It's not a restaurant hence the empty rating for food because there is none. For the other aspects it gets 5 so effortlessly that it makes the star system almost redundant. The array of well kept ales is not quite as expansive as The Royal Oak but it makes little difference. The pub has a beautiful light which drifts or streams in depending on the weather; and light, to me, can make or break a pub. But here it's lovely, whether it's packed or just a couple of old boys enjoying a peaceful pint. Very friendly and efficient service, always welcoming and warm which is how a pub should be.

Absolutely fantastic stay it was a perfect location and a 2 min walk from peace hall …. The pub is very old with a lot of history it’s very interesting to hear . It has a great selection on beers and drinks and amazing pork pies . The rooms are tastefully decorated with very comfy beds and spacious rooms . There is 4 rooms in the pub with one shared huge bathroom with a shower and bath ….it was never a problem having a shared bathroom it seemed to work between all us guest and never a problem . Also had a huge kitchen to make tea / coffee cook breakfast …. All utensils were available to use . The two girls on shift while we stayed were Kira I think and Ellena who were such a delight and very helpful . I would highly recommend staying here it felt home from home . Great prices per night to . We can’t wait to come back .

Lovely place, rooms recently redecorated. Very clean. GREAT shower!!! The staff are lovely and laid back. It's a very welcoming environment. It feels like you're staying at a friend's house.

Great little pub. Aptly named as it's next door to the Minster. As I walked in, I heard "bells were ringing out" from Fairytale of New York, while bells at the Minster were in full peal, a triple bell experience! These 2 beers were available for anyone liking their beer dark and sweet. Other beers included Staropramen. No food on offer except crisps etc.

Good location and a well maintained restaurant. However the girl at the bar is incredibly rude and vile. Almost spoiled our Sunday afternoon experience. Otherwise the place has good ambience and food. The other serving staff seemed nice.

First impressions are a nice little pub on the outskirts of the town centre. The outside seating area is big for the size of the pub and clean.Unfortunately, when you go inside it doesn't match expectations. The place seems quite run down with stained bar stools and ripped seating. The person serving was very friendly but picked up and discarded 2 glasses that were dirty before pouring my drink in the third which when I sat down and started drinking (at a table that looked clean but was actually quite sticky) it turned out to be just as dirty as the first two ?It's a shame as this place could be something special with a bit of effort put in. Really letting itself down.

Phoned before I booked to check i could have a quiet room, not overlooking a road. Told yes, most rooms at the backArrived and given room at the front, over looking road and train line which you could clearly hear.. About 7 guys right under my window really loud as seats under my window outside front of pub and one window didnt close.Went to ask about changing the room and also about WiFi. But felt odd as when walking to bar, everyone turns, stops talking, listening in. So just asked for WiFi password for now.Went back to the room. 3 different options for pub WiFi. Not one of them worked. Went back down to ask again and asked my guys at the bar if I was from London as complaining. Steve, the guy managing the place said he had no idea about Internet and couldn't help. Still didnt ask about the room as felt I couldn't right then.When pub closed, I asked to change room. Finally gave me a room at the back. Then said he was closing up and going home. I asked who else was in the building. He said noone except me as noone lives or works on premises over night. I would never have booked if I had known I would be the only person there from pub closing time.I asked who to contact if a problem and he said he didnt know. Then said he would give me his mobile no. 5 mins later I contacted him as still no WiFi and no TV remote. No response.Also I asked him when in new room, where a locked door in my room led too as was really worried someone could enter from the other side. He said he had no idea. No response when I contacted him.I felt completely vulnerable there and just after 11pm I left and found another place. The next day I got a message from him saying "sorry, I went home to bed". - but I had contacted 5 mins after he gave me the key to the new room. And also - gave me a number noone was going to answer even if I really needed to.I dont know about food as didn't eat here.
