A simple pub in Middle if refurbishment - steel gates blocking use of part of indoor area however quite comfortable bench tables with cover.
Inside is very small and 'old school'. Crumbed squid strips from the standard pub grub menu were lovely, other food being delivered looked great and drinks well priced, even though I had to explain what Pimms was. Very much a beer and bourbon, maybe vodka or a simple cocktail "for the ladies".
Staff need training on how to deal with drunk patrons, including cutting people off and removal, even if the customer is a regular. People only behave how they are allowed to. It should not take a fellow patron, female, to step in and tell a noisy obnoxious regular to shut up or leave - especially during a show tickets had been purchased for.
Similarly, if doing live entertainment for purchase, check tickets and prevent non ticket holders from attending, otherwise we paying customers feel ripped off.
Generally a nice simple pub for the locals.
