Went in tonight between 8-9pm Friday 26th of January 2018 . Barmaid spilled beer all over the place which got on my jacket however she only bothered apologizing to the affluent looking couple seated in the bar not to me the customer who had to pay for the eventual pint and I don't have the money to get it dry cleaned or buy another one on a fancy.

My favourite thing about the pub, is the cocktails, as mostly all of them are on their cocktail menu are five pounds. And the one's I've had in the past have been most delicious, tangy and the alcohol subtle enough to not make you swoon, but strong enough tasting so you know that you do have an adults drink in your hand. I've never tried the food, but all the pub...
