The Salisbury

Tried to go into the Salisbury last night, went into the back bar.... really smokey, went into the front bar again really smokey. The litte non-smoking bar was absolutely packed out. The Salisbury is in a perfect position to introduce non smoking properly, i.e. make one of the bigger front or back bars non-smoking, I am sure their trade would go up if they did.

Was in the back bar a little earlier and it wasn't too bad but as we were leaving the air was getting heavier, more smoke filled and warm. What really amazed me and Mrs Sloop was a woman smoking at the bar which displayed very polite signs (the bar, not the customer!) - No smoking at the Bar. Why couldn't she and her two male friends sit down on three of the many empty chairs.

How appropriate - Me and Mrs Sloop go for a holiday type drink this lunchtime and there is a notice on the bar to say that as from 1 June 2006 the back bar will be non smoking. A giant leap forward for mankind.

Anyone give any advice on staying there (FA Cup Final night). Relations coming down for wedding - Pobably not need to bother if WH are playing (Mr T). Booked a Training Room once and had to move the course. Any suggestions? Room's located at the rear?

My in-laws stayed there when I got married. Seemed like it was ok. Though my Wife's friends thought the lock-ins at the Ram made that better value.

Think you have confirmed it. Freinds will prefer the Ram, Not quite Mum & Dad's thing though. The other option fot them in WH Hertingfordbury. They are concerned about Saturday Night Noise in the Town

The In-laws didn't have a problem with any noise, but they do live near a busy road and I don't know where their rooms were.

Either/or - amount to the same thing. Are the many WH supporters anywhere? [:o)]

Interesting re the discussion on the Hertford Club elsewhere as the back bar of the Salisbury is totally non-smoking as from today. Me and Mrs sloop celebrated this fine occassion by having a smoke free half this evening - and jolly pleasant it was too.

Used the back bar on Friday and how pleasant it was to be in a clean atmosphere. The salisbury's bars remind me of the old fashioned hotel/pub bars I knew in Wales 30 years ago full of middle aged people having a quiet drink. Then I realised I am now one of those middle aged people! The sooner smoke free becomes the norm, the better. I was in scotland for 2 weeks and the improvement in the pubs up there was wonderful, and they did not seem to lack for trade.

Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of popping into the Salisbury for Sunday Lunch this weekend. They have a sign up stating that "Due to essential electrical work" they will be closed all day this Sunday (31st October)from 6am - 6pm

Thanks for the information, solved me a problem. Nice to see that The Salisbury gets no (negative) comments in over 4 years.

Yes it is , if im after a quick midweek bar lunch i still love The Salisbury , for not a lot more than Wetherspoons , the burger and chips or bangers and mash are an infinitely better experience . Not been in the resaurant for many a year though , must put that right .
