| Strange one, this. Huge, domineering white pub in prime location in Hockley "village", apparently it was originally built as a hotel to accomodate the visitors the the actual spa in hockley, as was the railway station. Trouble is, it's a terribly average pub. Drinks only, no food and, speaking as a lager lout, a very disappointing range on offer. If you can't stomach Stella or Fosters, the only other Lager appears to be Becks Vier. Couldn't see too many surprises in the real ale pumps either to be honest. I do applaud a pub that steadfastedly remains "a pub", but if your focus is on drinks only, at least offer the punters a decent range? A few surprises? As for the clientele, this is very much a local pub for local people. I only pop in once every few months but the same faces are there every single time. Local kids just old enough to drinkdown in the lower bar around the pool tables, regulars in the top, all chowing down on their Stella and Becks Vier. It's not a bad pub I guess, but can't help feeling that someone's going to snap this place up one day, offer a better range of drinks, and start serving food. glenn9ball - 24 Jul 2013 12:11 |
| my local pub, lovely people, not to expensive, the bottom bar is full of 18 year old power drinkers on a friday night, but there are 2 other bars to get away from them in Philius1999 - 2 Jun 2011 13:25 |
