Ah, The Brook House—it's one of those local gems that really hits the spot for a casual night out. I've got to say, the staff stand out as the real stars; they're chatty, efficient, and make you feel right at home, which is just what you want after a long day. The atmosphere is spot on too—warm, welcoming, and buzzing with live sports on the telly, whether it's footie, rugby, or the horses. Throw in some pool and darts for a bit of fun, and you've got a proper spot for unwinding with friends. Plus, their drink deals are unbeatable, and it's nice that they welcome kids and pets, making it versatile for all sorts. On the flip side, there was that one review about a staff member being a bit inappropriate, which is a shame and could put some off, so it's worth keeping in mind. And while the prices are fair, the decor does feel a bit stuck in the 70s, but hey, that old-school charm might grow on you. Overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a laugh, as long as you go in with realistic expectations—definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
