What Rosie Posie doesn't like about The Golden Ball:
Boring. You can start improving by putting a mirror in the ladies toilet because it is a must. Also the socialist worker poster in the garden room seems boring. It needs some neo gothic ambience there. Clocks colours are too gray. The performances are also not good and extremely boring. Pub area is too small. It also needs to consider capitalist people and vibes. Maybe also put elon musk poster next to the socialist... View all feedback. What Rob Patrick likes about The Golden Ball:
Atmospheric and historic pub, unspoilt with different rooms and a snug still in place. Real fires and Great ales. The sorry if pub you want to settle down in and not move all evening. View all feedback.
