Satyr Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Love the place, wish I didnt live on the other side of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I really like it, always friendly and usually at least one or two people I know are in there when I go. It has more of a local pub feel than a town pub. Spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwirler Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Minibus of us once stopped there on our way back from a weekend away, 14 blokes all dressed smart casual, jeans, shirt and jumper etc. Neither chav nor alternative, just normal blokes really. The band that was due on said "I'm not playing until these have supped up and moved on". Clearly knowing where we're not wanted, we finished our drinks and went. Never been back since.

Kaizabella Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Haven't been in ages cos my friends and I like a pool table, but now the Dove has one again, we'll definitely start going back! Been going for years, and its still one of the friendliest pubs in town, has one of the best atmospheres, and I've got so many great memories of going in for "a pint" of Old Rosie with my mum and stumbling home about 6 hours later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it was necessarily people as you describe I had issue with, it was more thier attitude towards the more alternatively dressed people that annoyed me, I'm certainly more middle of the road in my dress.

terryh Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i like the place call quite often but cant understand goldenfleece slagging bankers off at every instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) i like the place call quite often but cant understand goldenfleece slagging bankers off at every instance Just take it from me, they are the Neighbours from Hell!!! Well some of the patrons anyway...not all by any means, but a few bad apples.... When your front door opens directly onto the courtyard at the back of the bankers, you see all sorts of incidents, believe me!!! Thats the ONLY reason and the ONLY issue I have with the premises.......its nothing against Weatherspoons as a company or any individuals who work there, but a hardcore of unruly customers who spill out the back doors on a regular basis. Only earlier today some totally wasted loud and agressive tramp appeared to fall out of the back doors, complete with carrier bags full of clinking bottles of cider..... looked like a Santa Claus who had been in rehab...and been kicked out of rehab too!!! Because the BD is so cheap, 99 pence for some beers I think, it can attract a lot of persons who would not go into other pubs.
