Noisy place, this, with one large room with the bar to the left. Three or four real ales, the strongest of which was a slightly iffy Hobgoblin.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old Post Office
Nothing old about this Stonegate pub in an arcade of bars including Flava and the next-door Wetherspoons. Formed from a single square room with the counter along one side, a slightly-raised seating area in one corner and two pool tables in another. Also has a few small patio tables out front. Usual cheap food offers. Background music. On the real ale front, just Greene King IPA and Doom Bar (£2.95) available from two banks of three handpumps.

This former Hogshead is operated by Town and City pubco and is right next door to the Wetherspoons and I made the mistake of thinking that this was just another bar area of the 'spoons.There are six handpumps ,offering four unexciting ales on my trip Courage Best,Bomber,GK IPA and Abbott which were at least drinkable.Very dozy bar staff,joshing with regulars and serving them immediately while strangers waited in vain at the bar.One barmaid in particular had perfected the technique of walking around the bar looking in cabinets,shuffling papers,fiddling with the till while studiously avoiding serving an increasing number of frustrated punters .
Food offering very value orientated from a standard menu.At the rear there is a raised area with two pool tables but the mixture of high tables,dining tables and sofas give this place a very generic ,plastic bar feel.Alcohol pricing a little higher than 'spoons but the clientele is similarly intoxicated.Not very inviting.
