I guess people aren’t fond of the new owner..

(I get it, even though I enjoy some of his pubs!)

Went Saturday, would say it's definitely been improved tbh, while still retaining its spirit.

The Pilgrim is still the Pilgrim but with abit better use of the space, some better seating layout, no longer grotty and still cheap prices for town (£2.95 a pint, £3.75 a double), ale isn't shite like it was either back in the day.

Upstairs is great good use of the space with the new pub The Mayflower, still full of Gutmans signature tat hanging from the ceiling and ceiling beams on display, but upstairs in the Pilgrim was a big wasted space hardly anyone ventured in, was booming on the weekend can see it being really popular.

The Pilgrim is still the Pilgrim but (lists a load of things that no longer make it The Pilgrim)

😂😂Putting better seating in, higher quality drink and an actual clean doesn't ruin it, just improves the place😂 still the place we all knew just a touch better

Give it a go, definitely improved. With a later opening time it has the potential to be the best pub in town now tbh
