"Amazing setup and wonderful place to relax and enjoy a beverage."
"Interesting pub with a fun atmosphere and a diverse range of beer."

"Lovely place, nice and chilled venue when I went in."
"Great communal bench / table in the middle for socialising."
"Great ambience, great beer and fab staff."
Cons:
"It's not really the kind of place where you end your night, you're almost certainly going to go somewhere else where you can dance and the drinks are familiar."
"The atmosphere lacks any buzz as people stare at their laptops or choice of beer with stale indignation."
"Seating is very limited during COVID outdoor only seating right now."
"The music was way too loud. We literally had to scream to understand each other."
Service & Staff

"The staff is awesome. All around a great place to go for a casual meal."
"The service is well trained and with a smile."
"Always knowledgeable and friendly staff on hand to offer you samples of anything you would like to try."
"The staff are fabulous, chatty and knew their stuff."
"In my visit the service was quite nice and helpful, willing to explain every aspect of the beers of our choice."
Cons:
"Service was VERY slow even after chasing up the order two times, staff seemed rather unenthusiastic to be there too."
"Upon asking the bar staff for a napkin... I received a tirade of pitiful, derogatory, 'OK sir, not a problem sir, I'll ask them for you sir.'"
"Called in for beers and chicken wings. Big disappointment. Flat pint, had better poured from a can."
"Lastly, their service was quite slow, even ludicrously slow. It took nearly 40 mins to bring us our oreos."
"A couple of rude staff when I was asking a few questions (from 2+ meters away!), no help given with ordering."
"I felt they were both very rude!"
"I went to this branch for Wings Wednesday offer having booked a week in advance and everything. They were busy, I understand. However, when I finished my first plate, both gentlemen working there seemed to be ignoring me."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"I came out of the pub really loving the Juicy IPA ... It was very smooth and full of flavour!"
"They also have a really good food menu which incorporates offers and a decent selection of vegan/vegetarian options."
"Layer Cake is chocolate and marshmallow and it's a MUST try."
"The food is amazing. The food menu is really simple and not over complicated."
"Excellent Burgers, great portion sizes and always good quality."
"Drinks were lush, and the menu thankfully has a few vegan options."
"Wonderful! Buffalo burger was superb."
Cons:
"Unlimited wings 11 gbp or 10 wings for 11.50. Ridiculous. Stupid policy. Expensive prices."
"The food was quite expensive too. 14 pounds for a rather small burger and a really small portion of fries."
"We ate in there tonight. The food was awful, cold and the chips tasted like they had been cooked a few times."
"The quality of food wasn't up to the standard of the beer side of things by any means."
"The alcoholic ginger beer sounded promising, but if there was ginger in it, I couldn't tell."
"The spicy chicken burger that we got was more vinegary than spicy, very salty and the chicken was so dry."
"Burger was so high it all just collapsed... Really poor and very lazy way of producing a burger."
Value & Pricing

"Great BrewDog beers as always."
"Great chain with an excellent selection of beers."
Cons:
"A little expensive though."
"Most boring and over priced place I've been to in a long time!"
"It's hard to justify paying so much - especially if you're going to try a £10+ beer."
"The burgers are a bit expensive."
"The food is a bit on the pricy side."
"Prices are high for even just a 1/2 or even 1/3 pint."
"Fairly hefty prices but you pay for quality and location."
Facilities & Extras
Pros:
"Even the toilets impressed me with the marvel wall paper! Fabulous."
"I believe they have phone charging facilities and free wi-fi."
"Clean toilets."
"They also provide free sanitary products in the ladies bathroom, which I think is really thoughtful and a great gesture."

Cons:
"Updated: watchout when you pay by card, had now afew times that I was over charged."
"Turned away as apparently student discount is only valid until 5pm here."
"My friend was sick and they had terrible service I don’t recommend coming here at all."
"Was told we can’t have because we didn’t pre book a table. Place mostly empty."
"If you decide to stay then you get charged a premium rip off fee per drink to drink in the building!"
"Sadly don't get caught short as the toilets make motorway services look luxurious."
"Being forced to sit on the other side of the restaurant was just pointless."
