She was the only member of waitstaff working the tables and was almost sprinting from table to table, keeping everyone fed and "watered," and doing it all with a huge smile, great attitude, and fantastic banter. It never felt like she was rushed or didn't have time for us (even though she was BUSY). She knew the food menu backward and forward, as well as the drinks menu. The recommendations she gave for both dinner and cocktails were spectacular, and the food and drinks were delicious. We couldn't have been happier. We WILL be back!

There is a plasma screen which shows the latest sporting events anad there is plenty of comfortable seating to relax with a drink on.

Whilst this isn't exclusively a pub for locals, there isn't much to draw you here from out of your way.

I have to say though that I didn't find it friendly. No one was exceptionally rude or anything, I just didn't feel that welcome. Yes the beer was quite cheap and yes they have a big plasma screen, but these really aren't anything special. The pub is quite larg and spacious but I didn't particuarly like the decor, it felt a bit cold and sanitary. Ironic because the place had a funny smell. Not the best pub in the world. Maybe it just has bad days. Certainly room for improvement.

Such a pity to have so few reviews EXCEPT it seems the good people know it, and that's enough. Good music wafts through the space like a hint, convivial conversation permeates but doesn't distract, and the space is warm and comfortable upstairs and down. The wall of spirits here is robust, gorgeous, and functional for your favorite cocktails - but by God if it doesn't feel like a front. Craft beer is paramount here, spoken so capably, enthusiastically, and voluminously. If you're an Untappd person, find Monty's - then listen, don't talk. For all friends, bring your friend here. Sample good things, and enjoy the company. #MeetAtMontys - this is the place. Highest recommendation.

While I can't stand football, I do like good beer, well poured at a fair price and Diggers checks all 3 of those boxes. I do have an affinity for traditional pubs, well those which do things right and the Diggers comfortably falls into this category. I happen to like a pie and a pint or quiet hour to read the paper and have a couple of beers. I happen to like that the staff know, care about and taste the beers and will recommend one to you. The Diggers hasn't changed and I hope it never does. I still wouldn't come here on a match day, but then that is true of a lot of pubs (any with TVs generally), so I shouldn't hold that against the Diggers. This isn't my local, but I probably stop in 3-5 times in any given month and I haven't had a bad visit. So there we are, judged on its merits The Diggers is my kind of pub, the beers are well kept and the prices are fair, so I am a fan.
