Quinno _ left this review about The Thomas Wolsey
A vast disappointment - looks lovely on the outside (and indeed has an amazing side passage smoking area surrounded by Tudor(?) buildings) but inside is a dull opened-out bar that has been defiled by multiple half-arsed modernisation over the years. Staffed by a bunch of gormless if well-meaning teenage girls it was no surprise that even with three ales on, the Lacons East Coast Pale was a watery flat mess (NBSS 2) - so much for its GBG21 listing. The main highlight was the ‘bouncer’ who looked like a Kenny Rogers tribute act. I suspect he’d struggle to bounce a basketball.
Visited early August.

Back to being called the Thomas Wolsey by the looks. Nothing to write home about real ale wise but there was Goose Island IPA on keg at 6% ABV which was a decent drink.
