They decorate and get into the spirit at Halloween and Christmas. It is a Rock pub but mainly in the evening. In the daytime it gets an eclectic mix of shoppers of all ages, being in the town centre, and older people. In the evening it changes and the music really is too loud to hold much of a conversation. Mainly heavy rock and metal. There are usually a bunch of middle aged rockers, sat at the bar, but they are a friendly bunch as are the stuff. Tues night is the night to go as it is Student Night and £1 a pintthe best thing is you don't have to be a student to get the prices. Always queues for the ladies which are entered through victorian glass window style doors. You can have a good chat in the queue as it seems quieter there. On other nights the beer is still reasonably priced.

I use the business banking in HSBC Retford which I've found to be far more competent than in other…read morebranches I've dealt with in the past. The branch itself is located slap-bang in the middle of the high street (Carolgate) so there's no immediate parking as it's pedestrianised. They've got self-service facilities and service counters, and it's a fairly busy branch. It's an old building which has retained a little of its original character, but with the features you'd expect of a modern bank. My opinion of HSBC as a company on the whole is very very very poor, but this branch is about as good as it gets for them.

Only recently opened at the end of 2008 it is located in the old Next town centre store in Queen Victoria square opposite Hull City Hall. This branch as superseeded the one originally located at 32 Paragon Square and has a light and airy feel to it, unlike how dingy the old branch was. In side the branch there is a large customer services counter and a addtional two counters for premire customers and forgein exchange. There is two account manager machines, one self services cash dispenser and two paying in\deposit machines. There is also another two self service machines outside down Paragon Street. More friendly branch and is more accessible to parents and disabled customers - where as the Paragon street branch was difficult to manover round.

The A & L account wasn't bad but after thorough searching of all the companies with local branches the nationwide offered the best options for savings for children. I was also please because I firmly believe in the proper 'mutual' building society ethos. When we did a review of our finances my wife decided that she would also do her main banking with the nationwide. This is based on our experiences of this branch. The services offered are excellent and very competitive and the staff are lovely - knowledgeable and helpful. The only downside is that it is so popular, on a saturday you can be queuing out of the door!
