   *Racial Profiling* Went to this pub at 6pm with 3 mates for a 30 min break as we had been working in the area. I bought a coke and sat down and after 5-10 minutes someone came over asking for us for ID. To add context it was daylight at 6pm, none of us bought anything alcoholic and we had been sat in the corner of the pub causing no attention to ourselves whatsoever. Obviously I was confused so I asked him what the reason was and he said because his managers told him to. Only one of us had ID on us so the rest of us didn’t provide identification. Now in any other pub in the world if you can’t provide identification you should be kicked out, however no one came back for a good 5 minutes to kick us out or anything which was odd. Now the reason was apparent and obvious and it was because we were the only 4 ethnic minorities in the pub. The table next to us were in a state of disbelief as they knew exactly what happened and why it happened and actually even apologised on their behalf even though they didn’t work there. After 5 minutes past I couldn’t sit any longer so I went to confront the original worker and I asked him firstly whose decision it was and secondly what the reason for asking us was. He then admitted that he was one of the managers, even though he said otherwise earlier and the reason was that U18 aren’t allowed in the pub after 8. It was 6-30 and he or any of his colleagues, who were all listening into the conversation, couldn’t give us a reason why we were asked for ID. Now at this point it was blatantly obvious that me and my 3 friends had been racially profiled. I don’t have any problems with getting ID asked for and it sounds like a small thing to get worked up about however for me and my friends to be treated differently to everyone else because of the colour of our skin is something no one should ever have to go through in this day and age or any other. It clearly shows people of colour aren’t welcome or trusted at the pub. Would not recommend going to this pub unless you got the same skin colour as the manager

   The beer selection is good, but the staff is even better. Friendly, attentive, and helpful. Plenty of room and a good atmosphere. Cheers!

   Friendly pub, plenty of seats available to enjoy the lovely sunshine and in winter a lovely warm fire inside. Friendly service and good all round pub. Only minus 1 star as the toilets desperately need an update. They were the same 21 years ago and haven't changed since. Hand dryer has a mind of its own.

   We felt very lucky to find this pub. It is a brilliant drinkers pub. Good beer at very good prices! Nice charcterful pub, Quiz nights, jukebox, pool table and plenty of seating inside and out. It is a dog friendly pub, there is dog hair about. But with no food, I see no problem. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area!!
