Causeway — Restaurant in England

Wonderful boozer full of character and with four rooms each with a different vibe. The managers are very hospitable: Amy and Sean. Choice of ales was Cameron Strongarm - very much an acquired taste, and not one I ever acquired - Marston Pedigree and Hobgoblin. I went for the Pedigree. Didn’t eat. Not sure food on on New Year’s Eve. Although I lived in the Pool until the age of 18 this is not a pub I ever knew.

It just wasn't a pleasant experience. I can see that people do enjoy this pub, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I don't want...

The pint I did have was well kept though so no stars lost. Lots of smaller rooms and nooks which is ideal for groups. Friendly service and dog friendly. The courtyard is excellent (albeit for the extremely loud extractor fans of the building next door) and a welcome retreat from roadside tables. Worth a visit if you're visiting.
