New Bridge

Back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, this used to be a proper pub; always full of local regulars, especially at weekends. Now I have no idea who it’s supposed to cater for — probably the ‘suits’ and students.
I was in there last Saturday afternoon and the place was empty at midday; it used to be HEAVING! I was informed that ‘we don’t do food on a Saturday’. The half of Stella I had tasted of line-​cleaner and was as flat as a witch’s you-​know-​what.
Yet another example of taking a perfectly good, viable pub, tarting it up, alienating the locals and ending up with an empty pub on a Saturday afternoon. Serves ‘em right. Unrecommended.
By the way. the pub next door (used to be Joe Wilsons, another thriving local) was also totally empty and THEY ‘don’t do food on Saturday’ either. I rest my case.
