The Goose

The goose is a fitting description for this abode. It sits just off of the high street in a cove of its own making on the well pedestrianised edges of Hatton and from a distance could be perceived as a swan. Fact, it is not a swan. Outside the bar is completely crammed with folk scrambling to keep their buttocks upon the wooden benches in front and within the pub-chain vibe sweeps the place in a coating sour to the tasteless and predictable decor that it displays and then it is drowned in the swarms of folk - five deep at the bar with the souls at the back waiting for the bar outside. Having said this it is a Friday night feeling that brings the calling of this plague of people upon the place. In the week it is a sad, untouched standard chain-pub with slightly-less-expensive-than-normal beers, an average selection of other drinks and a forgivable temperament for the less-than-exciting suited punters that occupy.

Overall not to the taste of anyone who wants a nicer experience than a Lloyd’s bar crammed into a phone box in a back alley in a prestigious area - 3/10
