| Having been a couple of times recently, more for convenience than choice, I can�t see that the closure of this place will be a big loss to many people if the previous poster is correct. The only real plus points are that it is cheap and you can guaranteed a seat. It hardly has the most inviting exterior and once inside it does not take long to soak up the rather grim, plain and drab interior. The whole place looks like it is on its last legs with redundant beer pumps, unused food counter and a general atmosphere of depreciation. Where there was until recently a relatively comfy sofa lounge area, there is now a pool table (being used last night by the sort of person who should not have been served in the first place) and a pile of empty kegs. The furnishings are basic and the drink selection is at best poor. The music is a weird mix of anything from jazz to Genesis and there is an old upright piano in the corner although I really can�t imagine there being many Knees Up Mother Brown sing songs on a Saturday night. The plasma screen was pointlessly on with the sound down and there are a few fruit machines etc but very little has been done to make the place attractive or inviting. I'm afraid that this place is as depressing a pub as I have been to in a long while. RogerB - 8 Dec 2006 12:39 |

| Please ignore the review from 6 Feb...the fact that this reviewer is talking about 'working class' folk and 'inebriated patrons' shows you just what a cloistered life Stonch must have led. Inebriated patrons in a pub - heaven forbid! The staff are subperb, the food is delicious, the patrons are the friendliest bunch you could hope to meet. And the fact that its 'working class' can only be applauded in an area filled with moronic wannabes. This is a true pub and quite frankly it's all the better off for not having class warriors such as Stonch as regulars...(good luck to the Tories in the local election Stonch!) There is a fine selection of beers for all tastes and the wine list is surprisingly long and reasonable. I would have rather not have felt the need to write this review since i like the fact the North One is generally quiet - it's one of my refuges - and in many ways i'd like to keep it quiet. Sadly i felt obliged to write this following Stonch's comments which are totally unfair. Go and try the place out for yourself - and for those you not familiar with the 'working classes' - if nothing else it will be an education! PatrickBurns - 20 Apr 2006 11:47 |
| You really feel they are trying so hard to give a modern gastropubby feel to this place, sadly they fail. Not too bad but zero soul. A million standard procedure lagers on draught (they have everything of that type plus leffe) but no real ale (two handpumps without even pump clips attached hiding at the end of the bar). Barmaid was quite friendly as were the inebriated patrons. Seems very working class which makes the attempt at a modern interior all the stranger. anonymous - 6 Feb 2006 10:20 |
