Spotted 4 ales on and a big crowd eating steak. Pub has been done up and looks good. The Norweign Blue was good according to my fellow drinkers.

Mike the landlord was behind the bar of the Albion opposite having taken over as temp Management. One beer on here, Four Candles ale at £3.60 a pint. 40p more than his own pub.

Evening. First visit here. For me the bright airy bistro style seemed out of place in this area of town. Couple of other customers.

Caledonian - Old Seadog IPA5.20PoorThe barmaid pulled some through into a jug then served mine. Still too warm and pretty awful beer. If this is IPA style then I am a chinaman (ah so!). I could detect no bitterness so Caledonian please stick to your malty mixes but leave the epithet IPA to others

Myself and a friend were trying to find some live music on a Sunday afternoon and this was our last resort. Haven't been here in years and its completely different inside. Part pub and part trendy wine bar, but it works I really liked it.

We had been in the Four Candles which is directly opposite this pub, and decided to pop in here for a bite to eat, I had never been in here but I liked it and intend to come again.
