| Checked out this pub after it was recommended in the Good Beer Guide. Looks like it's been recently refurbished with perhaps making it more "family friendly". There were three ales on offer of which I opted for the Island Brewery which was quite nicely kept. Food is served all day but doesn't include your usual pie & mash fayre but I tried the chef's pasta which was quite nice. Staff were friendly and the service was good. There's a pool table inside and a patio area outside for al fresco eating and drinking. IMHO it's worth a visit if ever you're waitng for the ferry. 8/10. wezmiester - 26 Sep 2011 21:39 |
| This is a restaurant which sells beer. Not very pub-like at all. Beer seems to be a secondary thought. southfields - 27 Jul 2011 18:03 |
| Seems to be trying to be some kind of american diner type place proudly advertising their 'fat joe' (or something like that) burgers etc. Do yourself a favour and go to the Kings Head instead... peteward - 31 Oct 2010 15:46 |
| We visited this pub and found it to be a wonderful place for both interesting beer choice, a great meal, and an all round good evening out. We were a bit worried by previous comments, and can only say that you really should visit and see for yourselves. Obviously, if you want an old traditional pub stuck in a time warp of 'olde worlde' polished brass, spit and sawdust complete with flat warm beer, you are going to be disappointed! Whoever transformed the place understands the way to blend old and new, offering plenty of seating and a clutter free space to enjoy a good pint! The local Fuggle went down a treat, and the London Pride was crystal clear, served with a smile. They have a good wine selection, and the usual brow lifting on our request for a simple glass of water was met with the offer of lemon, lime and ice without hesitation! (Quite a refreshing change.) The 'Noodle Prawn Dish of the Day' was beautifully presented, perfectly spiced and certainly good value. Our steaks were generous on the meat, and we have finally found a chef who actually knows what Medium Rare is, whilst the choice of Well Done arrived as requested, but without being burnt to a cinder! Too full to enjoy the sweet menu, we did notice some rather beautiful looking puddings passing by, so plan to go back in the very near future and skip the starters. All in all, a good place to go for a 'beer in the evening' or a full blown party night out! Forgot to mention - in this place, you can actually feed your children proper food if you prefer, - nice alternative to offer at sensible prices! oldwindsorian - 10 Aug 2010 10:13 |
| Not very welcoming inside - very canteen like inside with food, although nice and reasonably priced, was not well presented. Great selection of beers though with Fuggle-me-do being the star with friendly and accommodating, if a little brow beaten, staff. However it is the only pub in Yarmouth with a TV for sports which is OK as long as no-one is playing pool then it's an issue for anyone that wants to get in the pub as they need to squeeze past them first. They also seem keen on getting you through quickly once you've eaten. We stood our ground and continued to watch the rest of the Grand Prix - go on, Button!!! daz2 - 29 Jul 2010 22:52 |
