Good for a Sunday Roast - I rather enjoy visiting the Blithe Spirit, unlike the previous reviewer. Sorry, but if I ran a pub and you just waltzed in and plugged in a laptop without asking, I'd do exactly the same as that barman did. It's common manners to ask before using something that belongs to someone else.
Does a good pint of Guinness, and has a choice of roasts on a Sunday. An ideal place to relax either with the papers or a book, or in the company of others.
Has a sun terrace area at the back, if you're into that sort of thing during the Summer months.

MEAN SPIRIT - A friend and I had gone for a Sunday roast at the blithe spirit. I used to go there a lot but I think it's changed management at some point. After my experience nothing would get me back in there. We had some work to do so had taken a laptop. We plugged it in near to our table, thinking nothing of it.
After our meal as I was about to order some more drinks, some pompous, pedantic fat-headed barman felt he needed to try to humiliate me in front of other customers by aggressively announcing that "it would have been courteous and polite if you'd asked permission before plugging in your laptop. It costs us money, you know" . He didn't even ask to make sure that he was speaking to the right person.
I would have thought that paying around £30 for a meal and drinks would have made it worth his while to overlook the .001p it probably cost for half an hour's electricity. But he clearly he did not. I decided I wouldn't finish my drinks order and left. I'll never return there, it was so unnecessary and confrontational and left me feeling insulted for the rest of the afternoon.
Asides from the petty assertion of his male pride, the meal was insipid and the coffee lukewarm.
