Very poor venue to watch sport. My last two visits to the pub have been to watch international rugby games. Although the pub is willing to put the England game on TV, they frequently have the volume so low it is impossible to hear the commentary. Bar staff frequently switch TV channels in the middle of a game or at half time when you want to hear the pundit analysis. On my last visit a very grumpy chef came out in his whites and simply changed channel without even checking with the clientele to determine who was there to watch the match. Naturally this was cause for much abuse which I assume the bar staff would prefer to avoid.

Added to this the pub is often quite yobby. All in all there are better pubs in the area, with nicer atmospheres and with more friendly bar staff.
