Good selection of real ales in a cosy wood panelled and upholstered environment, which belies its micropub status: feels like it has been an old fashioned pub for decades!

My wife and I just love coming to this pub and in our opinion this is the best bar in the town There is always a tremendous selection of beers on tap and there is a variety of gins and wines is also available The market is definitely for the middle-aged silver and grey pound but it is a lovely spot with a very lively atmosphere and there’s always somebody to meet every time you go I’m really looking forward to my next visit

Darkish, cramped, a bit dingy, full of older people (40-70) but if you don't mind that, well, okay. The beer is good, the staff are good but some are a bit proud- like they are doing you a favour by serving you. It comes from the top I guess. Since the last owner retired, the new landlord might try and be a bit more welcoming to customers? 'Good evening sir! Welcome to 22, I'll be with you in a minute.' Just saying. Service fellahs. Service. Otherwise, good luck.

We have visited this establishment for many years, it has always been one of our favourite venues in the town. We visited the pub on Friday, where as in the past we were met with a friendly greeting, we found that this wasn't the case. The Bar Team didn't meet or greet and were a wee bit surly??? I mistakenly left a parcel on leaving. I rang once I returned home to enquire had it been found. Sadly I didn't feel the person I spoke to, did indeed check and they advised me it wasn't there nor had it been handed in. I am so saddened by their response, uncaring and I feel this lets the reputation of this establishment down.

I have to mark this once great pub low for the simple fact that they no longer accept cash which is truly ridiculous. two stars for the White Boar Bitter. Luckily, Darlo has lots of great alternative near by venues that will accept The Kings Pound from many many people who will never accept digital tyranny and discrimination.

It hasn't changed. Still the same vibrant place with fabulous beer. It's only open until 10 pm. Though I guess that's more a sign of the times than an enforced curfew.

Came in, guy behind the bar was great. I didn't know what I fancied, yet staff member talked me through his recommendations. Second round - I asked for a duplicate larger. Different staff member didn't know what larger were on . Then at payment did not acknowledge payment had gone through. So when I continued to stand and wait , he then went to try and serve me again . Customers need to know payment has gone through, rather than have back turned on them

Lovely pub. Good food when it’s available. Brilliant and friendly bar staff, but one of the rudest owners i have ever met. No interpersonal skills at all. I’ve spent many times in this establishment and all have been pleasant when he’s not there. If someone needs to be asked not to do something there’s a way to do it that he just does not know how to do. Rude rude rude and an unpleasant man. A lovely day out for lunch with my man spoiled by an unpleasant man.
