Slug and Lettuce, Bristolback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
What is a pub? I wouldn't classify this place as such. A soulless bland large room with tables and chairs that sells alcoholic drinks such as half price cocktails. No real ale, no atmosphere, no f**ing chance that I will be returning

I�d hardly set foot in this pub when the barmaid accosted me to see if we were eating. Why, I�m not sure. Perhaps the chef was keen to get home. It�s a difficult pub to describe as it seems to be very much lacking in character or indeed anything else notable to say about it. It�s a long pub with a central area running parallel to the bar and a couple of other areas that are up a few steps. Some of the tables here were laid up with red tablecloths presumably in readiness for any diners.
The bar counter has a large display of bottles behind it with red back lighting which creates a pleasant enough sort of effect in a wine bar like way and there�s a terrace out the front which is probably a decent enough spot in the summer (assuming it�s not full of chavs of course). There were a few random pictures on the wall, many of anonymous buildings. I didn�t study the menu, but there seemed to be several meal deals available, such as curry nights on a Tuesday and 50% off all food on Mondays.
The only beer on tap was Doom Bar, which is perhaps slightly better than I expected to find in a venue such as this. It�s a bit of a shame it was served in a chunky Coke-like glass though that was fresh out the dishwasher and still warm. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately.
Mrs. B. was very reluctant to go in here, but I explained that as a dedicated BITE reviewer we had to make at least one visit. She then looked at me rather smugly when I realised just how bad the place was and was adamant that we wouldn�t be coming back for a 2nd visit!

Dreadfull trendy bar. Great if you want to get tanked up on Fosters but for the rest of us there's no reason to go there. Avoid.

Typical crap really. Busy, chavvy, unintelligent bar staff, horrificly loud music.
