| I am afraid I have to agree with the negative aspects that were posted earlier on this site. This pub is overated, charging above average for mediocre goods and services, and to aggravate this situation further the manager is abusive towards the customers. I have even heard that non-locals are intimidated and do not feel welcome at this establishment. dora78 - 4 Nov 2009 10:36 |
| I wish this pub had better people looking after it, great location, but always the wrong people. This time managers who refuse to allow tap water in drinks, so for a whiskey and water you get a big dash of soda water with your malt!!! Saw a disabled man ask for a glass of water and was told he could buy a coke. The new managers seem to be trying hard with the look of the place, but they are so rude to the staff, that the turnover and service levels are shocking. The brewery are sitting on a gold mine here with such a good building. Lots of the locals seem to be voting with their feet and sadly it's become a hang out for those slightly under the legal age (never seen and id check) and those who are already drunk or high on something. The area is crying out for a good local. anonymous - 4 Jun 2007 17:15 |
| A welcoming Arkell's pub close to the Templar's Square shopping centre. I visited on 21/04/06 having cycled from Oxford. The lounge bar is spacious with plenty of tables and chair seating. Some bare brick on the walls adds to the intimacy. The public bar has a pool table. I enjoyed a pint of Arkells Summer Ale which was a fresh, clean well tasting beer with a hoppy aroma. Had there been time, I'd have stayed for another. Do visit. lad_newton - 22 Apr 2006 03:34 |
