Awful service. Booked a table for 12 for a special occasion for 7.30pm - had to ask for service at 8.15 and meals turned up past 9.30. Wholly inadequate number of staff, poor management. Patrons on the tables also complaining bitterly. Terrible experience - won't ever go back.

Poor service. Long wait for food. So long we walked out hungry. 'Choice' of real ales consists of 1 beer...which doesn't appear to be kept very well. We will not be going back.

Worst restaurant experience ever! Avoid!! Terrible service, really lacks any managerial presence we didnt seem to have a waitor and we didnt see anyone all night sitting on the balcony apart from when our food came. Such slow service and really unejoyable.
Recently went for a meal with a group of friends. We were a table of six, me and my partner were late and when arrived a young waitress told us to go and see if we could find our friends! Was not served at the table although my friend told me it had recently changed to table service. We ordered at the bar and were not told a wait as the same with the other tables who we spoke to around us! We then waited half an hour for our starter and then had to go to the bar to ask someone to clear our plates we'd been sat waiting so long! The another 45 minutes for main. Dranks took a long time to arrive and wine came without any glasses so we went onto wait a further 10 minutes. Food overall wasnt a very high standard and as a chain its ridicously over priced as the thai prawn curry clearly tasted like a boil in the bag curry! A young dark haired woman seemed to be in charge but i rarely saw her around. We asked to speak to her as we'd been up many times to speak to a waitress about having such terrible service who was quite helpful to our faces but still nothing seemed to be done. When asking to speak to her the reply we got was she heard you've had a few problems and we'll take the food off your bill, we said we'd still like to talk to someone about the problems encountered and we were told she was busy and we could have free desserts as well! At quarter passed eleven, we declined and paid our bill minus the food and left!
Such a shame because this pub used to be lovely but has declined dramatically with the new ownership! We shall not be returning again, just be cautious if you do attempt and dont sit on the balcony area because you'll not recieve any sort of service!

Warning!!!!!
This place is now selling Kronenburg through the 'Staropramen' tap. These punks are taking the piss, DO NOT buy your beer in here. (If you want good Staropramen go down Bulls Head in Meriden)

This is a fantastic traditional pub with good service from friendly staff, and serving tasty food in a good atmosphere.
Not designed for children, but isn't it nice to go somewhere where they're not tearing around recklessly sometimes?
I go with my friends on a Friday lunchtime, what a treat.

was once a magnificent pub but this place is a chef and brewer or some similar shitty chain now. beer is bad, rarely see a theakston's in here anymore, most probably you'll come across a 6X. just dont bother coming in if its a drink you want.
|
Never had a bad pint of real ale in here. Cliental are a bit snobbish but my money's the same colour as their's....(Oh I do enjoy popping in when my armpits are full of sweat after a walk!!!) Not tried the food here but it looks good and, checking the menu, appears to be good value.
|
The food used to be excellent, but on the last two visits it has been dire. Not exactly cheap either!
|
Its ok, recently the foods gone off a bit. still nice in the summer(if you can avoid the wasps) great location for trysts

Great Food but a bit snooty
