| Finally put out of its long and painful misery and now closed !! Soon to open as the Spice Garden indian restaurant ! SpeckledBen - 4 Apr 2009 01:45 |
| Having seen many managers come and go over the years, it was really refreshing to see the new landlady making a real effort to return the pub to being a clean and welcoming place to drink. Many people including myself had been attracted back from other pubs. I thought she was making great progress with the appearance of this rundown pub & certainly had a good cleaner. Unfortunately that all has gone to pot since she left in August. The place is now back to being dirty, the toilets stink & the couple running it now lack personality & customer service skills. I don't think the pipes have been cleaned since that lovely landlady left as I ordered a pint of Fosters at 10.30 at night that stank of eggs & was told it was the 1st one pulled of the day!!!!!! Note to owners - know a good thing when you've got it (You lost a good girl there) - the pub has gone downhill fast & is full of kids. olneyite - 8 Oct 2008 20:18 |
| I was glad to see a new land lady, however it doesn't make a difference, still ban people on hearsay, they think all drivers licenses are fake and you must use passports (Just because its a provisional license), as usual its not really a welcoming pub, this isn't really a place you can have a lot of drinks with your mates, you'd probably be banned for accidentally smashing a glass in this pub. Sorry land lady, but its the same old shit. At least you have made an effort to tidy the place up! makwoods1 - 19 Jan 2008 08:34 |

| Should the landlady be allowed to write her own reviews ? HughJarse - 19 Sep 2007 23:13 |
