点评:New owners do not understand what made it a good pub before. They have taken a old traditional ‘Black Country’ pub with original features that attracted civilised drinkers and tried to modernise it. They have installed large TV screens, put out modern decking, put in a new PVC doors and seats, all of which are not aligned aligned to the character of the building.
The new owners have even managed to squeeze a games machine behind the doors to the lounge at the cost of the door only opening half way. The result of these poor decisions have created a poor, rowdy atmosphere, attracting the wrong crowd of people.
The new owners didn’t seem to have much experience pulling pints - having beer splashed back on them and taking ages to serve. We miss the community connection we once had, such as the monthly newsletter that was on each table, or the events which Rob put on, such as the brass band at Christmas. I have also heard there have been a couple of incidents where glasses were thrown across the room. This weekend was meant to be a cider festival, but they couldn’t even staff that this evening and had to shut that down.
It really is a shame, it used to be a nice safe atmosphere, where I’d recommend go for a drink.
My recommendations for a good pint include Old Swan, Netherton; The Bull’s Head, Gornal; The Brit, Gornal.

新主人甚至设法将游戏机塞进休息室的门后,代价是门只开了一半。这些糟糕决定的结果造成了糟糕、喧闹的气氛,吸引了错误的人群。
新主人似乎没有太多拉品脱的经验 - 啤酒溅到他们身上并需要很长时间才能服务。我们怀念曾经拥有的社区联系,例如每张桌子上的每月时事通讯,或者 Rob 举办的活动,例如圣诞节的铜管乐队。我还听说有几起玻璃杯被扔到房间另一头的事件。这个周末本来是一个苹果酒节,但他们今晚甚至都没有工作人员,不得不关闭它。
真的很遗憾,它曾经是一个很好的安全氛围,我建议去那里喝一杯。
我推荐的一品脱啤酒包括 Old Swan,Netherton;公牛头,Gornal;英国人,戈尔纳尔。
