Samsons Bar, Springbourne

Hard to believe this place as the plush South-Western Hotel, which it was back in the seventies, with an old boy playing a grand piano as you walked in the front door. More like something from Dodge City now. Must be yet another candidate for closure and demolition.

Good real ales but the prices are a complete rip-off. Best avoided unless you've got money to waste. Suspect this may be gay-orientated as very few women frequent this place and the clientele seems to be exclusively male in the 40/50s age group.

Good locals' pub with excellent selection of well-served real ales. Shame that some of the staff and also the landlord are so morose and unwelcoming.
