The Grange (Oadby)

THE GRANGE (Journey time 15 minutes)

Visited on a Thursday evening, been here several times. Bonus points for selling Pepsi Max, but the seating is a bit shit. Looks great, but uncomfortable and badly organised. Always a good atmosphere, very busy in the summer. 

Seating - 2/5
Overall Surroundings - 3.5/5
Bar Staff - 3/5
Drink Selection - 4/5
Ambience - 4/5
Temperature - 4/5
Toilets - 3/5
Bonus Points - 3/5

Comments: A good general purpose pub, if only they would sort out the seating.

Overall Score = 3.31/5

The Yews (Great Glen)

THE YEWS (Journey time 15 minutes)

Visited on a Thursday evening, been here several times. Friendly bar staff and a reasonable drink selection, nice surroundings which are broken up into smaller spaces to avoid the 'barn' feeling witnessed in The Roebuck. Used to sell Pago but sadly this is no longer available.

Seating - 4/5
Overall Surroundings - 4/5
Bar Staff - 4/5
Drink Selection - 3/5
Ambience - 3/5
Temperature - 3/5
Toilets - 3/5
Bonus Points - 2/5

Comments: Blighted by the Great Glen cackling witch, who always seems to be there whenever we go these days, not the pub's fault, but someone has to take the blame.

Overall Score = 3.25/5
