Broad Street Tavern in Wokingham

Lilii is an absolute pub keeper. Would recommend this place to everyone. Great prices and worm atmosphere. Ooo and the dog 🐕. :-)

The Sunday roast is by far the best in Wokingham. The staff are very accommodating and bend over backwards to make the day. Find some of the reviews very weird. I’ve only seen the landlady ask people to leave when they have been rude or have been up to no good. Love the place my favourite place to drink.

Sunday lunch and football, fantastic day at the Tavern with Lily and team. What an amazing day. Food was fantastic particularly the beef and the ambience was great as always. Thanks Lily!!! Xx

Had a lovely lunch today. I had roast and my wife had the curry. Delicious meal, excellent service and very reasonable price.

Went to tavern for a birthday fora a friend for a few drinks after a meal . Lilly is an aggressive manager , scary and lots of swearing !!!horrible experience !!

Friendly staff. Good selection of drinks. Problem was that only after we ordered the drinks that we were informed that the kitchen was closed due to their chefs not turning up. Very poor. Bad enough the kitchen was closed but not to post this anywhere or not telling us on arrival. A establishment that prides itself with its food should try harder.

I have always found the Broad Street Tavern to be welcoming and friendly. It is one of my favourite pubs in Wokingham. The Broad Street Tavern is a cosy pub with a sun trap garden. The range of drinks is also good as is the food. A common theme at my favourite pubs is a proper landlord/ landlady. They are visible, welcoming and passionate about their business and license. I find that if you treat the staff team at most pubs with respect you get respect and great hospitality back.

Nice little pub, The landlady (Lily) is insufferable, and brings the place down, very rude and aggressive, I see the is a common theme judging by the reviews, hopefully they get rid

I met a friend for Sunday lunch as I had heard that it was great value for money and it did not disappoint. It was delicious. The staff were very friendly and I will definitely go back.

Busy , nice outside space but was packed . Younger , rude customers pushing past as quite a small place when ordering drinks. DJ played what he wanted even when he cleared the dance floor totally , never understood that ?! Letchy group of older guys trying to talk . Would return but sit in the garden out of the way .

Beautiful pub with a great atmosphere. Had the most delicious Sunday roast lunch today. We had pork belly with crispy crackerling and the beef was so tender, sliced thin slightly pink! Just perfect for any foodie like me. We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly like the best home cooked roast dinner. Simon and Lili make a great team and there staff are a credit to them. The pub has a beautifully presented sunny garden and fantastic choice of home made food. Perfect place for families but also great evenings with music and fun friendly atmosphere.

Went to Wokingham to spend some time with ‘the lads’ to watch the rugby. Decided to head to the BST - love the venue, great hosts and hospitality. Splitting the G will always be a big memory of the day!!!

I came to this pub in January 2024 for pub golf with my friends. As its pub golf we were dressed up in golf jumpers and skirts with golf gloves and hats. We came into the pub all fine not making any loud noise and ordered our drinks. Most of table at the back had a sign saying reserved for 6:00pm in which it was 7:15 so we went to check with a lady at the bar if we could sit on any of the tables and she said the back ones are reserved but you can sit on these front ones in which I asked her if she was definately sure and she said let me go check and then she came back and confirmed we could so we placed our drink down. We had already received a few dirty looks from a lot of the women at this pub and one of them also made the unnecessary comment “I don’t get the tennis outfits” in which we ignored as these women were much older and clearly were a bit jealous. They then came over to us saying we can’t sit here and we said the lady at the bar said we could they then got the land lord lady who came over shouting very aggressive not in fact knowing her employee had just said we could sit there. Clearly she saw our age and thought she could treat us in that way even though we are paying customers and the other ladies were being rude to us first. Even when we were talking calmly this women was shouting at our faces despite the fact her other employees saying it was their own fault however she did not listen. I’ve read a few of the reviews on here and can see it’s not just us who’s had this problem and that the customer service here is rude and appalling which is what I’ve read and also agree. A man and a women was also standing there giving me no room to walk past so I turned my body best I could to get past this small gap, my shoulder ended up slightly touching this women in which the man next to her probably in his late 30s pushed me as my back was turned. This should be on cctv And has been reported. The landlord lady didn’t seem to care at all and still carried on to kick us out and let the man who just pushed me enjoy his time there..There is a massive problem with the morals of this pub and I didn’t even get an apology or reassurance that the situation with that man would be dealt with. The landlord lady admitted that she kicked us out cos we were the easiest to as we were doing a pub crawl however I think it was more because of our age. A man also went up to her and said those girls should be kicked out because of the length of their skirts, in my opinion I don’t know why this man is even looking at the length of our skirts and I’d say that’s more of a him problem than it is ours. I hope one day your daughters will do a fun pub golf with their friends and get the exact same treatment as we did. At the end of the day we were a group of 20 year old girls who needed to stick up for themselves as no one else was going to even when one of us had been pushed I was appalled to see no one got involved and just let that horrible man get away with it. Just because we are young doesn’t mean we don’t have our heads screwed on and know what’s right and wrong.

We arrived as a group of 8 (plus baby) with a short notice booking for Sunday lunch and had a superb time. Lily who served us couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming, including with an offer of her daughter's baby sitting services for the future! The food was lovely (most had a roast) - really tasty and massive portions. Lily was so accommodating, offering us suggestions off menu (such as mixing chicken and beef roasts). For new arrivals in Wokingham this was a real find and will definitely be repeated!

We've had a good Sunday lunch now and then at various places but this was exceptional! The food was presented in the style you see on Masterchef and the portions were very generous. We were welcomed by the owner and nothing was too much trouble. A couple of Wadsworth 6X's finished the job of beautifully. I had pork belly and my wife had roast beef. For a little extra we were offered some beef and pork to complement the pork and beef. Will be back without a doubt. We heard about the Sunday roasts here from a friend: "The best in Wokingham" she said. I am surprised at some of the negative comments I now see on TripAdvisor while writing this. Try it......

We were a large group and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were also able to reserve several tables in advance which another pub in town had refused to do.

Sunday roast is great, recommend the beef and the cauliflower cheese. Make sure you get there early as sometimes they sell out.

Came in with family for a roast, it was delicious. Service was very good. Overall good place to be. Friendly good with family and amazing food.

Came here for an evening catch up with friends over some drinks, was unable to reserve a table in advance but managed to get there early enough to pull a few tables together to accommodate the large group. Two of us went a bit earlier for food, was a little surprised to be informed that the kitchen was closing shortly so we quickly got our orders in. I enquired if it was possible to get a sandwich as the menu said it was only available during lunch hrs which the barmaid said as much but they would make me one, I did think perhaps the menus should specify what those hours actually are as well as last serving times. Prices were very high especially for wine and it seemed a little sneaky having the drinks menu with priced behind the bar of which you had to request and weren't even allowed to keep it once you had ordered, seeing that probably would have changed my decision on a large glass of pinot noir which came in at £15 a glass!

Think this was the best roast dinners we’ve eaten out before, and I lovely pint to wash it down, perfect in every way, the staff were very friendly and helpful, great atmosphere, will definitely recommend this place to everyone and worth the 5 stars I e given

Recently visited Broad Street Tavern for first time in a while. Very disappointed on this occasion. Ordered the Dirty Fries at £11 and received some cheesy fries and some jalapeños. The pulled pork was missing then when questioned this received a pot of cold pulled pork ! Questioned this again and the waitress failed to return despite promising to follow up with kitchen. It could have been so easy to resolve these issues but seems a lack of interest for customer satisfaction. Shame as this used to be a good place.

town centre pub with a good range of beers and food. food is served till late. just a couple of steps inside. most seating is inside but an outside space is up a couple of steps and has added lights.

Visited early evening with our granddaughter as they had a Childers menu that had items she liked only to be informed that children after 6.00 pm as they are primarily a bar not a restaurant which was implying it was a legal requirement. On reviewing it seems more like their own policy and they are making out it is a legal requirement. Whatever the reason why not inform customers on their website etc. before wasting their time going to the pub. On the plus side we found a much better pub to visit who do allow children. Broad Street Tavern now one to cross off the list of places to visit for a drink or meal with or without younger guests as I do not take kindly to being mislead

Where do I start….this was the first time I have had a Roast at The Broad St Tavern. I had a combo of Pork and Beef which was absolutely superb! The potatoes and vegetables were also fantastic! I’ve now booked in again this weekend for the British Grand Prix. Well worth the visit 😊👏👏👏

I have used the Tavern on many occasions over the years, as a meeting point with friends and work colleagues. It has always been a good/enjoyable experience - with friendly and efficient staff and a good atmosphere. Sometimes they also have musical events (tribute groups etc) and they are often very good. In addition to being quite a roomy pub, they have have some open-access side-room areas which are good for a group mix or family get-together, but they also have an open-air rear garden that's nice in suitable weather. I like it! My review is based on many visits over a period of time - and my feedback comments are valid for each of those occasions. I live in Wokingham Borough so I have used the Tavern many times, but my feedback comments as a "local" are likely to be experienced equally by any visitors and travellers.

We visited here midweek with a mate for a couple of beers, well about 5 actually 🤔, and some pub grub. The first pint of the Horizon beer was ok but then it seemed to be a bit off. Food arrived pretty soon after ordering...

The Broad Street Tavern in Wokingham is not a bad place to go for a drink but the food that they serve really is utterly disgusting . Three times now over a long period we have visited and eaten there and each time we made...

Nice, cared for patio garden, good bar, lovely, cheerful staff and a very cute dog. Oh and it's a Wadhams pub. Great.

Honestly the most attentive and sweetest pub you could go to. The little boy, Oli, will ever make sure that you feel welcome and its sooooo cute

Management in this place are nuts. England lose the rugby to Ireland and after the game they start playing Irish music. Lucky there wasn’t a riot!! Imagine being in an Irish pub and England win and they start playing Sweet Chariot! On a plus side...

The two bar ladies were fab on our visit and our daughter loved Cookie the bar pup!! We felt very comfortable and stayed for a second pint even though we only intended to have one.

We had a table of 12 in the Broad Street Tavern last night 10/12/21 . The food was really delicious the service was excellent we couldn’t fault it and it was very reasonable. It was a extremely busy night but our meals were all hot...

Just had our Christmas meal here - 12 of us for lunch - and it was perfect from start to finish. Despite several menu choice changes beforehand from our group everything was correct, and the food was delicious. We were greeted warmly, well looked after...

The food is reasonably priced but when you get it you can see why. All of our meals were extremely disappointing altogether. My advice would be to pass this place by if you are hungry as the food really is of very poor quality and...

What a lovely meal with friends, I had the fish finger sandwich and my husband had the chicken burger. We’re mega fussy and we agreed, both were delicious. They do fantastic expresso martini’s as well which is a rare find. We’ll be back!! Thanks for...

We visited Broad Street Tavern when only outside dining was possible. They had a brilliant set up which was very warm! The garden had a great atmosphere, which was accompanied by great beer. We look forward to coming back.

Couldn't be more disappointed by the experience we had tonight. we where greeted by a lady who was very aggressive and rude towards us. Its not how you want to be welcomed into a pub. We then ordered food, which took over an hour to...

We came here randomly and was able to have a table and food with the Governmnet incentive. The menu was limited because of Covid but the prices reflected this Staff were very busy but friendly. The tables were placed with full distancing and all measures...

Truly the best pub in Wokingham. Sophisticated yet still has a fun vibe and good for all ages. The staff are amazing and the owner Lily is quite wonderful. Really hard working and cares about every customer. Top pub, top people and I would highly...

But a fairly nondescript bar - perhaps it was just a quiet evening. But evenso, no ice in my tonic water (I was driving), cracked glass the second time and part of the beer tap at the bottom of one of the beer glasses -...

Celebrated a 40th Birthday with family traveling from different areas of U.K. to meet centrally Booked for a table of 9 including two children and our Bedlington Terrier. No problem booking, arrived and settled at our table quicklyDrinks and food ordered from the bar, great selection of ales! Need to cater for children though (fruit shoots?)Sunday lunch was unbelievably tasty, roast potatoes to die for. Catered for all our dietary requirements, vegan, veggie and meat eaters Great friendly helpful staff, nothing too much trouble Fantastic friendly place Thank you

A great pub in the middle of Wokingham. Great atmosphere with live music and spacious open outside area. Brilliant staff! The owner Lily is very friendly, always happy and up up for a laugh. Adam and Lucy a few of the bar staff are personable and funny.A lovely pub I come most weekends and always enjoy myself

Routinely go with friends to the weekly pub quiz. The staff are lovely, landlady is very fun and the drinks are good! New change of menu is also welcome, food is cheaper and there's a lot more choice. Always worth coming down to.

black tie event meant the pub had a relaxed atmosphere which was not too crowded. The band were great for NYE,freshly made canapes,door staff professional. Best new years' eve in a long time.

Recently visited the pub, was such a nice atmosphere but was overcharged - Bill was meant to be £10.90 got charged £109.00 - when I first called up to enquire was told the till balanced but they’d look into it, weren’t too sympathetic though. Kind of felt like it was me who was lying. Chased after the weekend and they confirmed it was an error and since refunded which is good. Just a bit upset they didn’t see how annoying/stressful this mistake is for a student especially at Christmas time, would’ve respected a more sincere apology. So, just a warning to check the payment at busy times but do get mistakes happen.

Actually I love this pub..have eaten in here a few times & the food is great!!! Ambience generally lovely!!! But Lilly... seriously.....🥴

Great condition ales and great staff. Fantastic landlady. Good food. Great atmosphere. Lots of great drinks

I've been here on numerous occasions. The staff, drinks, ambience and music has been great. The food is certainly not value for money. i've tried so many of their dishes over the past few years and they really need to re-vamp. The most recent one was: Antojitos - v 4.95- a spicy blend of cheese, chilli, onion and pepper tortilla biteswith pesto. For the amount you get, it's not worth it. I can get a proper burrito in London for that amount, with more flavour. This dish needs some herbs, not just chillis.I really do like this place and I'll often frequent it for the vibe and music but the food is still lacking.

Love the location and great for a beer. Don’t order food here as you’ll be waiting for forgotten food and it’s a very small portion. Can’t knock the beer and atmosphere but the catering side of things is a big let down. Shame I won’t be ordering food here again .

I was handed a bacardi and coke - the liquid almost full to the brim of the glass. All I could taste was syrup, it was unpleasant. I asked the bar person if they would replace it, as I thought the bar person must have been inexperienced to just hand the customer a drink without asking the quantity of coke required. The bar person I spoke to was not the bar person who poured it, however he refused and was rather pleased with himself that he had the power to refuse. Congratulations, I am sure you will go far in life with that attitude!!!!

We stop in to the BSV when we are in Wokingham as it has a lovely rear garden where you can talk and enjoy a drink

We walked past looking for something to eat, it was empty but mid week, that’s not always a bad sign.

I ate here for lunch, we had 2 sandwiches which were both nice. The staff were helpful checking with the chef for specific ingredients when dealing with my dietary requirements. Reasonably priced food and a nice beer garden to sit in

Located just at the end of the high street as you leave the town. Plenty of inside and nice outside seating. Good service at reasonable prices. Always busy in the evenings when we have been to this pub. Always nice for pre dinner drinks. Worth a try. Please like if this helped.

Four of us came in early for a few (a lot!) drinks before dinner and the service was fantastic. Its a great pub where the staff really look after you even if its busy .. !!

It's a great place, quick service dispite how busy it was. Land Lady was a good laugh and very friendly along with her staff. I am very thankful for the ice cold water on tap made facing the next day alot easier!

Even though we did not eat we just drank. We were there because of one of the best bands ever and that is the Grafters. It was a fantastic atmosphere and the people were so friendly. The music is amazing every time I hear the Grafters play. If you have any birthday , wedding or anniversary you have not lived unless you book them. Remember to put Grafters in the search engine on Facebook. I will be going back.

Had to retreat here to get a decent pint. We had been to the nearby Pizza Express for lunch, unfortunately they had no real beer, just dreadful Italian lager. Thank goodness that the evil lager has not infiltrated everywhere. You can be sure of a decent pint when you visit the Broad Street Tavern.

I would like to say that the Tavern pub is probably the best establishment in Wokingham where you have live bands,decent food and it's always packed with a great atmosphere

We have had good times the BST. Sunny afternoons in the pleasant garden. Times when the staff have outnumbered us and been a pleasure to spend time with.

The pub itself is lovely, the garden on dry times would be sensational. Seemed ok, we had some snacks, ok, bit cold, but quickly had the sense you come here to drink, music didn’t quite seem to go with the atmosphere, other pubs seem to have that right BUT if you just want that crowd in then this is the place for you !!

Fabulous roast beef and chicken roast. Very tasty and plenty on the plate. 2 courses for £15. Very reasonable

Been a few times with different sets of friends since very close to me. Food was OK although portion has definitely decreased since last time I was there. Fairly slow service but it was busy

My partner and I are managers of a very busy local pub restaurant with upwards of 130 covers each day and today being our day off we called in for a sandwich whilst out shopping. Was very disappointed. My sandwich was very nice and as described on the menu. My partners pulled pork and red onion sandwich contained no red onion, the manager came out to explain that there was white onion in it and not red but this was not flagged up at the time of ordering. The chips (all 25 of them to a £3 portion) finally arrived after we had finished our sandwiches and only after I had to go back into the Bar to find out where they were, after being told twice by the bar staff that they were on their way. It wasn’t even as though anyone had followed us in for food and the kitchen was overly busy. The manager apologised and offered a refund for the chips but could not explain why they arrived so late. All in all a very disappointing meal and not one which i would care to repeat, which is sad given the lovely courtyard garden setting which is not capitalised on.

We stopped here on Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. We had various burgers, chicken, veggie and wild boar and all were nice. They all came with chunky chips and sauce. Price was ok and service prompt.

We had an extremely bad experience with a very rude member of staff (which we believe may be the owner, but we could be wrong) Would not recommend for mothers with children.

A nice pub with a good range of Wadsworth ales. I was sad to Mahou go earlier in the year, BUT the recent addition Staropramen more than makes up for that, and just in time for summer in the beer garden ... hopefully.

A nice pub with a good range of Wadsworth ales. Unfortunately Mahou and Guinness are no longer available. The staff team are friendly and efficient. The prices are good for Wokingham.

Great night. The band were excellent. Lilly accommodated the four of us and found us a table so we could see the band. Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Great Pub!

I used to think this place was okay, but have realised its not as great as people make it out to be.

What an amazing pub! The staff are so positive and fun. The landlady is a perfect hostess. Food is great. Always a great night here!

If you want a drink it's the best place in Wokingham to have a greet night. Girls are sexy and the bar owner is amazing. They do the best baby Guinness 🙂

Best place I have had the opportunity to drink in. Quality pub always get served and have a great time. Me and the lads love it

It has amazing service and great music especially with a band. The service was quick and helpful. Landlady was very personable

I visited the Broad Street Tavern with 21 other people for a Christmas meal. It was difficult to talk at...

I have no problem with licensing laws and the need to encourage people to leave on time, but I do...

As title. Attractively renovated pub on Wokinghams pretty Broad Street. Large garden fun in summer: Wadworths ales, I hav'nt eaten...

Great beer, decent wine. Lovely bar staff. Good food, dog and child friendly. Beer garden, for those few days the sun shines. And they also do a gluten free beer for those that need it. I tried it and it was surprisingly tasty. All in all a great pub in a town full of decent pubs.

My friends and I visit broadstreet at least once a week for the brilliant pub quiz and have done so for the last year. The manager, Lily, is incredibly welcoming and friendly and this extends to the rest of the staff as well. The atmosphere is really friendly and bringing your dog is actively encouraged! The food is decent and reasonably priced and my partner and I have enjoyed meals there as a couple and in large groups - I couldn’t recommend this wonderful pub more!

Having visited a few times previously and the broad street tavern being ok I visited this evening and unfortunately fear that things have gone seriously downhill. Poor service, poor cleanliness and poor food. What a shame and I hope that the broad street tavern realises its decline and starts to improve again.

Had a couple of lunches here when we have been in Wokingham during the week. Good choice of dishes, nicely presented and a quiet place to sit and relax with a pint or G&T.

Booked a table here on a busy Saturday night to take my parents. I had previously checked out that they have gluten free options and noted from their website that they are Coeliac UK accredited. Their choice of gluten free options was superb. The food was delicious and priced well. They even had a decent gluten free beer on sale. It should also be noted that we went with our Border Collie dog. The staff were very attentive and bought her water and treats. A first class gluten free and dog friendly pub. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Popped into the Tavern for a pre dinner drink. Excellent choice of beers, wines etc My partner had an excellent Shiraz and I tried the cider on tap, both were excellent.

Popped in to the Tavern for a couple of drinks before we went for a meal. Very friendly staff but being a Hot, Saturday evening seating was restricted. Very popular and will definitely go back.

Coeliac UK accredited gluten free menu. Also sells Wadworth 6X gold (gf)Menu is great for anyone with coeliac disease or following a gluten free diet. Staff were very friendly as wellReasonably pricedLooking forward to our return.

We dined here on a Wednesday night, good crowd with a nice atmosphere, I couldn't decide which beer so they gave me a sample. Lilly the manager went well beyond what I expected in helping us choose food to suit our tastes. The sticky toffee pud was superb. Our only regret was missing quiz night which was the night before. Not a small pub nor large but very highly recommended. We walked in from Cantley House Hotel, about a 15 minute level walk. Great for walking off the pud.

The Tavern is a great Pub with great staff. Most pubs get their atmosphere from the landlord / landlady and the Broad Street Tavern is no exception. Lilly and her staff create a welcoming atmosphere and I would recommend this pub to anyone.

Great pub in the heart of town. Simple food but cooked really well. Very tasty. Sat outside in the garden. Its a real sun trap.

I really liked this pub. It is great atmosphere there, especially on Fridays, when there is life music. Bands which are playing there are awesome. The stuff is nice and allways in a good mood. I recommend this!

Visited last night - was super busy for a Wednesday.... the bar staff were great - rushing around and getting everyone served quickly. Ordered three of the tapas - the prawns were phenomenal. Definitely will be eating again and trying some other things on the menu! Thanks for a great evening!

Good selection of ales and food was excellent. Good atmosphere amongst staff and banter was good throughout.

Went here a few times for lunch or a quick daytime drink. The staff are very friendly and chatty and the food is decent and reasonably priced. The nacho starter with chilli is great.They have baby changing facilities and a couple of areas big enough to house a few prams.

Visited here from a change of scenery decided to have a roast lamb dinner the service was great but not the food it came out cold the portions were not sufficient the lamb was cut into pieces rather than sliced not very appetising at all apart from that a very nice pub with decent people and a fantastic atmosphere

We celebrated New Years Eve here last night. Free entry which is fab compared to many pubs in Wokingham. The bar staff who are always friendly were v efficient and despite the pub being packed, we were always served within minutes. Lovely atmosphere with the live band and a real mix of people. Most importantly, when one of our group had a few drinks too many and was unwell, the staff went out of their way to support and help. One barmaid spent about half an hour helping our friend in the loos and despite having cleared the rest of the pub, they let us stay longer until she could stand.One member of staff (Lily) went out of her way to help, keeping our friend awake, talking her/us through what to do and calling us an ambulance. Thank you to all staff who helped because you must have been keen to get home and away from all of the drunk Wokingham population but you stayed and helped us lots! We'll definitely be back (but some of our group may stick to the soft drinks!!)

This pub continues to improve. Staff seem more friendly and efficient and the environment is more welcoming.

Had our work Christmas lunch here last week and wouldn't recommend! The meals were all paid in advance and we had all pre-ordered. So they should have been well prepared. Despite this the service was very haphazard. Several people were left waiting for ages for their Mains which didn't come out until at least 20 minutes after the others, which meant they were left eating on their own as most of the group had finished. Some people also long waits for their desserts to arrive.When I asked the staff about the reason for the delays, I was told they just serve the food and don't get involved with what happens in the kitchen. So no responsibility taken at all, although they did offer a drink to those who had been kept waiting, plus free teas and coffees for the group at the end which was appreciated. The food was mostly ok but it was a case of quantity rather than quality. Christmas Pudding was very strange as it was pieces of pudding served in a sundae glass and covered with ice cream! Overall not really good enough.

I've never experienced such rude staff. 4 people deep at the bar, waited for a long time, was then rudely snapped at to show my ID - I'm 28 but don't mind as I do sometimes still get ID'd - but was driving so I said I'm just going to get a lemonade - the bar lady then shouted me that if I didn't show her ID then I had to leave as I couldn't be at the bar. So I did, she then stamped the back of my hand with a big ugly stamp (this is a pub not a nightclub...) Then later on the same thing happened to my friend (same age) except she didn't have her ID so was asked to leave, one member of staff actually told her to "get out". I'm not objecting to people being ID'd but just the level of agression and rudeness was quite appalling. The staff were literally falling over behind the bar because it was such a mess on the floor with crates and bottles littered everywhere. I am actively telling people not to visit here. Also not pleasant for my friends who were drinking to have to drink wine out of dirty half pint glasses as they didn't have wine glasses left.

Visited here on a Thursday lunchtime. Arrived at 1205 but already some customers in. Place did a steady trade throughout our stay.Whole range of Wadworths beers available. Sampled four of them between us and jolly fine they all were.Food was good. I had Chicken Fajitas which, although not sizzling, were hot. My colleagues had chicken and bacon pie which they said was good too. Main courses were all around the £10 mark, about what I would expect to pay.Staff very friendly and provided good service.The BST is not a plush pub but certainly for a lunchtime it's fine. Would be happy to visit again.

Whilst it has quite a small entrance, it opens at when you get the back. Really good pub, great selection of beers. They even had a live band last night

The pub looks good and if you want to go for a drink is fine but if you want to eat avoid! Food came out ad hoc and we even waited between the first main and the last for nearly an hour. Starters came with mains and food burnt. When we queried the staff were rude to say the least and we heard every excuse from not pre ordering (had pre booked and weren't offered this option) to this is tapas (garlic bread and nachos) to we are too busy and you didn't order it (for which we had written proof of the order).I am sorry to say I won't be visiting again not that I think the staff would be bothered anyway. It is a shame as the band was really good and the pub looked great.
