| The Robert Hamilton appears to be the only pub in this town dispensing real ales. Maybe there's not much demand, as most people appear to swill out of cans on the streets. But this is a Wetherspoons and a poor one at that. Alcohol is not served until 11am. It was not too much of a surprise to me that there was a queue at the bar as the clock struck 11. One woman was serving food, whilst the other was behind the bar. As the clock struck 11, both decided that their job was to serve food, leaving some frustrated customers. The guy next to me gave up and walked out. When I was eventually served, it transpired that they only had 2 ales - Atlas Nimbus & Everards Kawasaki Red Ale. Amongst the numerous "coming soon" signs, there was a pumpclip for Orkney Dark Island. But attempts to order this were futile, as apparently it was off. It's possible there was only one ale by the time I left, as the Nimbus appeared to have run out too. I enquired about real cider and was met with a quizzical look from the bar manager. I pointed at the bag in the box lying on the floor. But she shrugged her shoulders and I guessed there was no replacement forthcoming. A pretty poor excuse for a Wetherspoons. I also tried the Cellar Bar around the corner. There's no real ale there and it's not listed on this site. But you're more likely to get served their quicker by a manager who is friendly and eager to please, rather than a corporate chain who at times could not give a monkeys. blue_scrumpy - 5 Jan 2017 22:53 |
| This is a large modern 'spoons in the centre of town. Busy but it's pretty soulless, plenty of @drinkers@ at the front of the pub with the diners relegated to the rear (so they should be!) 6 ales on draught, not a bad choice...mainly Scottish ales. Service was swift even though only 2 bard staff were working on the Saturday afternoon I was in. Well kept toilets and the staircase to toilets is worth a look. lezford - 25 Oct 2013 18:10 |
