| A 'community pub'. If you are going to park in their car park make sure you are actually using the pub as they have attentive car clampers around the corner. Garish decoration and an interesting clientele. Part of the Tanners Pub Co. a chain of 18 pubs I believe, the landlord is actually quite enthusiatic about real ale, Loddon Hullabaloo when I was there, Loddon Hoppit was breathing ready for the weekend, he is also getting is own badged 'Chequers Ale' brewed by Tetley.

| One is not really sure how anyone can consider the nefarious Chequers to have improved anytime in the last century. I was unfortunate enough to have risked a return visit this past week to be confronted by this year's winner of "The Rudest Barmaid/Gnome Award". I took objection to the fact whilst I, a paying customer, had been waiting five or so minutes she let a fellow gnome (albeit a balding male one) push in then be given free cider without any indication he would pay now or later. Why he was receiving free Strongbow is anyone's guess but for reasons of good taste I don't want to consider the possible favours this freebie entailed. I pointed this fact out and was asked to mind my own business but upon sitting down noticed the fellow was back again within 10 minutes and sure enough another free pint was forthcoming. I can only presume this Marge (I think that was her name) must have shares in the pub otherwise they could be out of business at this rate! Jeb_Crane - 3 Dec 2011 13:08 |

| My God. I went back to this pub today after a break of 2 years since my enforced patronage some years ago. TO explain why I've given it two points: It shows football. It serves alcohol. It has nothing else to credit it. The lines are never cleaned and the staff hygiene leaves much to be desired. On my last visit, an elderly patron ( who should have been ejected by this point because he was so drunk ) was repeatedly served whole bottles of wine. Halfway through his third, he wet himself all over one of the seats on his table. Despite the fact that he loudly let the whole pub know what had happened before shuffling out of the pub, the staff did not bother to clean it, arguing amongst themselves. until the pub was totally infused with the stench of urine. I went there today to check if they would be showing the Arsenal West Ham game and have returned home to see if there is anywhere else in Woodley I can watch it. MajorDamo - 15 Jan 2011 15:07 |
