurbishment was so successful it's now a Morrison's local shop. R.I.P

I want to set the record straight!....
This might look like an advert but if you read my last report you will see I'm correcting my rant after the ex landlady was nasty to me
Anyway what can i say.....What a massive change!
Yet Even after the make over I refused to go back as I knew the witch was still there
But now The new manager Neil has made such a difference as has Holly and all the staff .
.... I can assure everyone that it is not only safe to go back, but is now an outstanding pub!
I was a bit unsure about the pizza idea in a sports pub but it WORKS!
The pizzas are not like take out junk food they are fresh and fantastic and cheap too!
I recommend the chilly con carny pizza!! Lol
I know that the locals are unsure if this is now just a restaurant or if you can come in for a drink...
Not only can you just come in for a drink and watch the sports read a newspaper or use your laptop but they also have live bands some nights which have been really good so far
So I have become a regular fella again

As previously said this pub needs a total overhaul...and its had one! Sadly its like rolling shit in glitter...it may sparkle but its still shit underneath.
The landlady is miserable,rude and arrogant and she hires staff who are the same as her!
This pub is always empty....I doubt they could give drinks away...and yet the pubs surrounding it are doing well and always have customers. Seems like the brewery should take note and get new staff and management to go along with the new look.
If you're in the area and fancy a drink.....pick another pub!

We have been a regulars for years, lunch times as well as evenings and always loved it
but in the last year I have noticed its really going down hill, not only is it looking shabby with the toilets; WELL! Let's just say, pegs are useful, I've been told the ladies are just as bad, with doors not locking, and toilets not flushing, but also I find the landlady rude! I have never seen her pull a pint and when I jokingly mention this to her she started shouting at us, like we were school children, she told us that she can do what she wants and can bar us if she wants. No need, we won't be spoken to like that so won't be back!
Also on Friday and saturday nights when it's busy there are normally 3 staff behind the bar trying their hardest to deal with angry customers, because they have to wait 40 mins to get served. Yet the landlady seems to be sat somewhere with her cup of tea or chatting with her fella. Or even dancing on the dance floor, I think the power has gone right to her head.

Unfortunately this place is in dire need of being updated. The gents toilets are disgusting and the roof leeks in the bar when it rains. That said the Landlady makes you very welcome and the beer is good.

nice cold beers ,much needed after walk from station ,nice clean pub
|
I think it calls itself a 'sports bar' which prides itself on serving beer 'extra cold'. Bearing that in mind, you won't be surprised to find out that it sells no real ale. If you enjoy drinking Tetley's Extra Smooth in a place with all the atmosphere of an industrial fridge, then this is the place for you.

after starting off at the james i come here, already drunk as its very expensive! I have a good dance and admire the fact that i'm in a far better state than every one else. its an attractive pub, with good music. Staff are pretty miserable, takes ages to get served.But i guess that makes your drink last as you wont have enough money for another! Not to keen on the fact that the bouncers ask fellas who are obviously old enough, for their I.D and then I.D women by starin at their breasts as they walk through.I used to really like this pub but i'm slowly changing my mind.:(

The Vic is the biggest and best pub in Cheshunt (and even better since the Aussie has gone!) The prices have gone down, the bar staff are wicked (and sexy) and it's a lotta fun!!! I don't understand why it isn't banged out every night!!

The Vic was better before they changed the decoration, now it looks like a sports centre! Not too bad, better people in the Vic than in the King James, but still not that great.

very sexy barstaff,the blonde guy behind the bar is gorgeous. If you agree then write in!!!!
