The Old Contemptibles

Lovely looking pub, with nice vintage aesthetics. I have visited here a couple of times a few years before with friends. My latest visit was a quick solo lunchtime pint. There was a very good beer selection to pick from, and great, friendly, welcoming service which is something of a rareity around this particular area these days. Definitely one of the best pubs in the city centre.

Very good and friendly staff, service, Guinness was very nice. Fish & chips are very nice and hot, but I could have done with a few more chips, spent 6 hours catching up with a friend. Felt very welcome.

Overall a fantastic, atmospheric and cozy pub. The thing that stands out is the amazing decor - everything is in a WWI style with hints of WWII - which contributes to an unique and incredible experience. Indeed, the pub has a lot of history, as the 'Old Contemptibles' was the name given to the British Expeditionary Force in WW1 by Kaiser Wilhelm - so naturally some of the soldiers came back and opened a pub! Great food too; the steak and ale pie was fantastic and warming, and the desserts were all indulgent and provided a great finish. Fine selection of alcohol to choose from too. Also, I can't forget the brilliant service we received! All in all, a very fine pub with fine furnishing and delicious food.
