The Brigantes Pub

If you're the kind of person who enjoys wearing a flat cap and gets a kick out of seeing three thousand beer mats displayed on a wall, then the Brigantes pub is for you! The beer is called "ale", a spade is called a "spade", and the food is really very good. The toilets, however, leave something to be desired.

The first thing one notices is the smell - like mould in drag. Moving on, the toilet roll is plain white and hygienically encased in a holder. The bin is covered, and at a comfortable distance from one's thighs. The flush is of the horizontal lever type, not too hard to pull, but not particularly easy either. The toilets are clean, but there is a disturbing water leak visible on the floor.

There is a depressing air dryer, and incredibly depressing separated taps, with only cold water coming from the hot water tap.

Incredibly depressing

 The soap is unscented and comes, for some reason, with instructions.

Instructions for use

The coat hook is perfectly good. It is not possible to exit without touching the door handle; however there are amusing French prints on the walls.
