Wow! Barman kicked us out because we had a very well behaved Jack Russell. He didn’t notice for 40 minutes. We were the only people in there and no wonder. Tv on, no atmosphere, like being in the 70s. He told us off for having the dog, who was lying silently at my feet, and asked us to drink up and leave. I asked what harm he was doing. He said, the health people don’t allow it. When I asked which health people, he said: “you’re the bloody landlord now?” Who are these health people? Anyone?

A locals pub. Only one cask ale on, out of three available pumps. Well kept though, no complaints.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon, only two or three other customers, very quiet. This bar is olde worldy, what proper bars used to be like before pubco's spoiled them. Impressive selection of drinks. My Draught Guinness was superb, clean, chilled and my wifes Fosters lager also great. Great drinks with efficient service and value for money prices. Would recommend but beware, this is deffo NOT a poncy pub.

The most obnoxious landlord I think I’ve ever met (I’ve met a FEW!!) - the pub is nice in an old fashioned way but was quiet on a Saturday night we (five of us) turned up at 2200ish venturing out from the Crown and Mitre Hotel just up the road - had a pint nice and bonny then a switch was flicked in the manager ordered another at 1055 (no bell - was told it was last orders) I ordered mine and another of our group did but the other three weren’t allowed a pint even though we were all at the bar at the same time - turned the fruit machine off whilst I was playing it and was then abusive when I asked for it to be turned back on - didn’t get any money back! Bar staff were gracious and friendly though - apologised (under breath) Obviously a manager rather than a landlord and didn’t give a flying fig. Avoid at all costs. Do yourselves a favour and Don’t turn left out of the Crown and Mitre turn right and Try the Deja Vu on Botchergate(10minute walk down the precinct) - fantastic atmosphere in there! No wonder it’s so dead - doubt many locals would tolerate him!

Edited Review!! I guess that the Manager was Just having a Bad Day, last time I was there.... I took the bull by the horns and went back a 2nd time, ~I have added Stars and edited my first review of the Boardroom, a much better atmosphere than last time!! This must be a great pub for a few drinks, especially when the landlord is in a better mood!!

Popped in here for some lunch having seen the menu outside. Pricing is very reasonable. I'd recommend this place based on that alone. The staff were welcoming and friendly and were great with my little one. The food was absolutely perfect, couldn't fault it! The only bad point was that there was no high chairs for younger children which made things interesting 😅! Food is also only served between a select time (which would be helpful if I could remember those hours 😬😂) something like 12- 1.45 but helpfully it could be an hour before 😬😂. Definitley recommend for a drink and lunch!

The Boardroom is a roomy and very smart pub situated next to the Cathedral. Looking at how sparklingly clean everything was, I certainly wasn’t surprised at the perfect condition of the beers we had, and the Wainwright’s was absolutely perfect. Nice service and perfect beer - what more could you possibly want? Lovely pub.

Only one real ale available on my visit. Seems to be the ONLY pub left with any covid restrictions, lines taped on the floors, signs saying "masks to be worn" , screens around the bar, and a rude bar person shouting at us where to stand . Overall a very unwelcoming experience with the only plus being that the beer was pretty good. It will be some time before we visit again.
