Review from tantallon.org.uk:

Morrells Bitter Ł1.68 Strongbow Cider Ł1.96 (2.xii.97) Florence Park Road looks surprisingly like a wider version of Morrell Avenue, and is a good deal more upmarket than I would have suspected for this part of town. The Jolly Postboys is more or less in keeping with this. It's a distorted L-shape, with a small carpeted lounge bar at the northern end, with pot plants and a gas fire, and a much bigger tiled saloon bar with a huge pool table. Both bits have a red artexed ceiling on them. As far as drinks go, the range is rather limited - consisting of just Morrells Bitter and Smooth, plus one or two other bitters on keg and I think three lagers. They do Guinness and Murphy's Stouts, but didn't have a working price list. One odd and rather unreconstructed feature of this pub is that it has two Gents's and only one Ladies (this is in the lounge bar, whereas there is a Gents at each end of the saloon), rather than the more usual other way about. (3.xii.97)
