Cat and Fiddle (Stanley Road)

The Cat and Fiddle is a good place to watch the match, as they have 3 TV's and a Big screen, sometimes show 2 matches simultaneously and its never chocker 'easy to get a seat'.
Not so long ago they started getting bands (and poets) in on Thursday nights to try and attract more punters, but failed. (A good idea but would have been better if it was on a weekend)
The one thing about the Cat that really pisses us off is the selection of ale.
They don't sell Carling but they serve Touborg. What is this all about? I did try the Touborg a few weeks before we went in to review the pub. I was shitting through an orifice for a week solid or may i say runny.

Atmos - Like a morgue at times. But not too bad on match days and its friendly.

Ale - 3/5 Everything is average apart from the Touborg (shit) and Erdinger (fantastic)

Toilets - 2/5 They did have bog roll and they did have a lock on the door, but they also had flies, pissy floor and a strange contraption on the ceiling that makes a scary noise. Surfboard method not required.... just the "squatter".

Decor - 2.5/5 Clean but boring.

Staff - 4/5 Fast friendly and sometimes 'pot noodles'

TV's - 2.5/5 as I said 3 TV's and a big screen.


Overall score
4/10


'Pot Noodles' means tasty woman that you can later have a wank over whilst eating your pot noodle.

Surfboard technique is what it says on the tin... You have to pretend that you're riding a surfboard to have a shit on the bog without touching the seat and keeping the door closed at the same time (if no locks on door). [photo's available - just ask!]
