Double pub review this month for reasons that will become clear very soon. This used to be The Hogshead when I last went there (some time ago) and the layout hasn’t changed much despite the name change. An airy front section has plenty of room for tall tables and equally perilous stools although there are some nice big sofas in the corner if you like that sort of thing. A couple of plasma TV’s are placed well enough so that they don’t become too much of a distraction and there’s also a couple of pool tables if the chat gets really boring.
Beer was reasonably priced and the place wasn’t busy on a Tuesday. Then again that could have been because at about 9-ish the band arrived and proceeded to play some laid-back jazz, slightly too loud to allow for the usual stellar conversation about formations, signing targets and bus routes. So, after a quick political rant from yours truly we drank up and snuck off across the road to the Blue Blazer.
