I decided to have a family day out at the pub to enjoy some nice, cold IPAs. Upon ordering my first IPA, I was verbally assualted by a deranged old man named 'Bob'. ''Piss-water'', ''Puff-Juice'' were just some of the terms shouted at me and my disabled 4 year old daughter.As we retreated to the door due to the amount of abuse, the old man continued to follow us, shouting about ''fighting at the height of the troubles'' and that he had ''been awake since 5am!!''.It was sad to see what once could of been a nice normal man, had become a shell of himself. Maybe it's the PTSD.

Me and my brother fancied a pint after competing in a Ping Pong tournament nearby (Doubles) . We saw the Union Jack flags and bunting outside and decided to go in. Proper old school place. Welcoming atmosphere, real working man's, Brexit voting, salt of the earth, Tiger drinking, hard as nails yet soft as a puppy type place. We got talking to some fella at the bar, said his name was Arthur but we could call him Art. He told us all about his life. All about his wife Susan, his pet bulldog Alfred and his late friend Bob. Apparently this Bob fellow was in the forces in Northern Ireland during the height of the troubles (very dangerous.) Sounds like a top fella. Would have been nice to have met him. Apparently he did a great Frank Sinatra tribute. Great place highly recommend.

Took a wrong turn and ended up passing by this place so decided to call in. Best thing I ever did! Ordered a pint of Fosters - when an old local guy started shaking his head and shouted “we drink Tiger in here!”, so of course I changed my order and got him one too (he looked a bit of a hard man despite his age and I’m not local!). Spent the next couple of hours buying rounds with Bob - he told me a bit about his time in the military in Northern Ireland before his other friend turned up and we parted ways. Would definitely go again if it wasn’t so far from me ?

Pubs like this make you proud to be English. Went in with a couple of mates before a big night out. Typically we would get the Jaegerbombs in, but when we went to the bar, one of the oldies propping up the bar took exception and said we should stick to the Tiger.After ordering 3 Tigers, and one for our new mate Bob, we had a cracking night and ended up staying until close. Bob or Big Bob to his old army mates starting telling us about his time in the forces, especially when he was stationed in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles.Fantastic place, with a proper Brexit, Union Jack style decor. We will be back and hopefully Bob is in to greet us!

Turned up at the Nags Head earlier today after hearing so much about a character by the name of Old Bob. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an individual by the name of Arthur - a friend of Old Bob & a Nags Head regular I am lead to believe. I asked Arthur when Bob would turn up, however he then became misty-eyed (didn't cry mind you, tells me men of his calibre are made of sterner stuff) and informed me that Bob had passed away just a couple of days ago on the toilet with a pot noodle in hand. As shocking as this news was, Arthur was only too happy to indulge me in the tales of Old Bob's life. His Frank Sinatra tribute acts, the dollybirds, his beloved Maureen as well as tales of his time in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles (something which I was not familiar with). We raised a pint of Tiger in his memory & parted ways. Sleep easy Bob, the country will always be in debt to men like you.

i don’t usually go to pubs as i prefer going to more modern places that serves a nice cider but i was pleasantly surprised with the nags head! upon entering i found an old boy called bob sat drinking a tiger ale. i got chatting to bob and had a brilliant evening with him! turns out he served in ireland at the height of the troubles (dangerous) but he doesn’t like to mention it (the barmaid told me!). i strongly recommend this pub to any english loving man. fantastic pub with fantastic people.

Lovely visit to this establishment. Went in and ordered a pint of their finest Fosters when an elderly gentleman interjected and suggested ditching the 'pointless fizzy piss' and that i should instead opt for a pint of the pubs speciality, Tiger ale. He told me it was a mans drink and would put hairs on my chest. When asked, he told me his name was Bob and ,with a bit of digging, that he was ex forces. He left shortly after due to being up at 04:45 for his daily workout. Puts us youngsters to shame. Would highly recommend the ale, the pub and the bantz!! ❤Bob

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I was in Enderby and was shocked to see so many England flags without any protests. I had to go in, I immediately heard God Save the Queen playing on repeat. I went to go order a pint of coke until an older man named Bob walloped me for drinking a soft drink. Bob made me order a pint of tiger so I bought him and his dollybird Tatiana one as well. Bob is ex-forces and was initially hesitant to tell me about his time "Dishing out wallopings to the nancyboys." However you can tell that the forces never left this man. He wakes at 4:30 every morning and begins extensive military training at 5. There was another older man from the forces there named Arthur. Bob and Arthur clearly knew each other, however Arthur said some nasty things so Bob walloped him back to 1962. I walked in a remoaner accountant who didn't drink and left a real man undergoing extensive training to join the military, drinking tiger for breakfast and a granite Brexit supporter.Decor was a bit dated.

Heard about this place from a mate, goes by the name of Tommy Robinson.Immediately felt at home - bunting, Union Jacks, Chaz & Dave and Bob & Arthur - Brexit couldn’t come soon enough if this is what it looks like.Anyway, Bob & Arthur are regulars and both have their own plaque behind the bar. Both served in NI at a bad time but it made them the men they are today - their stories humbled us.The Tiger was exceptional, I’ve never had such a hairy chest, and after a pep talk from Bob, my 3 year old no longer wears tutu’s. Thanks again Bob.Roll on 19 March 2019.

Was lucky enough to enjoy a pint of mead in this No Deal Brexit establishment. The Union Jack buntings add a real ambience to the pub, as do the plaques behind the bar dedicated to local hero resident named "Bob" who served queen and country in the most perilous of times, a man who is a true testament to the fact legends are born, not manufactured. Was pleasing to see the pub spontaneously erupt into a rendition of "God Save the Queen" throughout the evening, and the re-runs of Only Fools and Horses and Dads Army added a new layer of fun to the evening. Overall I recommend this pub to any carbon fibre brexit man or woman looking forward to a few evening Beers.

Went on a pub crawl and happened to meet a very modest pensioner named Bob. He’s well known in Enderby for his service to Queen and Country in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles (worst time to be there), although he goes by the ex-forces code of silence. Over a few pints of Everards Tiger, I had a good chat with him about the city, Filbert Street, blue passports and granite brexit. Still gets up at 0500 hours to commence shadow boxing on the patio, and goes by the motto, shirts off and down to business.Next thing I knew he was up singing Sinatra, with his rendition of fly me to the moon, whilst I was enjoying a cold pint of wallop juice. Very good value for money with a no-deal Brexit drink and live entertainment.Would definitely visit again. Cheers Matt.
