The Union is situated directly next door to
the George, great for when its p*#@ing down cos you don’t
have to go far from one pub to the next.
The Union was the original darts & dominoes
pub and was the last to get done up in about 95, which managed
to drive the codgers out.
The union has become pretty popular since then and queues are
not uncommon on a Friday night.
The Union has just been done up again (Jun 2002)
but it seems to have gone a bit posh doing away with the pool
table at the rear and the window seat at the front where you
could sit and watch the High St go by. There has been a noticable
decline in the number of customers on a Friday night even in
the couple of weeks since the refurbishment. This is down to
the number of tables taking up space where all of the customers
used to stand !
The extra seating has just served to make the pub even narrower.
The beer garden has also had a makeover with
fancy new patio brolleys and heaters which look quite smart.
There’s a reasonable menu cheaply priced
& the atmosphere and beer are good. They do 'any 2 meals'
off the menu for £4.99
The main draw back is it is another long narrow
pub & the toilets are upstairs, no good when you’re
slaughtered.
Best feature,
good beer garden and big screen sky tv, but lose some of the
tables and seating before you lose all the customers !!
