Reviews of The Dog
D. W.
My friends & I enjoy going here after work the fixed price meals are great value for money. There's always a good selection & the meals are always served hot. The staff are polite & friendly, & make sure everything is ok. We'll definitely keep going.
S.
Customer service was amazing! The lady on the phone was very helpful, ensured we got the right table.
The waiting and bar staff were very attentive and were lovely. Especially the lady at the bar with the dark hair. We noticed one customer had an issue with their meal and they sorted it right away.
Food was tasty and drinks were brilliant value, with £5 cocktails and £10 wine you can't moan!!
P. B.
Friendly, pleasant staff and did a great job considering they got busy for a Tuesday lunch!
Food came out promptly and was good quality especially for the price!
I give special mention to the poor chef on his own knocking out all those plates of food, well done!
L. S.
Super friendly staff, well-kept beers, and a charming beer garden. Other customers seemed to be enjoying their food - will definitely come back to try myself. I heartily recommend to others for a warm, friendly place to drink with friends
J. D.
Had a great night the other day! They had the DJ in, we came a little earlier and had something to eat. Great dinner, the staff were really friendly and it was great fun when the DJ started. Absolutely fantastic night, will definitely be coming down next time.
B. C.
I went to visit The Dog with my friends the other day. The food was spectacular, the company was brilliant and the fire was on which just made it all feel so much better! As you can see from the pasta dish, I highly recommend, and add the chicken on, it really pushes it that little bit further 🥰 pub looks clean and the team were friendly.
K. P.
I visit this pub every time I'm in the area, and always have good service. The food is standard pub grub. It can be a little hit and miss at times, but never terrible. The pub always has a nice atmosphere too. I will be returning.
s. s.
Spacious pub with lively atmosphere! Went there with work colleagues. Knocked one star off as they had no selection of mocktails (as I was meant to be behind the wheel). Haven't tried their food so can't comment - menu was nice. Maybe will try next time. Overall, great pub
P. M.
Impromptu stop off on a rainy but Autumnal evening.
Lovely comforting atmosphere with the real log fire burning🔥😍
Great food + quick service from lovely staff.
M. B.
12 of us went for lunch today. The food was delicious. Excellent service. Staff were friendly and looked after us so well. Well done everyone!
J. M.
It can get very busy here so it must be good for the crowd it accompanies. I ordered 2 double drinks from here though and it did cost £12 which I thought was a bit steep and got charged 1.70 for a double up rather than the 165 advertised, but it's only 5p. We did ask about the cocktails but the people behind the bar were unable to tell us what they did and instead referred us to find a menu from one of the tables. Probably won't be going in here again but the DJ that was on at the time of visiting was OK if a bit loud for the size of the building.
A. P.
Came for pre drinks before town. Cheap drinks, really friendly staff, I know people always say that but they actually were ! Its a great way station before heading out for the night. Highly recommend
D. L.
lovely little pub, feels like you're in the country but you're on the hagley road! Staff are friendly, drinks and food reasonably priced. Highly recommend :-)
B. M. F. L.
Limited gluten free menu after you accept terms & conditions. Vanilla pod ice cream marvellous. Good rumoured staff.
A. S.
Such a lovely place, all the staff were amazing! The food was delicious. Would definitely come again!
V. B.
Staff were lovely and food was faultless will be making regular visits for sure highly recommend if you’re looking for a enjoyable meal
S. M.
Great friendly service, food was good although whatever they use for mash potato tastes nothing like potato - not quite sure how such a simple thing could be done so wrong
A. L.
The customer service was amazing and the food was lovely and given out promptly. Really enjoyed and would definitely go again
A. W.
Staff are always friendly and pay close attention to our needs when we go. Sam W especially took extra time out to make our visit worthwhile!
c. a.
Lovely food. Quick service and the management team are super organised. Will be visiting again very soon!
J. B.
Very nice and chilled pub! Lovely staff here and they’re all very friendly! The vegetarian/vegan menu is reasonable with a nice variety! The “Cajun Style Vegan Chicken Bites” are nice and come with a nice side sauce! Prices are also reasonable!
A. H.
Sam and the team were great the food is absolutely divine and I will be coming back and making it a regular place to visit
R. H.
Bar service and food came out quickly and staff were great but we were a bit disappointed with the blandness of meals especially the pulled beef chilli
G. M.
Lovely venue food and staff couldn't ask for more and dog friendly with gluten-free options
R. I.
The food and service was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, Suman was friendly and very attentive. Overall a great evening.

C. B.
Lovely staff, food was also wonderful! Definitely recommend.
M.
The staff are friendly and it is a lovely pub, especially with the log fire on the go. The only negative was the food . I had a veggie burger which was just a pattie with a few chips on the side £10.50 which is quite expensive for what it was .
J. R.
The staff were very friendly, the service very quick and efficient and the food was superb.
A. W.
Went to the Dog today with my wife, sister in law and her husband, asked for a table away from other people, due to covid worries, they gave us a lovely table as asked right by the fire, couldn't be happier. Meals were good, plenty on the plates, good price. Only downside was planters out the back had 4 bags of dog pooh in there, why would anyone think that is acceptable! Shame on whichever patrons put those there
D. I.
We were expecting your bog standard sizzler/hungry horse type of of cheap deep fried and we were wrong-food was lovely for what we paid,servicewasexcellent in cosy surroundings,shift supervisor martin looked after us and the chef was excellent,thank you to all at the dog for making a lovely afternoon for us,regards lesa and dorrien

S. H.
Amazing food, quick service, plus our dog is allowed in the bar ♡

B.
Great food, great service, decent price. Would come again.
A. M.
Standard pub fare. Lovely staff. Good they had Doom Bar on tap
Y. 6.
Reasonably priced, can sit outside and there's a DJ on a Friday night.
L. G.
Have eaten here many times. Always had a warm welcome and great food. Keep up the good work and keep us happy.
L. D.
It was absolutely great, good, fast service and delightful food to accompany it
L. M.
As a vegan it's always a mission to get good food. I went there today and the vegan choice was limited. However, they did have one vegan choice of starter, main and pudding. The quality of food was really great. The picture provided does not look great but the taste was amazing!! The topping was potato rosti. The bar staff had no knowledge of vegan food and had endless trips to the chef to ask if roast potatoes, parsnips where cooked without mean juices. I have to admit he was eager to find out without any huffing or puffing. I will return. An enjoyable experience. Staff exceptionally tolerant!
A. D.
Lovely pub on Hagley road. Part of the Ember Inn group. Popped in for a glass of red whilst waiting for the traffic to die down. Relaxed atmosphere with real log fires giving it a homely, rustic feel. Great range of ales, beers and wines! Reasonably priced.
J. L.
Lovely pub but it was the first time I'd ever eaten there. Points deducted for that!
L. M.
Nice atmosphere, the food however was not the best the burger was extremely dry.
s. v.
So good service, waiters spot on details, helpful and friendly. All you can spect from a pub. Good value on the menu. Thanks for made our family dinner a nice experience.
T. N.
Great ember inn pub with a good choice of food which is also good quality. Very reasonably fixed priced menu too, 3 of us are 3 courses for £14 each. Good choice of real ales and cider. Small beer garden outside which is in the sun during the day, shady of an evening. Big car park and situated on the Hagley road next to the park.
K.
Lovely staff, lovely pub, great service and great food
D. P.
Never visited here before tonight, and what a treat. Friendly and welcoming, excellent food and Jake our waiter could not have been more helpful. Nothing too much trouble, helped us with the app, and even organised us seats after our meal to watch the football. This is above and beyond the service we've all come to expect, especially in and during lock down when we've experienced such rudeness by some shops/restaurants. Well done to all the team, but special thanks to Jake who really made our evening 🙂
P. C.
Nice food. Friendly service. Best to book at table at the weekend though as it gets busy.
P. S. G.
This place is alright but it literally has not changed in like 15 years I think it needs an upgrade ngl just feels old and boring
J. Q.
Cosy pub and food is nice
Older waitress always looks miserable which is off putting
M. M.
Really nice pub, food is tasty albeit very usual pub food. Beer garden is awesome, dog friendly which is nice plus it's situated in Lightwoods Park which is a great location for the old sunny day and pint combo.
D. H.
I had a great experience here, one of the workers was especially helpful.
K. S.
Came for lunch with relatives and had a lovely meal. The waitress, Rabia who looked after us, was delightful and couldn’t do enough for us. The staff at The Dog are always so friendly and the pub itself is comfy and cosy.
D. F.
Just dropped in, not been before, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere, Great food...
g. c.
could do with an internal update, chairs stained and worn, didnt smell too pleasant either
M. D.
A spur of the moment visit to the dog while out walking with friends and our 3 pooches today, a very wet day. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the cheesy chips, nachos and hot chocolates were hot and tasty and the dogs enjoyed their sausages. Nothing was too much trouble and they split the bill so we could pay individually by card. We will definately be back soon and thoroughly recommend.
S. M.
Great pub, great food, great team 👍🏻
M. T.
Great little pub excellent food and great service
M. D.
Best meal we had in ages will visit again
H. M.
Great atmosphere and good home cooked food
J. C.
Nice staff and atmosphere here but quite small portions with the mains and over priced red wine. I would go for the specials in future
M. H.
Was made to feel very welcome and staff were really helpful
R. H.
Pleasant lunch-time meal here, food very good. Good service from staff, although it was very quiet when we there.
A. W.
We go here once maybe twice a month.
I take my wife to the Octopus for a preemie meet up.
Guys this group needs members so search it on facebook.
L. C.
My favourite place to come for food and drink!
R. G.
Lovely place, just popped in for a pint but enjoyed the atmosphere. Food looks good, nice range of wines and cask ales. Pleasant music, not overpowering and with TVs but with no sound but subtitles. Staff are very friendly too. 4 stars because of brevity of this visit but that could change after future visits. Would recommend
C. (.
Great food great prices good choice too. This was a friendly place to eat for families friends or that intimate little get together .
g. m.
Nice . But slow service . Staff need training
F. A.
Loved this pub when we visited in early 2020.. food was lovely and has a nice country pub feel. Plenty of parking available at the back and space to sit out the front.
J. S.
Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Pub needs some decor updating.
g.
Good atmosphere. Fairly busy. I'm knocking a few stars off because I think my car was scraped by another vehicle in the car park. I reported it to one of the staff members (name starts with M) who said he would view the CCTV footage and get back to me. I was expecting a call yesterday but nothing as yet. I was expecting a more professional approach. Other than that the beer is cold and crisp.
C. S.
Nice selection of real ales and friendly helpful staff no tv great and loads of nooks and crannies a nice quite drink if you require
R. G.
Nice pub good food and a good price
D.
Really nice staff, really accommodating of requests. Clean environment, calm atmosphere. Food was ok but not great, a bit bland.
B. C.
The food and drink here is great, the atmosphere is brilliant and there's plenty of space both inside and out.
My main issue is with the staff - now don't get me wrong, the staff are all wonderfully helpful and happy people (mostly) but there never seems to be enough of them behind the bar. Even just a second person would dramatically cut the waiting times for a pint, yet they decide to only have one tender for a bar that big most of the time.
Definitely a place I would come to more if I knew I could be served!
M. M.
Nice food and good service. Ladies toilets freezing but clean
J. C.
Booked a table for food and drink tonight via website. Well sorted out for Social Distancing. Greeted at the door by friendly fella. Shown us to our table which had just been cleaned. Table was booked for a 2 hour slot. Ordered at the bar as had no network on our phones to order via the app. Shame there was no haddock available but 2nd choice of scampi was lovely as was my friends burger. Good nite would definitely return 👍👍
P. N.
The food was superb. But it was the staff that made it. We had four dogs between us. No trouble at all. Put us near the door so they were cooler. Brought them water twice. Very friendly and helpful.
K. H.
Lovely pub. Nice staff.
M. J.
Fast and happy service
Nice environment and food
P. G.
Quiet eatery, food and service was good. However slightly concerned that there was mold growing behind the glass on one of the photos. Also slightly more expensive than other comparable local eateries. Would recommend for a quiet afternoon meal.
m. s.
The staff at the dog are really friendly and will help you in any way that they can. The food, although a bit pricey, is of a high standard. The quality is amazing! The overall atmosphere at the dog is chilled and relaxing. It is such a good place to take your family for a meal.
C. B.
Have not long left and I have had a fantastic night great food friendly staff even did me a reduced meal because of an eating problem I would certainly go again..soon
W. F.
Excellent meal, 3 courses, all very tasty and well presented. Staff welcoming and the pub was cosy and homely had a lovely vibe. The menu has a great range of food, loved their fixed price menu , a family can have 3 courses and drinks and it so not dent the bank, really well priced. Would recommend and revisit again.
C. L.
Visited The Dog for some early evening drinks on a weekday when it wasn’t quite so busy. Warm welcome by barman who gave excellent customer service in a very natural manner. Unfortunately there were several ales unavailable on our visit hence only 4 out of 5 stars. Pub was very clean and tidy with a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.
L. K.
Nice food and wonderful service! Very friendly staff- got a great time there.
K. S.
Nice pub, good menu, delicious food
J. E.
The meal is really nice However the pub is cold, always cold, always!!!, and if you comment they always have a problem with the heating. The owners need to really sort this out as it is not welcoming or comfortable to eat when you are cold 👎
The staff are fab, the food is fresh, hot ,and well priced
SO SORT THE HEATING OUT SERIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT A ONE OFF . Then you have a winning pub
l. c.
Lovely staff great experience overall
L. N.
Good beer and on them cold and wet days or nights there's a coal fire 🔥 to keep you warm friendly staff
c. h.
Staff are friendly and accommodating, food is honest pub grub, there was a great atmosphere and the rock and roll bingo is hilarious. For a bank holiday Monday and a busy pub it really wasn’t bad. Staff were clearly tired but in good humour, toilets could have done with a bit of a tidy up and where was the mayonnaise?
L. F.
Very friendly and efficient staff, had a lovely gin and my daughter loved her food, so can't go wrong,
A. C.
Friendly bar staff, waitress was not attentive but it didn't ruin our evening. Food and drinks reasonable priced, really good drinks offers. Food was tasty.
S. J.
8 of us for Sunday lunch, we had a few service issues but these were quickly sorted to my satisfaction. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.
Will definitely go again.
V. C.
The service and food was excellent I would recommend
J. W.
Well what a lovely pub! great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, food was without a fault and so scrummy...menu was well balanced and catered for everyone. I had the sea bass which was superb,family had beef,pork belly and the gammon, everyone commented on the standard of the food plus presentation....love the decor.....we will be back!
V.
Great pub, friendly staff, good beer and spacious outdoor seating area. What more do you need?
S. M. O.
Lovely cosy atmosphere and sunny outside seating. Really appreciate that it's dog friendly! Wide variety of food and drinks on offer but was slightly disappointed by my very oily pad thai. Will definitely visit again though, to try other pub classics! Staff were very friendly and helpful, overall lovely.
S. K.
Went for food after work. Staff are lovely. Always welcoming and attentive. Food great too.
H. M.
Very good pea and mint soup but bread let it down, not good quality at all and needed butter. Excellent steak and ale pie , very flavourful, nice pastry, nice mash and veg, good gravy. Deep fried brie was excellent. Butternut squash risotto not very good, very watery. Replaced with a quiche which was excellent. Service was good and friendly. All in all happy with the food and service, would recommend.
J. J.
First time here food was great nice and hot ( except my custard had to send it back as it was cold ) staff friendly and helpful. Social distanceing was observed .The place was lovely and clean.will be going back again
j. b.
lovely service had a great time

Had had a lousy day at work, rained on the way home and knew my other half was away for a few days so dinner for one. Decided to drop into the Dog and as always the warm atmosphere and friendly staff took the edge off a miserable day. Stopped for a steak and it was perfection, washed town with a fresh well kept beer and all with efficient friendly staff. After eating, just sat in one of the relaxing nooks in a comfy chair reading. (OK with a 3rd beer!) replete and refreshed. Can't recommend highly enough.
J. S.
Lovely beef pie! And they take dogs so go into our top ten venues!
C. S.
Great beers and wines prices not bad food fantastic atmosphere lively friendly with the odd quiet spaces if required too. Food is brilliant served by friendly staff all eager to please.cant wait for our next outing always a pleasure five stars well deserved .
R. S.
Amazing staff good quality food and beer
E. H.
We go here regularly. The pub has a good atmosphere. It doesn't get too crowded and you can have a conversation without having to compete with loud music or football on TV.
R. S.
We were looking for a place to have lunch with friend and decided to try the Dog as it was en route. The lady serving was great and friendly. The food was delicious and arrived without too much wait. We will definitely eat here again.
R. N.
Typical British pub in a neighborhood setting with draft beer and food. Good environment and walkable to the bus service. Local eatery which caters to mainly an older crowd.
M. D.
Classic English pub experience. Decent food, pick your time as it's obviously busy at peak times. Friendly staff, clean with decent atmosphere, average price point. Recommended for a casual family or friendly catch up.
E. P.
A good pub when not too busy. Decently priced and has pub classics to your taste. Came before on a busy day and was not impressed but giving a second chance was a good choice. Had a lovely meal this time.
A. B.
I went there last night for a bite to eat with a couple of friends from work, The food was excellent and my steak was cooked to perfection. I had the mixed grill, which I'll definitely be going back for! My one friend had the ultimate burger, which was huge (again- I'll be trying that!) and the other had a lasagne which looked delicious. They have a good range of drinks and have some speciality ales too. As for price - very fare and I've paid far more in the past, for much less. Overall, I'll definitely be going back!
M. J.
Love this place so much. Alison and the team never fail to impress even when they're obviously so busy. Food was even better than usual! Will be back as soon as Chaka Khan allows. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year guys!
S. C.
Staff were hard working and friendly.
Food was mediocre
Good covid policies in place. Clean.
A. B.
This has been my 'local' for more years than I care to remember, so I was sad several months ago when I was asked to write a review and had to mention the problems there last year. ( mainly the lack of staff and the lack of management there ..but pleased to say these problems appear to have been resolved recently. Staff decently dressed. Nowhile no glasses waiting age's to be served. ( this has caused people to walk out the pub several times before to my knowledge , including myself and my friends) staff now very attentive and not having a nice chat between themselves while no glasses were available and counter and tables were heaving with dirty glasses...it's back to a nice friendly pub with a good atmosphere ! !
N. S.
Handy pub on the way in to town.large car park at the reader and popular for meals with good food and ales.
S. B.
We have Always enjoyed lovely food at The Dog and today we had our first Sunday roast there. Well what can I say apart from "it was absolutley delicious" and great staff as always. Thankyou!
S.
Good drinks, atmosphere and service. Prices average. Lost one star as mens toilets were like they were part of a pub. Everything was sticky in there
🤢
S. G.
For many years this was one of my favourite pubs but sadly over the last few years it has gradually gone downhill to the point where someone clearly lost the plot and booked an awful reggae disco one Friday night we was in ?!!!! We gave the place a wide berth for a few months but decided to give it another go last Friday and we were pleasantly surprised that they are once again, starting to turn it around. The Dog is officially back in the game !
B. C.
Standard pub with a good atmosphere, a little on the pricy side for the area but nothing drastic. Great specials on a Monday for beer and the food is really tasty. The outdoor area will be great in the summer!
J. H.
Not certain of my ale of choice. Batman gave me two to taste. Beer always good here.
C. B.
Good food, great staff.
R. i. R. M. A.
Nothing on the menu for a Coeliac vegetarian to eat. Why can't places have a separate fryer for chips so at least a bowl of chips could have been ordered without gluten cross contamination! It isn't hard to do! Went for the quiz but didn't start til way after 9 and never ended til gone 11. And hard to hear the questions when there are drunken men balling their mouths off who have been in there since 3 in the afternoon! Pity their wives if they still have one! Won't bother going again.
R. W.
Nice, clean and friendly. Enjoyed my food and it was rapid service which was great.
s. a.
Sea bass was a good choice for me, as I like anything sea food. We would have had an extra meal and overcharged by £13 if I had not checked the receipt, "slip of the finger maybe ! " Apologies made and meal was nice :)
P. R.
Invited to a friend's 80th birthday meal today the meal and service was second to none. Everyone enjoyed your meal. Haven't been here for a few years and will certainly return again!
O. D.
Amazing Staff! Lovely outside seating with good menu and app ordering
G. H.
Top food,friendly staff..good pub ..
A. J.
Good lunch menu. Quite busy so had to wait but was told this when ordering. Food was served hot and staff pleasant so definitely worth the wait
L. K.
Sumptuous food and excellent service.
We always going back there for food and drink
S. K.
Omg. Food is delicious!
Lentil & spinach pie ( vegan) was really nice. The fish & chips were yummy...love the mushy peas ❤
M. B.
staff great, food was great, wish there was more choice for children, everything was good
S. H.
Nice pub, some good ale... on a Monday there is an offer on.. reduced price guest ales.. for some reason they clean the lines on Monday and reduce the variety of beers offered.. I smell a rat... apart from that, it’s a good place for a beer
G. L.
Nice pub. Crap choice of food if you happen to be veggie. . .One room seems to be permanently booked for a private party. Sit in the middle if you can. Sit at the top or down the end where the smoking area is and you will freeze your bits off (if it's winter) each time the door is opened. ...which seems to be often....
L. S.
We just stopped here for food, what a lovely pub, friendly staff and fast service.
The burger we had was just melt in tour mouth 'yum' . Really recommended :)
H. R.
Really nice atmosphere at this family friendly pub. We were just in for a drink but intend to have a Sunday Roast there soon as they look lovely
P. H.
Had an excellent meal. Staff friendly and helpful
C. C.
Local pub. Nice environment. Limited menu but pleasant enough, good wine list, but sadly our preferred wines had ran out by 7.30pm....x
R. H. (.
I really like the dog used to be my local but moved slightly further away but I still go back. Nice family friendly atmosphere any day of the week
Food is tasty, cheap and cheerful.
F. T.
Cozy. A private function, the buffet has a variety of hot and cold savoury food all we're delicious. Would definitely use here again, thank you.
E. S.
I really loved it! I asked for the ultimate burger and I couldn't finish because it was too big. They have such great menu and I'll be back for sure.
A. C.
Excellent place to go for drink or food, with friends or family. Great atmosphere & welcoming staff
m. m.
I have been to the Dog several times and the atmosphere is spectacular. The staff are friendly and efficient. Food presentation and taste is spot on. We have never been disappointed and my friends that we introduced love the place just as much.
M. R.
Food was good but the wait was way too long one of our group turned up later ordered his food only to be told an hour later that they didn't have his starter nor main meal available he reordered got his stater 20mins later then another 40mins later his main arrived & it was cold!!! Bar staff were slow, only one waitress serving everyone poor organisation.
P. J.
Absolutely fabulous service. Jake was excellent. Food tasty. Definitely recommend
M. K.

Have visited The Dog On more than one occasion .... the last two times the food has been excellent ... i really reccomend the brie starter and steak and ale pie. The Staff were friendly and there was a buzz in the air. Very nice to see. A new Manager has definately turned this place arround. The Staff and customers both getting involved with activities taking place quite soon .....from what i could see a young lady manager by the name of Sam collecting team names for sport relief ..... she even explained it to me and remembered me from a previous visit .... always nice to be remembered !!!!!!.............. And i've even got my team of 5 together and am looking forward to my nxt visit already .... Well done The Dog .Nice to see you back on the map.

Slightly above average food , proper flat draft pepsi plus had to wait about 45 mins for food . Doubt we'll go again as the wait was to long and will definitely avoid the pepsi if I did go again .
m. S.
Went in initially for a beer or 2, stayed to eat, bar staff were great, chatty and helpful. Had the Toad in the Hole, absolutely brilliant!! Serving staff were also great!!
M. M.

I think 4 stars is about right. Its not my local but I walk father than I need just to be in the spot, if ya know what I mean? People there are nice on the whole (not many dickheads). Staff are good and courteous (probably dickheads on there own time). Quiz nite is a laugh. Rock n roll bingo is easy to cheat on and win a few pints.

First visit in around 20 years. It was different inside. Good, fast service throughout the evening.
K. B.
Food excellent..homely, relaxing and a comfortable atmosphere. Service from staff very good.

No, this is NOT the Dog. the Dog is about 400 yards away near Lightwoods park.
This is the Amber Tavern. I live very near and a meal at home is better. BUT, I haven't been inside it this millennium. I had a Christmas dinner there, not on Christmas day. It doesn't seem to have changed much according to recent reviews, so I will try it again. The food was very dry, but I put that down to serving a lot of turkey in a short time. They were very hospitable to a group of Deafblind adults and treated us very kindly.
S. S.
A lovely pub. Great affordable food, with friendly service.

Great pub and food, some of the younger staff need ID training because at 32 years of age its now offensive to be asked for ID when im blantantly old enough to drink! Other than that its a good pub.
