Sunday afternoons can be a bit dull, but not at this venue. Live music from around 5pm - 7.30pm. What a great find and what a great atmosphere. They've teamed up with another pub nearby who also put on live music from 3pm, so if you like live music and a pick me up on a Sunday afternoon, look no further than St Thomas.

Went to listen to a live band. 5 stars for Stillyano. Great music, but.... Busy, as expected being a bank holiday weekend and no doubt the reason for putting a live band on, on a Sunday. If WE were expecting it to be busy, hence the reason we arrived a good 2 hours before to ensure a table etc.... why can the management not foresee this and ensure the simplest details like having ice to go in the drinks are met? Warm vodka with red bull is not enjoyable. Shame the co-op next door was closed, as we would have gone and bought a bag! PS. Group of 8

I felt bitterly disappointed that I didn't get called up to the mic after putting my name down for 🎤 like an hour in advance I.e 11.30 before the 🎤 sesh finished half an hour later than I originally thought. The woman had plenty of time to call my name out, but my efforts amounted to nothing.

If you are LGBTQ+ do not go to this pub. My partner went in for a drink and as soon as she arrived was verbally abused my a group of men at the bar saying "What is that?" They continued to repeat words to that extent. When my partner walked up to the bar, the bar staff member, clearly within earshot of the group, didn't look up from the bar as they went to order despite my parner attempting to make eye contact with them. They made no attempt to make my partner feel welcome, offered no support or spoke up in regards to the situation. My partner then left feeling unsafe in the scenario. Safe to say, we won't be returning and will encourage others to stay away.

The pub itself sits on a square of shops, all of which are closed on a Sunday afternoon. First impressions: it's an 'estate pub', intended to satisfy the drinking needs of locals, rather than as a destination venue for tourists. The interior was wide and spacious, yet the low ceiling of exposed support ribs gave it an enclosed and slightly claustrophobic feel. The regular clientele were as you'd expect, men with shaved heads and tattooed arms ordering lagers, though the presence of a classic rock tribute band (Sea Dogz) had brought in a number of outsiders: middle class friends of the band, aging rockers from the circuit, yours truly sitting in both camps. The band were excellent, and their music went down with the crowd so well they've been asked to come back and do a Saturday night.
