Strongers . left this review about The Phantom
Outside the front of the Phantom, in what was probably once a car park, are some cobbles alongside a patio area that sits around astroturf on which some picnic tables sit. Bifold doors along the rear open onto a couple of pool tables found in an extension to the right-hand side of the pub. Inside is a long central staple-shaped serving counter that faces seating across the front of the pub that is partly separated from the bar area by come supporting walls. To the left of the counter is more seating and a projector screen that was airing muted Sky Sports while some random background music played off the jukebox during a recent midweek afternoon visit. to the right of the counter is another projector and some high tables that run to the aforementioned pool tables in the right rear extension. Standard, premium and mainstream craft keg products were available from the polite barman when he eventually showed his face. The is a run-of-the-mill high street boozer that has some stiff competition from the Blue Monkey Brewery just around the corner, so I’ll not be returning.

Yup you guessed from the name it’s a dreary drinking barn for the kids, no cask of course, disengaged staff. Usual rubbish on keg, even the spirits are mainly boring dross. Loads of screens and machines and of course music. They charge a massive premium on halves, 55p on a nasty Camden Hells. Little to recommend the place.

One large through room with several real ales but nothing above 4.5% ABV. Nothing special about this place.
