I have to stick up for the Fluke here,It was left to go downhill over a period of a couple of years, and as Smee says the seats were minging and the whole place was getting well scabby,but since new manager Gordi Steel took over he has been workin his erse off with little or no budget to turn the place round and slowly is getting the place far better than it has been of late. He now has dual Sky to watch 2 different sport channels simultaneously and the food pricing is obviously structured to encourage the 2 for one offers,i agree the 9 quid burger is obviously no gonna happen if yer on yer own but when 2 are eating and the cheaper meal is free it works out a pretty cheap eating out with the bill rarely over a tenner for 2 folk or 2 courses for 8 quid is pretty good value compared to most town pubs.
The atmosphere is also generally pretty good with no bother or hassle that i've seen.If your no happy with something ,ask to speak to Gordi( he's very approachable) and let him know your concerns,he'll deffo take them on board and is continuall working to improve the place
(and no ,he didnae give me a free pint to write this)
