Although the food ordered was of decent quality and value, this was overshadowed by dirty tables, unclean surroundings ( some sort of moulding fruit on the radiator!) and terrible service from both the waitress and bar staff. A little manners go a long way. Unfortuantely it appears everytime I've been in here, regardless of who is working, the bar staff are very rude.. including what I assume was the manager.. leading by example I see!

Mananaged to get a wingback chair all to myself, so was happy as a pig in glabber! Hadn't eaten on this ocassion, but a year before had traditional fayre and average but tasty. Good price for large red and white wine, always a bonus. All I needed was a pipe and a deer stalker!(ha). Getting drunkish in a library appeals.

Still once you order and receive you can sit back and enjoy your evening. Great long standing pub. Connon Doyle has great food and a great atmosphere but the staff are as grumpy as hell.
