Not been in here for about 30 years, and the layout has hardly changed. I must say the landlord was very welcoming and the wine was a damn sight cheaper than the majority of pubs in Sale.
Good place for early doors drinking, and there were a few stalwarts happily whiling away the twilight hours supping their chosen beverages.
No complaints here, and Eric, the resident toddler, grabbed my wife's little finger and tried to evict her to the garden.
We will return.
Back in again tonight, early doors. Great atmosphere, shared a table with a bunch of lads having a great time.
Well decent prices and a very efficient landlord. Again, this is what a proper pub should be like.

This is a pub we have frequented on and off over the years, sometimes when Sale Sharks were at Heywood Road in the good old days.
We have drunk in here on a few occasions but sometimes put off by the lack of space, but only a couple of months ago realised it had a nice seating area upstairs also.
We happened by this week, and it was a Thursday, so we decided to see if it was OK on a quiet early evening and we weren't disappointed.
The service was quick, efficient, and friendly, and there was plenty of room to relax.
Good vibe, and we will be back.
Went in again tonight, and we've discovered a problem with the pub. After going in a few times over the last few weeks, they have the annoying habit of putting the same loop of music on time and time again, and it doesn't change.
I had a word with the staff behind the bar and asked why this music never changed, one of them was too busy on her mobile phone to look up, so no response there, the other staff a gentleman and lady said they couldn't change the music as it was beyond their control.
The pub is very good apart from the revolving music and the mobile obsessed lady who didn't have the curtesy to thank us when we returned our glasses and ice bucket the last time we gave them our custom.
Back in again tonight, nice and quiet.

Lovely bridge shame, its backside hasn't been wiped, so to speak. A little tidying up wouldn't go a miss or cost a lot.
I was last here about 35 years ago and the type of shops and cafes hasn't changed much.
Being a centre spot attraction should give the owners some pride to be there, but it all seems so tired.
The best place was the Thai Weir alongside the bridge which was an oasis in the Bath desert, perfect place to sit and watch the bridge, the boats and the numerous amount of people passing through the seating area who were oblivious to the fact that you could just have a drink and take in this lovely bridge.

Only came in for a light lunch and a drink and enjoyed the atmosphere the food came fresh and quickly with a smile..from the staff not the food..my wife had a tuna baguette and I had a Croque Monsieur..very tasty.
We sat outside and it was a cold bright afternoon but there were outside heaters.
A good place with quite a few people here..would come again as we enjoyed it and the food was spot on.

Always great food & lovely people running the place, had a great meal at good prices.
Another really good Sweet and Sour pork tonight, love the food here.
Went in again tonight the lady owner still as happy as ever.
Had a shrimp curry tonight...lovely...
