    The attraction of camping, even near a pub does not excite me, however it would seem a good revenue stream for some pubs, I know of two local ones that do well from it The Flowerpots Inn and The Travellers Rest

    I guess "location, location, location" is the key factor
    I drink to make others more interesting

    Going by previous reviews, admittedly older, seems a first time poster was well pleased

    Obviously a miraculous transformation in the last couple of years.

    Haven't had one of these for a while: someone's keyboard is missing all the punctuation marks.

    Sounds like a nice place, though, with a sofa corner, karaoke big screen and security cameras.

    Actually the former guise wasn't much to my taste so this could be an improvement..
    Anyway I'll check it out again on my way home later in the week and leave a more subjective review....

    This one is wonderful ... I can only assume it's written without irony rather than as a parody of the sort of restaurant advertorial you get in local freesheets

    If things have changed since a previous review, then update everyone - dont give twitter and facebook links - after all, it is a review website.

    As it is so good, we should really have a picture of Alfie Grimshaw's chip shop as well!
