Great pub. Great beer & Cider. But how on earth can the charge £2.60 for a Lime Soda? Most expensive I’ve seen anywhere in the UK. It’s not even a proper drink. £2.60 should be illegal. I’m not one to kick off, but the keyboard writes itself. Other than that, decent place. But to the bartender, you must question your ethics if you are happy to charge for a few mills of cheap lime syrup. I shall be returning for an opportunity to provide a chance for redemption. Good cider though.

I very much enjoyed our evening at the Christmas Steps. I like the layout over multiple floors making the place feel less crowded. There are a decent selection of ales on tap. 🍺🍺🍺
