We really really enjoyed the mexican food which was fresh, tasty and done to a high standard. Good efficient, friendly service and good atmosphere. (although when we first entered we almost left staight away as there was a large party standing around at the bar which would have put us off sitting down to eat - fortunately they all moved to the back).

Will definitely be going back.

Noooo! Called in earlier this week and learned that the dim sum chef will be retiring at the end of April. The food was a real reason for visiting there. Signs posted around the pub say that they'll be introducing a new menu in the near future, but it will be hard to match their current standard.

A couple of interesting real ales, although the bottled beer selection is not as extensive as I remember from previous visits.

Nice bar, very friendly staff, red stripe on tap cheap bar prices, nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Ver quiet midweek, only 1 real ale on but OK - probably need to eat to get the feel.

I thought this "pub" was OK. They had Caledonian's 6 Nations; Mauldon's Black Adder; and Moles Breweries Rucking Mole on. Unfortunately only had time for one pint of Rucking Mole, which was excellent. It was a new barrell, and was pleased to see that the friendly barmaid took the time and trouble to pull it through properly. I know that is what should always happen, but it doesn't always.

Not sure about the solid wood furniture - it looks fine, but personally I prefer something a bit more comfortable. But, as a previous reviewer said, it is tastefully unique, and in any case the quality of the beer more than makes up for any negative points.
