I got a pint of Madri. Sat down,lifted the glass to take a sip. The smell hit me. OFF. I tried a sip,tasted slightly sour. I persevered. You never know,your lunch affects your pallet I got through,just under an inch of the pint and gave up. It did smell bad and it did taste sour. The barmaid was brilliant.

Read moreUsed this pub yesterday as was visiting for the match. Perfect location right across the road from the Station and ideal for the shuttle bus to the Stadium. Very friendly and welcoming towards away fans offering 20% off drinks on production of your match ticket. No food but they are happy for you to take food in as long as you tidy up after. All of the ales were in excellent condition and there was plenty of choice of all other drinks too.

The pub was virtually empty, though the barman appeared irritated by our very presence...nice...
