Bucking Fastard left this review about Golden Griffin
A classic estate pub owned by McMullens and serving the once notorious Sele Farm.The dark brown slatted window blinds caused a moments hesitation,but I pressed on inside and was pleasantly surprised at the tidy interior surrounding an L shaped bar.Karndean flooring and upholstered bench seating with a few Chesterfield chairs around the bar,with a seperate carpeted pool room with darts to the rear with a mix of sofas, high chairs and tables.There are a lot of flatscreens with Sky and BT Sports coverage,which will include a 3pm Saturday ko match from an overseas Sky feed.One niggle was the overloud local commercial radio station playing current pop music,not needed as the pub was reasonably busy.It looks like a wet led pub,I could see no sign of food and at the bar the three handpumps were dispensing AK,Cask (£3.10 and well kept) and a seasonal Mc Mullens brew of Tommy's Tipple.The barman was friendly and asked if I wanted my pint in a jug or glass,nice touch.
There are a few benches outside for external drinking and a decent sized car park.
The punters were all well behaved on my Friday lunchtime visit,and the atmosphere was pleasantly relaxed so despite the location,this may not be a bad option to watch televised sport and sink some pints.
