"Found The Bessemer as my twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of town and what a great find. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, the interior is cool,a quite large bar ,a cool looking serving...bar dominates the main room, eclectic decor and furnishings, funky lighting and plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar,its just a great bar to chill out in. We were here on a Thursday night, greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of the bar team, we got beers which were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great bar we were in. My beer was really good, a light, hoppy and unpretentious lager style beer bursting with taste, on a hot night a totally refreshing brew, it was just so good being in such a lovely bar enjoying a quality brew and served by staff who are genuinely pleased to see you in their bar,its hardly surprising that this bar is so popular. We really enjoyed our beers in here and the great vibe so much so that we ended up staying for another beer each before moving on and for a first time visit to The Bessemer we were totally impressed. The Bessemer is easy to locate along Leopold Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, Open from Midday. A wonderful bar,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area."

"I had a great experience at Yates while out shopping with my partner. We were looking for a place to escape the bad weather and found the perfect refuge at Yates. The customer service was excellent, starting with the lovely lady, Ange, who helped us choose the best cider from their Lilleys range. Jamie, a friendly and engaging young man, guided us on where to sit and which sports were being shown. I even saw him running around in the kitchen, yet he still went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. The burgers were delicious too! We will definitely be returning to Yates for the warm welcome and delicious food."

"The Nag's Head is conveniently located close to Wood Green tube station. My family and I were in the area to see a band at Alexandra Palace and decided to pop to the pub for a quick bite to eat before the show. We arrived just after 5pm, ordered some drinks and was advised that we could order food at 5.30 once the chef was back from their break. We went back to the bar at that time and ordered but was advised that they were out of fish and chips, so opted for 3 burgers and a plate of nachos instead. At 6.35, one of the burgers arrived but we were not provided with cutlery, seviettes or any sauces or seasoning etc. At 6.55pm, I went to the bar to see if I could get an update for the other 3 dishes and waited 15 minutes to speak to a member of staff. Another member of our party then came up to the other end of the bar and managed to speak to a member of staff quickly. He was advised that, although we had paid for 4 meals and drinks, only 1 meal was put through to the kitchen. As we had waited almost 2 hours for food, we asked to cancel the order and were provided with a cash refund for the missing food, despite paying by card. The member of staff that we spoke to did apologise for the error and kindly offered some bottles of beer for free. We explained that we needed to leave and didn't have time for more drinks and they suggested keeping the tops on and taking them with us. Unfortunately, when we tried to leave the pub, 2 of us got through and the other 2 were stopped by the bouncers on the door. They then told the 2 of us who had gotten out, to get back in the pub and that we couldn't take the drinks with us. We explained that the bar staff gave us the drinks as an apology and the bouncers said that they wouldn't have given them to us to take with us (even though the lids were on the bottles). When we tried to protest that this was not fair, we were advised that if we made a fuss, we'd be barred from the pub. It was quite embarrassing to be spoken to like this in front of those who were going in/out of the pub, so we decided to cut our losses and leave the drinks. Even then, they insisted on patting down my brother, as they thought he had hidden a bottle in his pocket (he hadn't). In addition to the above, when I went to the women's toilets before leaving, they were dirty and only 2 stalls had toilet paper available. The sign on the door showed that they had not been cleaned since 9am that day. The staff on site did seem very busy, so perhaps they were short staffed and had been unable to clean as often as normal. I can forgive mistakes and the offer of free drinks and a refund was appreciated. It is a shame that we offered drinks to take away and then have them taken off of us though. A combination of waiting over an hour for 1 burger, not being given cutlery, dirty toilets, 3/4 of our order being missed and then the interaction with the bouncers has made it so that, even though we were not barred as threatened, we will not be heading back to this pub."

"Came here on Saturday to watch the rugby what a day, looked after from the start the atmosphere was amazing all screens showing the rugby for the town yet people moaning England football couldn’t be shown due to the sheer volume of people wanting the rugby which is massive for the town, it was one day us leigh fans wanted. other pubs trying their best to damage a business for no reason all because a pub is doing well, this pub is doing amazing and allows children in which is amazing so they can be involved in the towns success some people need to grow up."

"Despite the restaurant being quite busy with many patrons dining between Commonwealth Games athletics events, our food arrived promptly. The waitress was incredibly friendly and had a warm smile. The prices were very reasonable, especially compared to what we’re accustomed to in London. Overall, the food was enjoyable, and we had a great visit."

"This restaurant is a bit difficult to review. Considering the price, I'd rate it four stars—fantastic value for money! Our meal and two large drinks only came to £25. However, I was disappointed to find that the pie was not the same as the one shown in the menu. The chips were also a letdown, as they tasted like cheap frozen ones and were still slightly icy. On the plus side, the option to choose three small plates (starters) for £10 (or five for £13) is a great way to sample different flavors. The beef was, well, beef—only a small portion had some inedible fat. The atmosphere is nice, with simple British pub vibes. It was pleasant and clean, with early 2000s music playing softly in the background and lighting on the darker side, which I personally prefer."

"This is a lovely pub with a DJ playing classic tunes tonight. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the clientele is friendly, with no issues from any patrons. I noticed some people enjoying their food, which looked appetizing, so I'll definitely have to give it a try and update my review. The restrooms are clean, and the bar staff are welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed a few well-kept pints of London Pride, and they offer a variety of other ales, lagers, and spirits on tap. Additionally, there's a good selection of wines available. It has a cozy, local feel, which I really appreciate—it’s definitely my kind of place. The pub is also accessible, featuring a disabled toilet and entrance, as well as ample space for wheelchairs inside, complete with accessible tables. The men's restroom was tidy as well. There's an outdoor area for smoking or just sitting outside. Overall, a great spot!"

"Always fab, been visiting regularly for a long time. Pre covid and post covid. Staff are always polite and ready to have fun. Even with all the restrictions they were great even with not so polite customers. Since restrictions have lifted its nice to see its gone back to the good night life it previously was. Keep up the hard work"

"I remember this place having reasonable prices, but that's not the case anymore. Charging £4.50 for a Stella when you can get it for £3.80 at The Swan and £3.19 at Wetherspoons? It's no surprise it was empty on a Friday night! I would have rated it one star, but I gave it an extra star for the good music."

"good atmosphere, everyone dances on tables......female toilets the best they get.... average clean and not blocked with toilet paper; loo roll still available. no guinness on hahn, and a good selection of beer .friendly bar employees.... no mandatory politician insisting that a substance should be placed in my drink. as in the did, zinc. the great healer of the wounds. I would recommend you to try and see yourself; dancing on the tables is not for all, but they also have a choice of the dance floor."

"we were here for bestival and this place was our retter! ate here 4 days just eating was fantastic and at such a great price. the staff were friendly and polite in contrast to some other institutions keeping to festival goers! the festival may not have been fair to our expectations, but the hogshead has more than balanced and has made us smile every day!"
"The restaurant does not have an ID scanning system, which makes customers feel unsafe. If anything were to happen, the door staff cannot communicate with other clubs and pubs, which is essential for ensuring everyone's safety."
