No music, no puggies, great pies. ETA - Good beers too, usually several guest ales but their Belhaven Best is top drawer ! An excellent recommendation my good man, in my dotage the lack of canned music is bliss. Edited November 15, 2023 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone with the modernisation. I found that pub so depressing. Thank goodness it’s gone. Star and Garter was the place to drink near the station. The train drivers used to be in there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malones is actually acceptable as well, Guinness in there usually very good. Blue Blazer further up the hill is a great pub too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be on less than firm ground here (I don't get the weiss-bier thing) but why go to an old man's pub on the recommendation of the quality of its' draught beers and then order a bottle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived more or less upstairs from the Willow for a while about 20 years ago. The variety of punter it attracted was quite something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
