Blue Scrumpy left this review about Ounce
Ounce is more of a steakhouse restaurant than a bar/pub. We arrived to an almost empty restaurant only to be asked if we'd reserved a table. We asked for one of the tables just for a drink and were told that they were all reserved, but that we were welcome to stop for 10 minutes if we could drink quickly.
To give them a point, they do still have a cask ale (HPA). We duly drank up within 10 minutes to leave the place pretty much as empty as when we'd arrived (just a couple of the masses booked had turned up).
Pretentious would be the best word to describe this sort of establishment. The decor is quite nice. But there are prices to match.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Marwood
A mix between a modern pub and bistro. There was about half a dozen trendy female staff, congregated at the end of the bar, chatting away and getting prepared for a busy evening. The member of staff who served us was pleasant and helpful. The beer we choose was Malvern Hills, Black Pear premium bitter, which was decent. There was music playing at a reasonable level, the main eatery was towards the rear of the pub and there was a tapas bar upstairs. The clientele were middle aged and pretentious.

A small terraced pub and restaurant with a rear patio area. Hemmed a little by large neighbours, the pub looks a mix of Georgian and Victorian in style. it is white painted brick with black paintwork and has rounded sash windows, dog-tooth cornice, an entablature above the door and with a dormer window perched on top.
The interior has a long straight room, that opens out in the middle to accommodate the serving bar, as well as a bit of part-partioning to break it up. The front is more for drinking, the rear more for eating, although there is another room above that i didn't see that is used for dining too. The decor is quite straight-forward, white ceiling, white artexy walls and a mix of stone flag and wood floor. There is the occasional beam thrown in too. There is a nice fireplace and the art on the walls is a bit bistro-style - old continental posters rings a bell, as well as ornate mirrors. There is an eclectic range of seating from pouffes to solid wood chairs with cushions on them. I didn't eat here, so can't comment on that. The service was very friendly and there were a few in at our early visit, both eating and simply drinking. There was no TV that i saw and the background music was general stuff at a decent level.
Beer; usual tap stuff with Peroni and other Continental beers, as well as Banks's Sunbeam, St George's Ascalon and a decent Butcome Bitter on handpull.
I enjoyed my pint here. A place i would happily pop into, although not really my style of place to stay for any length of time.
