our final review

last rating:

This place is apparently up for sale at the moment and it shows. The paintwork on the outside is flaking off whilst the filthy toilets boast a leaky ceiling. The tepid pop music being played during our visit did nothing to detract from the sense that this is a pub living on borrowed time. It's a shame that such a promising location is not being put to better use as this place has lots of potential. Let's hope things improve soon.

now it's a block of flats - another wasted opportunity.
