Grosvenor Arms

This place has had two bad reviews but I had to try it for myself. It is an old mans pub and rather scruffy, but is still worth trying if you are in the area. The beer choice is poor, I was drinking bottled Mann’s Brown Ale. Yes, an old mans drink. Still, it is friendly enough and more comfortable than the Jolly Gardeners, next door.

This pub is a disgrace!
It’s dirty, dreadful staff and scummy glasses.
Don’t bother!

Ahoy! If I say the words ‘old man pub’ I’m sure y’all will see where this is going. I’ve been in here a few times (not really by choice) and although I’ve never had an unpleasant visit it has always been rather, well, dead inside (hence the affectionate nickname ‘The Graveyard Arms’). No matter how sunny it is outside, inside the Grosvenor/​Graveyard is always gloomy and quiet.
There will never be a queue for the bar though as it is likely the only people in the pub will the die-​hard regulars who, one can only presume, frequently return because of some sympathetic solidarity and loyalty to a pub that fun and good times forgot long ago.
The inside decoration is «traditional» and the beer has dust in it (alright, I’m being harsh, there’s no dust in it). But none the less, it’s not really a pub you would look forward to spending time in. As there are plenty of other options for a drink on Garratt Lane, I’d suggest looking elsewhere,
