| Perhaps it is rather touristy (we sat next to some Spaniards) but there aren't too many WW1-themed pubs so it is worth visiting for the novelty value and the heritage interior. A pity that there weren't any local ales but my pint of TT Boltmaker was good (didn't try the Wainwright Gold or Wadworth 6X). And there aren't many pubs where you can buy a decent sandwich for less than £6. paul_d102 - 19 Nov 2024 09:16 |
| Nice corner terrace pub with two rooms, large bar and quiet lounge. I had a nice pint of real ale. alistair_cross - 28 Oct 2019 20:53 |
| A functioning pub or a tourist attraction for people who like WW1. Certainly unusual but after an initial visit, nothing would make me clamour to go back. Food OK - but I would pass on the Oatcake with various stuffings... Overpriced. Had black sheep on, but not on my side of the bar. Went for some seasonal xmassy beer which was decent.

| It’s a mark of how the beer and pub scene has changed over the years, that this place, once regarded as a fabled mecca, nowadays just seems a quaint curiosity. As previous posters have intimated, the whole interior of the pub is given over to period advertising – mainly around the period of the first world war. Furnishings also have a comfortable retro look about them. It certainly is an eye-opener for a casual visitor – one of the few places where people rightly want to take photos in the gents toilets ! Unfortunately, it is let down by the choice of beer. Or rather the lack of choice – just two unexciting national brands being available. I had the Bombardier Gold which, whilst reasonable wasn’t spectacular. Food is available, at least at lunchtimes. I didn’t sample any, but judging ny all the plates I saw being cleared away being empty, I guess the quality is good ! My latest visit was on my own, so I didn’t come across the “no groups” ruling. I did however, notice that the indoor advert for bar staff was mirrored by one outside advertising for customers ! 6/10 – 8 for pub interior, 4 for beer selection ! Martinsh - 16 Sep 2014 22:13 |
| Agree with NottsHammer. Went to this pub in April, Harvest Pale was decent however, noticing the signage on the way out stating no groups aloud forces me to give a low score. What's wrong with having groups come in? If they get rowdy you can ask them to leave. It also reminded me of a scene from waiting for god soco1982 - 11 Jul 2014 14:31 |
