I've been in here a few times including Xmas Eve and always had a lovely time except for one incident last week which although may seem minor has caused me to cancel a pre arranged booking & caused me a terrific amount of pain.The bars now run by a delightful lady from.The Wirral and she's done a brilliant job of cleaning this pubs act up so a massive well done to her .It's spotlessly clean, the bar staff are well presented, service is good and they have some extremely busy times & still keep smiling throughout. There's a brilliant outdoor seating area for both non & smokers and the security man is as polite as anyone could ever be holding the door open for customers.All in all an excellent night out & yes there sre other bars equally as good in town where you get a very similar welcome but it's very easy to just spend a whole evening here without bothering to trail around.My only small niggle is people with drinks on the dancefloor. I'd got up as I've been home for a few weeks with this flu bug so not feeling 100% anyway and decided to see of I could dance as I'd a big night booked the day after which will be all dancing. I was really pleased and doing OK when a young woman who was doing some type of "look at me I'm sloshed" routine, barged into me throwing half a bottle of whatever in the air. I said something to the effect of be careful & put my hands up in a stop gesture. She looked mortified that I'd told her off a bit I suppose but she'd really been playing it up. I saw her & her friend in the ladies 10 minutes later chatting away in a perfectly sober way ??!! What the hell's that all about ? ??? Anyway I did mention it to the doorman & asked him to have a word with the landlady as she wasn't the only one spilling their drink but I was jolted in this incident and I've got quite bad arthritis in one knee and basically couldn't stand on it the day after so drinking on dancefloors is a massive no no for me, its dangerously slippy afterwards and was cleaned up instantly by staff but surely safer all round to stop allowing it. Otherwise this pub would have got a score of 5 ☆ any other time I've visited. Cheers guys, you are doing a brilliant job !! X
