Hogshead, High Wycombe

This used to be a really good pub but I went back a few weeks ago and I was shocked at how poor it has become. Given its size and ability to offer drink promotions it really should be one of the best pubs in Wycombe but there is a complete lack of any atmosphere whatsoever. Its like a big youth club that needs a good clean. There are bits of the ceiling missing, big dirty stains on the walls, the toilets are a state and the bar is constantly sopping wet.
One redeeming feature is that it doesn't and never has had doormen and there is never any trouble. Which goes to show that town centre pubs don't need them and often they cause trouble rather than prevent it. Before anyone commnets I have worked as a doorman at nightclubs and fully support their use at that type of venue, but pubs just don't need them.
I am genuinely disappointed at the plight of this pub and have only bothered to write this in the hope that someone associated with the Hogshead reads it and takes some sort of action.

If you're looking for a place to have a quick pint and watch some sport you could do a lot worse than this. Nothing fancy just a decent pub.

A good pub in a great location. If it was a bit less pricey it would be excellent.
