My favourite pub for a pre-match or post-match pint. Loads of Saints fans in there on match days and a few away fans too. Good selection of rums and a nice beer garden for the all important victory cigar.
Quirkly little pub that I don't often visit but always enjoy. A nice change from the normal generic places that have now swamped our high streets.
A broad drinks selection to cater for all, including the out and out lunatics that like 4 shots in their drinks. Nice little garden area out the back.
The place abounds with interesting decor, mainly Star Wars themed which make it a bit different and interesting. The indoor area is comfy and the service is friendly. Outdoors they have an open area were you can still watch the football! So overall, you have to say it's a good sports pub. They also have events and stuff going on fairly regularly.
The beer selection is good, they always seem to have doom bar on tap.
My only criticism would be that the place seems a bit rundown. Outside particularly the picnic-style tables really feel like they could give out beneath you at any moment.
Weirdly enough I felt the same as the other reviewers of this venue before I went in the first times, its a bit eccentric and it is a nice place. I was really surprised and have been back several times since.
Lots of memorabilia around the venue makes for a good atmosphere, with great staff, lots of comfy seating, large outside seating area which is great in the summer and fairly good drinks prices!
Lovely pub, I can be found in there often. The pub is run very efficiently and the management and staff are very approachable. They have cult memorabilia and quiz nights too. They have a large garden area with plenty of seating and a laidback and friendly atmosphere, even on weekend evenings which is not always easy to achieve.
Always a very relaxed place, especially at lunch times. The food is a good price and tastes amazing. If you want a bite and a drink highly recommend stopping by, or if you are planning an extended stay, then nab one of the board games from the side and have a good time.
We just popped in for a late lunch. We both had burgers which were really good. The chips were amazing. Maybe a little expensive but that’s the times we’re living in. Service was fast and friendly. It’s a nice place. The atmosphere was a little dead but that was likely due to the time we visited.
Lovely atmosphere and great with kids. Food was absolutely delicious!!!
New owner - nice place but very quiet on a Tuesday. Hope it picks up - the menu looks good but we didn’t eat. I’m going again soon and will update!
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Had the Biscoff as Usual with criss-cross fries - great portion for under £15
We don’t live too far from the Alex and it’s great to find a brilliant pub under new ownership just around the corner! Saw some people with food last weekend so we ordered the smash burgers and were not disappointed. Great portion sizes and amazing burgers with lovely chunky chips which is different from skinny fries at other places. Really friendly staff too which creates a really nice vibe to the whole pub. Recommend for friends to come sit in the beer garden as well as families to come for food.
Absolutely superb.
Great staff great food can't knock it
Used to drink here now and again years ago . Still a nice place
Literally the best burger I’ve ever eaten. Lovely venue and wonderful attentive staff. Like the Macedonians: the Alex is great
Amazing garden, lovely style and the food was amazing, me and friends had burgers, a few drinks and a couple games of pool.
