Value for Money

Pros:

• "Cheap food, expensive pints."
• "Cheap. 'Knows its place' seems like a horrible thing to say, but I do mean it as a positive. Good drinks, stereotypical pub-food, good location, nice outside area out the back - all remarkably cheap. Ideal post-work drinking in the sun."
• "Food isn't bad quality and is probably one of the cheapest places in bath to sit in and have a meal."
• "The prices were more reasonable than any pubs or restaurants I ate at prior."

Cons:

• "Paid £10 and we were given a table outside with less than enough space."
• "Was in bath for a few hours so stopped off for a drink will be honest the place looks clean well looked after but I think it on the price side for 2 pints to cost just under £10 and they both were shandy can see the do food but did not try anything."
• "Honestly, the new landlords are lovely people, and they've really tried to get this place up to scratch, however it's definitely falling shy of what myself and most others would expect of a pub that charges almost a fiver on a pint."
