| It is a shame, that the far superior, pre-hall and woehouse, THE GRAPES, was neglected and demolished by owners; was real pub, Black Swan, is not a local or a real pub, is a business model to sell food, with irritating piped music, constantly on, as a bonus, The bar service was polite and efficient, but the h and w refusal to allow choice of real ale, other than their own brands, is very backward and shortsighted. quafferman - 26 Oct 2011 16:18 |
| Previously the James King, but I'm old enough to remember its original guise as the Black Swan. That was the roughest spit-and-sawdust place imaginable, I was served with a bottle of brown ale which the landlord picked off the shelf and blew an inch-thick layer of dust off ! We had some nice meals there when it first became the James King, and I would imagine that that would be more of the standard now. But it was still difficult to break the old habit of wiping my feet on the way out ! tommo5 - 5 Aug 2011 21:49 |
| A terrible place to eat! The food is almost certainly microwaved & tasted extremely bland. The staff are rude & very arrogant & the atmosphere in general is like one would expect within Hades! Never again will I set foot in such a place. Awful! foodster - 5 Aug 2010 11:10 |
| Friday lunchtime visit, not busy, ordered two chedder ploughmans. when they came they looked more like a poor salad with thin slices of tasteless cheese. no sweet pickle or chutney as included in the menu. Had to request these separately. Puddings were disappointing, looked better than they tasted. However quick service, and clean. overall, disappointing visit - had been once before and meal had been better. knocker874 - 11 Jun 2010 21:17 |
| OK for an odd visit;beer kept well, but awful hall and woodhouse bitter, pub cant help this; the main critiZscism, regarding intrusive, dreadful so-called soul music / modern soul has none - constantly playing, sometimes loudly, i think mainly to help the staff get through the shifts; very wearing and annoying for discerning customers. quafferman - 16 May 2010 13:53 |
