Granny Gibbs

A friend was heading here last night for a birthday party so the Mr and I decided to gatecrash it with her.
The pros:
It has a decent sized beer garden — rules are: bring your glasses back inside; only open until 10; keep your tops oan.
It has THE absolute most amazing light fittings I’ve ever seen — literally cherubs hanging from the ceiling holding bunches of grapes (with light inside). Completely trashy but I totally want one! If you spot one (particularly of a standard lamp variety), please let me know !
It has a raised seating section — this is where the party was (complete with dj/​karaōke which was actually great fun).
Granny Gibbs is full of the tackiest collection of decorative ornaments I’ve ever seen — from a gigantic fish on the wall & a collection of old teapots, to huge carved heads finishing off the bannisters. Everything here should be just awful and not work, but for some reason everything fits together and is actually quite charming.
Cons:
Very limited selection of beer on tap: tennents or heinneken were about the best on offer.
The gents loo was pretty big — but now looking quite tired and in need of a refurb.
The person serving was of the disinterested, don’t care, don’t want to be there variety. Not exactly friendly, but not particularly nasty either.
Broadly speaking, it’s not somewhere I’d frequent very often, but I’d be cool with going to another function here.

great little pub which has nice décor and friendly staff. good selection of drinks and a beer garden. usually relaxing atmosphere daytime.

This is a great Sunday pub, just to go in after a hard night out and relax and cure the hangover, or if you just fancy a quiet night it is perfect, if you live in the area you should pop in for a drink everyone is so friendly and will make you feel welcome
