Just been done out and very nice it is too cos it was starting to look a bit tired. Now selling Caffreys which was nice but no branded glassware for it (in the post apparently ....deduct one point lol). Lounge was packed out cos a wake was in so we ate in the little room. Don't know what Super Pints findings confusing about the menu. Lists what they sell and how much it costs and they don't have a specials board anywhere but barmaid says they're getting one (lovely woman who has been there for 30 yrs) Seen a few ijeets asked to leave and not return which makes for a nice atmosphere cos you're not sitting waiting for the place to kick off. Bar staff are canny; couple of them are a bit quiet. It's not cheap and they don't do offers on the beer so that tends to keep the ass*oles at bay which suits us.

Pub still there, but this fine sign disappeared years ago. Banks's have always had an on-off attitude regarding their sign policy. This was undoubtedly one of their better examples before they went on their 'satellite dish' campaign.

CLOSED. Now a Restaurant (20/02/09)

Recommended by mates so we all went for the karaoke on the saturday night. Good fun and the regulars were a good crowd. It was packed so the atmosphere was cracking. Carling was spot on and daughter said the wine was ice cold. Haven't eaten here but have heard good reports. Good choice on the menu and not expensive. Mate says you can't move after the big stack burger so i'l try it next time. Good nite out.
