    Really enjoyed it. I cant believe how different it is compared to when it was The Orchard. It looks great, alot better than previously. Nice grub, good service and good value.</p>

    One thing that did disappoint though was the music. Not the quality, the volume. Four of us were in for a nice meal, and a quiet drink. The volume whilst we were eating was nice, pleasant. Not long after we finished eating the volume steadily increased, to a point where we couldnt hear each other. I went upstairs to the toilet, and it was a lot better upstairs. Nice bar up there, quieter, and the music was still at a good level.</p>

    On the whole though im really impressed with the place and will deffo visit again soon.</p>

    The upstairs bar - do they still have the handpumps up there?

    Glad you enjoyed it - I was surprised how far back it went at the bar area (forgetting how much the brewery area took up before). Looking forward to a pub crawl between there and the Gatehouse soon!

    Sorry mate, I didnt take notice of the handpumps at all. Only had a glance at the bar and it looked fine. Liek you, I couldnt believe how big it actually is in there, they have utilised the space far better now. Glad its no-smoking too. Can actually come out of there and smell fresh and smoke free.

    LOL

    as you can tell, im not a regular in town so I didnt know this, until my cousin told me whilst we were out. Sheltered life an all that!</p>

    I cant really recall if there was a real theme with the music, but it was more easy listening stuff rather than rock. Billy Joel - River of Dreams was played which satisfied my taste.</p>

    No

    I dont think so. Just easy listenin thats all, but easy listening defeats the object when you pump it up Jack.

    "Easy Listening"

    Now there's an oxymoron! I find it anything but easy listening!

    I think you'll find an oxymoron stands alone regardless of context.

    Have that Mr P.</p>

    Do they have Sky Sports? I was thinking of going in there on Saturday before the match but want to watch the Sheff U V Liverpool match first.
