I don't particularly care if he is there, I was wondering why someone who supposedly didn't have anything to do with the Bishop anymore would still leave his dog there to be looked after by bar staff.

I can't see much of a change in there.

The service was very tired and the bar was dirty and not being to busy with enough staff to make sure the service was good and it to have been clean.

I think the staff needs a good shake up and it needed to look a little bit different not just a good clean up

Sorry not much of a change

Are you kidding? They've changed everything! Floors, walls, colours, furniture, everything! The filthy dirty dark pub has gone. The windows now open so it was nice and cool inside. They've a cool massive mirror behind the bar with beer taps in and they've thankfully done something about those foul men's toilets! Maybe your just not a very observant person! Credit where it's due, they've done a great job & I thought the staff were great!

Yes I can very much see there had been a refurb

But not very cool and trendy nor quirky design is it

I also couldn't see that it was very much brighter but yes the air conditioning was working much better

The pictures were naff the colour was naff and as I said staff were not smiling and not happy to be working

And again as I said before the bar was dirty and standing there for at least 30 mins with a terrible glass of white wine

Which I couldn't even drink it as it was that bad

I revisited The Bishop last night after a personal invite from the assistant manager to come and see

what they had done to the place as I had not been in for quite a while.


I have to admit the place is unrecognisable to the old Bishop.. The high window tables which I personally

disliked have gone.. The lighting has vastly been improved giving a much more pleasant ambiance.


The loud music has been turned/toned down.. and the usual rowdy mob of Jaeger Bomb drinking idiots were not

in evidence.


The biggest improvement are the loos... wish have now been completely refurbished to a VERY high standard.

The old loos were dreadful.


I was in there late and never got a chance to sample the food or see the menu..

Would definitely consider sampling the food there at a later date.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
