Soar point was an absolute shambles today. Managed to get a table but it took me 25 mins to get the first pint. They had 2 bar staff on even though the place was absolutely rammed. I ordered food and got to my table, then after about 20 mins the manager comes over and says the table is reserved and 3 people were at the door and we had to leave. I said well I can’t seeing as we have food on the way and there is no sign on the table saying it was reserved. He then says we’ll it’s reserved so move, I said what about the food I’ve paid for? Then he just walked off. Anyway in the end they actually turned away the people who had reserved the table. I felt bad for them but what a shambles. The food took 1 hour 20 to arrive too! I just can’t believe they were so unorganised, what did they expect? Also why the hell would a pub be taking reservations on match day when it’s gonna be full anyway?!

I went there for the first time today and couldn’t believe how little bar staff they had on. They were more worried about sorting the drinks for the people that had ordered through the app than serving the people at the bar. Need another 2/3 behind the bar

Yeah exactly. They should sack off they table app ordering ASAP. Also still having tables reserved is just so stupid, makes me think what clown is running the place.

Soar Point will pick up when the students come back and they hire staff in time for Freshers. They got caught with their pants down because they probably forgot that football starts in August. lol

 

Try it again in a month's time and it'll be fine. Apart from the £6 for an IPA. :whistle:

Starting to feel quite light in terms of pre/post match drinking options near the ground.


Western not really worth it anymore and Soar point was a bit of a nightmare pre match.

Ive been using Oases for about 15 years for match days. I love it in there. Never any trouble & a real mixed bag of characters in there. 
Beer is decent price. £3.70 a pint. Was £3 before lockdown etc. Can't blame them for putting price up. 
Thought it was gonna be rammed Saturday with Lost Bar being closed but it was quite comfortable.

Not sure if they're still doing them.

Pubs wise you have the Black Horse, West End Brewery and the doghouse. 
Bars- natterjacks, some goth metal one and one or two other bang average places.

West End Brewery is great. For a relatively modern place it’s characterful and it’s beer selection is always getting better

I like West End Brewery but it is very small, how busy does it get

Blues Bar should be absolutely rammed every game given where it is. Club could hit a huge market if they open up a pub or bar in the new expansion. 

if they want to make it a destination like they said a big sports bar where they could put events on for other sports would make sense.
