Strongers . left this review about Orwells
Orwells is a small bar with a stone floor and traditional décor that was busy on my Tuesday evening visit that coincided with a bonfire night fireworks display in the park opposite. The serving counter with standard keg runs up the left-hand wall and banquettes run up the right. Now TV was muted on the television while the community came together to rejoice in the foiling of the gunpowder plot… or maybe they were just catching up because they’d not seen each other for a while.

Formerly The Dorchester, Orwells is a small, one-roomed pub set in a residential block just off St Vincent Street. It's an unspoilt bar and has a homely feeling with what look like original Edwardian ceilings, a rather naff tartan carpet and etched windows to the front. There is a snug to the rear with a cast iron fireplace. The walls are decorated with various pictures of the area in former times and a selection of brewery mirrors. There was no real ale, but the welcome was warm and pleasant from staff and customers alike - I don't think they get many visitors here. A large projector and pull-down screen are used to show sports events. Although this is a good community pub of type rare in this area, its lack of real ale makes it difficult to recommend for a crawl, although it is worth dropping in for a quiet soft drink to escape the bustle.
