The Bowling Green

The pub is a great blend between modern and tradition. There is a good line of varied beers which is regularly updated, the food is decent and the staff are good fun and welcoming. Dogs are welcome. Despite some rumours the place is not overrun by students, they are welcomed along with everyone else but there is always a pleasant atmosphere. The live music is also a highlight.

We had a lot of fun going to this pub! They have a good selection of beers and they even have a decent selection of food.
Nigel, the barkeep was a lot of fun! He tries to razz you on the way in and then he tells you a few jokes before he gives you delicious beer!
We got to meet the most famous patrons of the bar. One was a black lab named Starla and the other was a wiener dog named Dottie. Both exceptional patrons.
You would be remiss if you did not stop in for, at least a cold one. I would recommend to order some food, beverage and then settle in for a fun card game or some excellent conversation!!
We will return to see Nigel and his wonderful staff again!!

Love this pub! They've got a great selection of cider and the staff are very friendly. The open mic nights on Tuesday are really good and I generally enjoy my time a lot when I go to this pub, unlike others.

A lovely pub, wonderful people all around
Great drinks and food
Would love to go there everyday!
Highly recommended!!!

Me and my mates walked into the pub and were demanded to give up our booked quiz table and stand after half an hour because we hadn’t all bought drinks. 2 of us had already bought pints and we would’ve happily bought more had she not rudely told us that if we didn’t buy more drinks we had to get off our table. Plenty of nicer places to go where you won’t be ushered out early for not drinking enough. Won’t be going back.

Top pub, always enjoy my visits. Great service, good range of beer. Clean, warm and great atmosphere. Loved the Sunday night quiz. Thankyou

Great place nice and chilled and the landlord and landlady are really friendly. The food also good. A great place to go and meet friends and have a drink. ;)

Nice pub with a good pool table and table football, and a small outside area. Really fun pub quiz on a Sunday evening too.
