| This pub was probably the worst of the day for me. On entering, I was ignored for a few minutes, until a regular walked in and I was finally acknowledged. Ales were Moles Six FIngers, Theakstons Locomotive Brew & Rocket Ale & Everards Ascalon. A number of other handpulls showed beers that were "coming soon". The Rocket Ale I had was the worst drink of the day and clearly on the turn. I'd have taken it back if I hadn't had a bus to catch. I later found out that CAMRA discounts are available. But there are no signs to promote this and it is not offered. Situated next to a railway bridge carrying the East Coast main line. Seemed popular. So maybe I was just unlucky. blue_scrumpy - 14 May 2016 17:59 |
| just thought i would update people about the changes as the last review was right it went up for sale a month later in november, now it is under new management again the owner also owns the trent pub in town, the manager is friendly and the the atmosphere is what it use to be years ago, there are bands back on a friday and saturday and sometimes on a sunday afternoon. they also so have loads of sports on, plus the car park is back and the farm at the back gone its a pleasure to drink in there now geordielass06 - 8 Sep 2011 14:56 |
| Well I suppose all good things come to an end. Went in Sunday no real ale, went in tonight, Wed, still no real ale, the pumps had not been touched ie still in the same skewed positions. I asked the lass behing the bar but she did not know, the place has really gone down the pan. It used to be a great music and real ale venue but that finished in the early summer now they seem to have given up on real ale. Still they do have food, jolly dee, nothing special just the usual pub fare, nothing like the Brandling at South Gosforth or the Hungrey Horse on Newton road, I would'ent go specially to the George for the food as it just seems the usual. This used to be a brilliant pub but now just another mediocre boozer with no atmosphere and a few die hards hanging about. Come on new management whoever you are, we want our pub back. Otherwise you are heading for another 'For Sale' notice outside the pub around Feb 2011 I would estimate. alarkascending - 22 Sep 2010 18:17 |
| The new management has been in for nearly a year now and it is much improved. Food is now on the menu and it is really good. The beer is also good with about 4 ales on at any time. Give it another try folks! chunkybeermonkey - 2 Aug 2010 09:09 |
| In fairness, the pub went through a rough patch after the last manager left. Jan, the new one, takes getting used to as she seems a bit abraisive at first. Get to know her and she is a generous host and the beer is always well kept and the real ales keep changing. I cannot comment on the music though as I don't come in on those nights! Give it a try again, it is worth the effort. chunkybeermonkey - 26 Feb 2009 10:39 |
