Lloyd goes here after work for a tipple and LOVES it

Visited on a Thursday evening, we had the place almost to ourselves. The service was great, super friendly, there was a band having a practice so we had free entertainment for the evening. A pool table and the food was tasty. £20 for 2 drinks and 2 meals, you can't go wrong!

Great little club. Making a great effort to improve the range of drinks and facilities. Always have a good night here. Recently relaunched has been decorated and freshened up. Good choice of drinks now and with a new food menu. Great prices and friendly staff. There is often live music on a Saturday night.

My wife and I went in this week intending to have a few drinks. When we went in the pub it was empty. There was no central heating, just a couple of portable gas fires. I ordered a pint of thatchers gold and a glass of wine. Cost £11.60 DISGUSTING. Then their regulars came in and were charged almost half of what I paid. I will not be going in there again and definitely would NOT recommend the place. RIP OFF

I used this pub from 1977 until possibly 1984, it was a great biker pub. Always full of likeminded people who were into bikes, music and beer. That said the ‘bottom bar’ (Rotunda Bar) was a bit of a haven for the more ‘smartly dressed’. Then came the name change and ‘repositioning’, they named it ‘Buddy’s (meant to be a sort of ‘nightclub’)…….what idiot thought that was a good move? Form there on in the place was in free fall. Now it’s a sudo pub functioning as a Conservative Club. I went in yesterday, first time in nearly 40 years. It’s been destroyed, the top bar is no more. Whoever authorised the ‘refurbishment’ need taking to court for criminal damage. Sad, a great pub, ruined. On the flip side, the service was friendly.

We didn't have food but the Atmosphere was friendly and the beer was good.

Lovely friendly bar staff. The chips were amazing - well cooked and seasoned. Good range of drinks.

Called in for a drink with my friend. Local band rehearsing ,sounded great. Met Malcolm who was running the bar and a lovely young man called Tim.Had an entertaining evening.
