| I love this pub for its oldie-worldly ambience, interesting clientel and friendly staff. Can really relax with a drink here. But the food - oh dear! I have had to send back my last three meals. One haggis contained sharp bits of bone that broke my tooth; one goose dish turned out to be a scrawny neck of a goose in one long piece - so tough I could not cut it. My wife's stuffed pepper was swimming in so much balsamic vinegar that she nearly choked. Last week four of us ate; the pork dish was mashed pork and stuffing (looked to me like Sunday lunch leftovers) with plain mashed potato. It was so dry that, although my companion managed to struggle through it, I could not. The ladies had the chicken dish which turned out to be a piece of roast chicken on plain mashed potatoes - no discernable sauce and no vegetables. Average price of these very basic dishes about £12! To add insult to injury they charged a compulsory 10% service. Advice: go for the lovely old pub and good beers: ignore the menu and order a bag of crisps followed by something from the excellent pudding menu. davystokes - 18 Oct 2010 10:59 |
| Been a few times. Food is always very good. Good beer (Tribute, Bombardier and a couple of Young's) although have had better Tribute. However today had first bad experience there, waited about an hour and a half for our main courses which was totally unaccpetable. We were offered a free round of drinks to make up for this. The waiter appeared spaced out and totally off the ball most of the time which was also poor. The food was great when it turned up, Lamb Shank was very good in particular but the wait was ridiculous and we refused to pay the 10% surcharge. charliew - 11 Oct 2009 22:42 |
| As the last reviewer mentioned this is a great half-way stop on a drive between London and Devon. I've been here a few times now and always found it to be good. The food is tasty, the ales are fine and there's a great wine list and selection of whiskeys. The service can be a little slow when it's busy but I've always found the staff friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere and the open fires in winter are a real treat. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. stinkykiwi - 5 May 2009 14:12 |
| I visited here as it was midway between London and Devon in order to meet my sister for Sunday lunch. It was her choice and after seeing previous comments I was slightly worried. However on arrival the staff were very friendly and this remained the case throughout the visit. They were polite, helpful and the service was excellent. The food was served quickly and was very tasty, between the table we had soup, both cuts of beef and pork. The Yorkshires certainly looked homemade. The bill was £25 ahead, for 2 courses and wine. We will certainly be using this pub again as our midway point and can only assume perhaps it has changed hands or they took notice of peoples comments. Enny - 28 Feb 2009 22:25 |
| A pub trying to be all things to all men and therefore not doing any of them particularly well. I was delighted to see Youngs Winter Warmer, but disappointed that it was well past its best. The food was overpriced, made worse by a "compulsory" 10% service charge. I had roast beef which was inedible, while the puds bore a remarkable resemblance to M&S's. Service was slow and impersonal. Next time I'll eat in The Angel. ETA - 22 Dec 2008 09:26 |
