A well decorated cosy pub that at first made me feel welcome and at home. Different seating areas with tables, stools and sofa seats was a bonus and something some central pubs forget to think about.
However, an hour in and the bad experiences all seem to come at once. Firstly a trip to the much dreaded toilet. And dreaded is unfortunately the right word in this case. You are lead on a long trip down steep stairs, no easy thing in heels - ladies beware! And then before I even enter the toilets I think the state of the door was warning enough.
I was amazed at how a toilet fit into such a small space because I definitely didn't fit in there with that and a door that opened into the cubicle. I was also pretty disturbed by the scratched and graffitied walls. How much is a pot of Dulux nowadays anyway?
And then much to my shock there is the sink and some handwash in the cubicle with you stopping the door opening enough for the skinniest of ladies. At least it's somewhere to rest your chin while you are hovering over an unclean toilet with a seat that is clinging on for dear life!
On return to my table someone came over to the table with the bill claiming that I had to leave if I wasn't eating food - charmed I'm sure! But also, I know I should have expected this considering the location but £3.50 for a pint of lemonade! Well, won't be affording another one of them any time soon, I may as well have had a pint at £4 something! Lesson learned!
