The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere fantastic and they put on one hell of a show. My friends and I love the drag show. Will definitely be returning

the queen performing were absolutely incredible, but unfortunately the place had extremely unwelcoming staff, insane prices and an owner with an ego bigger than kanye west’s. Not awful if you catch the guy when he’s not in a foul mood, but anywhere else in the village is better, I wouldn’t take the chance on it.

Recently refurbished with a bright, cheerful decor, The Goose is a new favourite of ours for a fun outing or for just chilling. With frequent cabaret shows and special events, there's always something going on to pique the interest, and with friendly and efficient staff, we are always reluctant to leave. We love it here - highly recommended.

The venue has reinvented itself and quickly become a fixture of the gay village. I remember it fondly as Paddy’s Goose, but with a totally different clientele.It is now inviting to all, whether for weekend fun or a quiet drink on a week night after work; in summer, I love to sit on the stools by the open frontage and watch the world go by over a pint. Not tried any food yet

Came for the pub quiz, they didn't have a table reserved for us even though we made a booking so they made room for us under the TV but it wasn't ideal. Pub quiz was very busy and a good atmosphere.
