The Ned Ludd

Nice relaxing atmosphere for a quick stop for a cold one. Staff are helpful, Friendly and had a laugh which always makes you feel welcome. Only stayed for the one but good location while waiting for my son doing his driving theory test. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was ok, cannot comment on the pub, as we were at a private function upstairs. Ladies toilets were a bit tired both upstairs and down , one loo seat was broken, the room looked a bit tired. But the small bar was ok and staff friendly. Out side catering ok, but nothing special.

Food, service & atmosphere I have no complaints with; but I visited with 4 friends on a festive night out (Dec 30) for some quality beers, and despite having 16 hand pumps, not one was a bitter / dark ale. (Included in the 16 were Guinness and a stout, both of which were off - and would have been my next choice.) The other 14 were: 6 x lager 4 x IPA 2 x cider 2 x white / wheat beer. What is wrong with so many city pubs now? Surely people want a decent bitter instead of a choice of 6 lagers?? We’d just been to the Roundhouse which is a great venue, they had 3 pumps off, all of which were real ale / bitter (Timothy Taylor’s was one I think?) - doesn’t this, and the Guinness & stout both off in the Ned Ludd, tell you what people favour?? Ned Ludd is a historical local-ish character associated with resistance to change; so please don’t change our traditional beers!!! I won’t be visiting again, but if you like lager, go for it.

I just jumped in there for one hour between time for my connecting flights and I was impressed with a service of Elsie who went extra mile for me. She was very polite and asked me if I would like to add sauce and take leftover what I really appreciated.The food was so tasty and the service was great. The pub looks very nice. If I go again to this airport I would definitely go again to this bar.I highly recommend it to everyone.

Nice "proper" pub. Only had a drink, but it seemed a nice place. Not too expensive albeit quite close to Market Square

Nicely decorated inside. Loads of photos on the walls. Guinness was top class. Descent sized room. Music being piped through which was low and enjoyable. Visited here with friends. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great visit.

Very rude and arrogant staff.. Went on a Sunday night for a quiet drink with a friend..it was not busy apart from some regulars who were sat near the bar and well engaged with the bar staff..I asked the bartender if they would welcome some feedback on the loudness of music..it was far too load you couldn't hear yourself talking.. The bartender was not interested at all , instead she went to the table next to the bar she was repeating what I said to the table..there was about 8 people.. They started laughing and suggested I went elsewhere..actually the manager to me to go elsewhere and maybe listen to Opera instead. I told them the staff were very unprofessional and at that point the manager told me not to talk to the members of staff about being unprofessional..at that point the whole crowd near the bar managers clearly the bar managers friends were trying to make a mockery of me .My friend who has recently.been diagnosed with a brian tumour was most upset and so was I. With over 45 years experience in the hospitality trade I have never seen a place which has staff so arrogant and disrespectful.. Whilst I was I there I also noticed the place was filthy ..run down and the toilets were very unhygienic.. Not surprising as all the bartenders were seen upon spending more time with the crowd near the bar instead of checking and ensuring the premises and its surroundings are fit for purpose. I would strongly NOT recommend this place for a social drink.. I will also be notifying the Hygiene Agency and the Licensed Authorities about certain Privacy Policies.

The pub in itself is lovely until you walk through the door to the toilets. Seeing this atrocity the pub should be shut down. No door on the no2 toilet and no toilet seat Disgraceful. Shut the place down now H & S.
