| My first visit was two months ago. The food was excellent - ham hock - the Harvestoun 'Bitter and Twisted' was superb. The next two visits I had to send the ale back - it was oxidised i.e vinegar! I was not impressed when after this the very pleasant barmaid did not turn the lable around as this pint was way over its sell by... Today it was fine. They are trying hard and its around the corner from work so i'll go back. Alot of people go in at lunch time for a chat or to read a paper so please turn the music off!! I don't need Crap FM on in everyspeaker in every corner. I just wish they would understand their market. A few more tweeks and it could be better. realrealaleman - 15 Jul 2008 20:03 |
| It is truly amazing to have seen the change in this pub. Once a frightening, graffiti ridden hell-hole, it is now a charming and cosy establishment with kronenbourg which could flow from the gods themselves. I hear that some of the old regulars from the dark-ages of this pub's history had somewhat damaged the pool table, so it has been removed (also in order to fit the brand new carpet as part of their huge refurbishment) although rumour has it that a new one is on its way- in the mean time there are three new plasma tvs strategically placed around the interior so as to maximise the sport watching possibilities. Now a friendly and charming drinking hole- thank god the old pig and the majority of their customers are long gone. We can feel free to drink in safety and comfort! barwench - 13 May 2008 16:07 |
| What have you done?! Shouldn't have got rid of the pool table, this pub never has been or never will be as good as any other pub in Sheen. Keep it simple. It's all well and good trying to appeal to new customers, but don't forget about your existing ones. It pains me to say that this pub is worse than it was before the new management.

| I agree with Sheenboy, ignore any comments pre July 2007. Since the arrival of the new management the beer is well maintained, the food, good wholesome pub grub and many of the prats have either found somewhere else or have been told to behave and are now doing so. Give it another try. Montrachet - 28 Nov 2007 15:36 |
| These comments are fair enough for last year and before that, but as of July new management came into place. At first it was a struggle to get rid of some the prats that used to mess around in there, but now as the months have progressed so has the pub. It is my local and although there may be a few idiots trying to cause a bit of trouble overall it has come on leaps and bounds. I just want to thank Debbie the new manageress, the new owner and all of the bar staff for helping this pub claw back some respect. Hopefully soon it will be right up there with The Plough and the Hare and Hounds. So please... give it another chance. Sheenboy - 31 Oct 2007 14:44 |
