Given that this was the Slug & Lettuce in October 2008, I must have come here even earlier when this was the Hogshead; it was a meeting place - likewise suffered by Steve below - chosen by a so-called ‘friend’ as there’s no way I would visit a venue like this voluntarily.
I doubt that it was different then from the last review, i.e. crap. To echo BF below: I can see no reason to revisit, there are far better pubs close by.

I visited the Editors Tap on the Thursday evening before Christmas when ten plus years ago a pub like this would have been heaving, but there were tables available which is sad. The interior is L-shaped with mostly high tables to the right where the counter across the rear wall supports premium and mainstream craft keg, no cask here. Standard seating is found to the left and there’s more seating in the left rear on the way to the toilets where someone was being very ill. Televisions throughout were airing Sky Sports and there was some background music playing loud enough to be heard over the chatter. The service was friendly enough, but this is one of them places you end up when the evening has been arranged by someone that doesn’t do pubs, as was the case for my visit.

A large and slightly noisy place in Stonegate's City Bars group, which seems to be the city workers' equivalent of a student bar. The usual Stonegate catalogue design features abound - glazed tiles, bare brick, neon signs and odd artworks. Sports TVs are in all directions, but at least with the volume off. The bank of four handpumps bizarrely had just Robinson's Dizzy Blonde on (even the Doom Bar was not available) but it was in good order. A small wall of keg taps had some more interesting crafty stuff. I can't say it did a great for me but it was at least a genuine pub and the beer was ok.
