Kingfisher, Wellingborough

After a recent refurbishment, the Kingfisher now has wood laminate flooring throughout. The steps at the entrance lead up to a row of high tables that run across the front faced by the bar along the rear wall. In between is standing room and a single small step that is a perfect trip hazard. Along the right wall is some seating and three steps in the right rear lead up to a pool and dart area. The televisions found throughout were playing music from Magic FM. A very limited standard keg range was available, the Fosters was priced at a very cheeky £2.50 for a half. The service was very friendly, but this place is uninteresting and geared towards the late night weekend trade, so not for me.

Large multi-tiered flea pit - carpet worn to the quick, red and cream shades, basic rear garden. Pool and darts to rear and a number of TVs showing football. Literally nothing of interest at the bar, so half a Guinness it was. ‘Unusual’ locals but the ferocious-looking barman was actually quite friendly. I guess it's mainly a late night/sports venue as I can’t see who it would appeal to outside of those times.

The Kingfisher is situated at the top end of the high street. Once inside you have to go up a few steps to get into the room,the room is decent sized and square shaped,the bar is to the rear,there is a bench seat which faces the bar,plus more bench seating to the right,there is a DJ booth to the front right,the bar is up one step,no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of John Smiths smooth crap which lived up to its name. There is a pool table to the rear right in a small seperate area,background music was playing and horse racing was on the TV. This is quite a sad pub,probably best left for those who like cold fizzy beers. Pub visited 21/6/2014
