Yes, I was in there the night I wrote the review. I was also in there on the 9th December. Three deep at the bar with four bar staff. One of whom took absolutely no notice of the order people had been waiting, if you were female you got served straight away. A complaint was made, what did he do, serve another woman who had got to the bar as he was explaining "It's not my fault". The manager served us straight away at this point [after waiting 30 minutes].
Oh, by the way, the reason it's packed isn't because it's great, it's because it's cheaper than the other pubs in HX. It's like saying The Sun is the best paper because it sells the most....

I've just returned from there. What a joke. Service is terrible. It's a shame as they do decent beers.
My friend asked for Okocim and was given a completely different beer. When he questioned it he was told 'Well it's the same sort of beer'. Cue looking to a fridge with about ten bottles of Okocim in it.
They had a fantastic two bottles of Tyskie left when we arrived [19.45].
They need more staff and clued up staff at that.

Friendly locals and bar staff. Plenty of screens to watch sport.

Great pub, really friendly. No music or TV's so conversation for once. Landlord actually seems to be interested in his customers [that's a first for me]. Don't be put off by the fact that everyone knows each other, you'll be chatting to them in no time.
