in the last weekThis used to be our regular haunt; for at least 7 years. And whilst it definitely needed some investment, especially at the end of that time - its been turned from a pub into a pitch black cocktail bar. The front room is the only saving grace - it feel like a modern colonial members club and has character. Unfortunately, the incompetence when it comes to trying and securing a table in the latter area and/or trying to speak to anyone who knows what's going in is a fools errand. The first time the booking was successful, however, despite them confirming that the football would be on in advance, I got a call on the day saying it would not. Fast forward to my next request; tried to book online around 2 weeks in advance (requesting the front room and for football to be on). Called as no one responded to my booking questions and spoke to someone who could confirm front room but didn't know about the football, however, promised a same day call back which obviously never came. Called back- no one picked up - so emailed. Obviously still no response via email, so re-called and the operative couldn't tell me whether the football on itv would be on but told me to call back tomorrow. They clearly don't want our custom or are too incompetent to warrant it. Such a shame to see ones local turned into a soulless venue (on the whole) and with staff unaware of what's going on.

4 weeks agoWe had such a wonderful experience at Calico! The food was absolutely delicious – full of rich flavors and beautifully presented. The live music added a warm and vibrant touch, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed evening. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. The whole setting had such a great vibe – comfortable, lively, and inviting. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommended!
