| @Odin - I have been here on a friday evening! I did see the programme and some of the locals were legendary. They serve a cider that was said to be so strong, some clientele would soil themselves, and one had a leg amputated after a railway line fall following a session. Another of the locals used to place his glass eye in his pint glass. I think you can see it all on You Tube! When I went in around Feb 2005, a local asked if he could borrow my mates' glasses. Another local fell asleep upright at the bar. He'd been drinking the aforementioned Cider. We were only there for 40 minutes, but I doubt I'll forget it. Couldn't believe it when I saw it on the programme later on. wbafc_beer - 16 Sep 2011 23:45 |
| Someone who drinks in there, told me at the weekend, that this place is still like it was when it featured on "Britain's Toughest Pubs" a few years ago. son_of_odin - 23 Dec 2010 10:37 |
| Featured on "Britain's Toughest Pubs", and quite a frightening looking place. Hancock - 30 Jan 2006 12:32 |
