Found myself with an hour to kill so stopped in for lunch. Really friendly staff and my food was delicious. Icing on the cake was the lovely coffee afterwards and the most delicious homemade traybakes! A hidden gem!

The food was poor and the choice of mains was limited, with only one vegetarian option being the mandatory vegetarianā€™s nemesis ā€˜Risottoā€™ not so much a cliche, more of a lazy joke. I was charged Ā£5.00 for a CAN of Guinness 00 ! There are pubs in the area serving Guinness 00 on draft for Ā£5.00 so the Poet is simply overcharging in my opinion and the opinion of EVERYONE Iā€™ve spoken to since. For my main I had their scampi, which was OK, but ā€˜Chunky Chipsā€™ should not be served in those little miniature deep fat fryer baskets. Everyone on our table laughed at this, especially when I counted out the Six chips I received. My wife had the chicken pieces, which claims to be served with salad but I could have scooped more salad from a salad bowl using a safety pin whilst blindfolded. It was simply beyond a joke. So overpriced alcohol free CANS of Guinness and poor food. Surroundingsā€¦. The Poet inside is still quite attractive. It was quite well designed as The Lonely Poet back in the day and the design has stood the test of time. So I will say that inside, it is still an attractive bar and itā€™s way better than it looks from outside, as itā€™s stuck on the edge of Kingā€™s Square beside a disused Bank and a Co-op. We all know that you judge a bar by the cleanliness of its toilets and I can say that the toilets in the Poet are amongst the filthiest, most disgusting toilets Iā€™ve ever had the misfortune to visit. The gents had one broken urinal, two broken hand dryers and floors which didnā€™t look like theyā€™d been mopped for a week. The stupid plastic (assuming white) pull bar on the inside of the cubicle had black grime caked along its entire lengthā€¦the lighting was so bad I almost touched it, but luckily I noticed the filth before doing so. My wife and family members said the Ladies toilets were of a similar shocking state. We are not hygiene freaks, I expect a pubā€™s toilets to be a bit rough and I almost expect one of the dryers to be broken, after all, thatā€™s why Leviā€™s are so absorbent, but this was months of accumulated grime. The staff seemed friendly enough and I know they must struggle to stay motivated in a bar which apart from our party, was virtually empty by 9.30 on a Saturday Night! We got the feeling the place was being allowed to slowly die. Neither the menu nor the standard of the food is going to attract customers to return and word is spreading, so new repeat customers are an unlikely prospect. I wouldnā€™t recommend The Poet to anyone. We will not return and I would rather drive a bit further to a decent bar rather than waste money on an establishment stuck in the past and living on the reputation of the Lonely Poet.

Easily the worst Chinese I have ever had in my 35 years of living on this planet. Everything was horrible. Mushrooms in chow mein, cucumbers in honey chilli chicken. I could honestly write a book on everything that is wrong with this place. Thats it. Thats the review.
