Olde England 2 in Wellingborough

Ah, Olde England 2 – it's one of those pubs that just pulls you in with its charm, you know? I popped in recently and found the staff to be an absolute delight; they're so approachable and make the place feel like a proper local hangout where you can kick back and have a laugh. The drinks are a highlight too – think perfect pints and tasty ciders that go down a treat, especially if you're after something straightforward and well-poured. And let's not forget the beer garden; it's a lovely spot to relax, with that friendly cat adding a bit of whimsy to the evening. It's got this old-school rock vibe as well, perfect for catching a band or just enjoying the atmosphere with friends. On the flip side, though, the interior's looking a bit worn out – it's dark and could do with some TLC to shake off that tired feel. The real ale isn't quite up to scratch anymore, which is a pity because it used to be a real draw. Plus, the landlord seems a bit distracted, propping up the bar with his phone, so it might not be as engaging as you'd hope. All in all, it's a solid spot for a casual night out if you're in the area, but it'd be even better with a few updates to keep the magic alive.
