A hidden gem. The Obelisk is a locals pub with great atmosphere, always recieve a good welcome. Known for it's live music on Friday nights. It has recently reopened it kitchen providing a good range of pub and great selection of Beers at a reasonable . Recent had food there , very good home cooked . Will go there again. Recommended
Played a gig here with my band and it was a hell of a lot of fun! A really nice spacious area for the band and a good size garden. Staff are all lovely and the locals created a brilliant atmosphere
Went recently as a guest at a kids' 13th birthday party. Had an awful experience. The bar staff were extremely rude, bar one lady. Paid for the hire of the hall, the landlady complained to us about the music not being to her taste and she didn't want to listen to it all night so she went to our dj and complained about it requesting older music at a children's part. Also the host paid a member of staff for the night to be our side of the bar for the night to serve adults drinks, but there was hardly anyone there so they had to go around to the otherside where everyone else was not the private part that was hired and staff paid for. There was a two situations at the party which was sorted instantly when was told, then for the landlady to be going around telling adult guests about the issues for them to deal with it which is not the guest responsibility. Also, a huge amount was paid for a buffet for the party, and for what was paid for the food, it was poor quality, was cheap, and not thought about at all. Kids were being moaned at by 2 of the staff for anything that they had done. They were also accusing and telling guests that they thought 12 year olds were doing drugs in the toilet as more than one child went into the toilet at one time. How the host was treated and spoke to, very patronising and belittling, they couldn't enjoy the night as the staff was constantly on their back about any minor thing. Very poor experience and wouldn't recommend it to anyone again. The amount they're charging for private hire is disgusting the quality and rudeness you receive, host, and guests.
Lovely pub. Went in there with a few mates. Played pool for 2 hours. Kicked us out for being under 25. Didn’t know this was a rule that existed, thought if your over 18 you could drink but according to this rude land lady maybe not. Spent £100+ in there over 2hrs then suddenly was told to leave by the landlady who was quite blunt. When we questioned her she was very rude towards us. Was half way through a lovely pool game when disturbed. Won’t be returning. Ruined my mates birthday brawl.
Really good popped in with my buddy on a Sunday night and we had a warm welcome and great drinks. Use your local to keep it open.
Sue & Barry couldn’t do enough for us, we had my Dad’s Wake there & well over 100 people & was just perfect all the help they gave was amazing
Nice local pub. Dog friendly with a huge garden. Pool tables are only 50p a game which is unheard of these days. My only gripe is that it looks very intimidating when groups of locals are stood right outside the front door smoking. Why not designate a specific area away from the entrance
