| This place is a bit of Gem. Really nice interior and exterior, with a good juke box and drink selection. Food has also been good in my experience, although they could do with a better fan or something to combat the smoke from the open kitchen. jjamjj - 4 Jan 2011 18:15 |
| Hadn't been in this place since it was the Grafton Arms, many moons ago. It's a nice comfortable pub now, don't know about the food as I didn't try it, but looked and smelled good. Beer, I tried Butcombe Bitter and Fullers Red Fox, were both really good. Staff were very quick and friendly and there was a nice mixed crowd in for a Friday night with a laid back atmosphere. I'll happily visit again. Alfnoax - 16 Oct 2010 12:01 |

| Quite a nice pub on a residential street, with a nice traditional feel (although I thought it was perhaps a little dark on one or two of my recent visits). Some nice local area history things on the wall, and indeed a stuffed otter. Nice real ale and a good jukebox. The food is your (now) fairly typical gastro-type fair, and it looked perhaps a tad on the expensive side, although I haven't actually sampled it. Atmosphere is fairly lively with a mixture of ages, although predominately a younger crowd. It's worth a visit, and I can see myself returning fairly often. jacobross1 - 14 Feb 2010 20:27 |
| I like this pub very much. It's a short bus ride away and I try to get down there a fair bit. The food is very good and fairly priced for higher-end pub fare, the good variety of beer is well-kept and served by friendly and often knowledgable staff. London Pride and Butcombe is always on the It's great to have a pub in the area that actually gives a sh*t about what they are serving. Cosy, good atmosphere even when not busy, ok jukebox and great taxidermy otter. I bring out-of-town friends here when they visit, and they have all approved. shand83 - 1 Feb 2010 11:25 |
