The exterior of The Quays is certainly interesting. Views through the windows are blocked by shelves of old bottles, while uplighters illuminate the blue walls in a tacky alternating spectrum of colour. The interior was also unusual, with three distinct areas, including a front bar adorned with etched mirrors and ornate woodwork and a back section featuring a huge 10 foot screen. Coupled with two plasma screens it verged on 'sports bar' territory. On our Monday visit however it was fairly quiet and we enjoyed some genuinely excellent food in peace, aided by friendly staff. Conversely, on weekend nights a young crowd descends and it gets pretty lively, as it does when big matches are shown. Ultimately, this is a pub which appeals to different people at different times for different reasons - so time your visit well.
