| Typical chain pub with standard chain pub food. Nothing wrong with it, but really better suited to a family with children. Very popular for Sunday lunch - get in early! villageidoit - 26 Mar 2009 10:11 |
| I am beginning to wonder if I qualify to write for “Beer in the Evening”, as all my reviews so far relate to midday visits! Anyway, my assessment is along the lines of the other recent contributors; pleasant atmosphere, the AK well worth drinking and at the correct temperature, and a wide selection of food on the menu appropriately priced, efficiently and speedily served, and pleasant to eat. We went in sharp on midday, which I assume would help with the latter. The place was full by 1.15pm on Sunday with families, and the car park overflowing. I’d definitely go back if in the area. Happily I didn't see the McDonald's to which Greshon referred (10 Feb 2008)- perhaps it has got indigestion and gone? pubsampler - 8 Mar 2009 14:31 |
| Nice enough building but real ales of any quality note were not in evidence. A good enough selection of other drinks and the staff were friendly and efficient. The place had a bit of a "hotel lobby" type atmosphere but it was fairly quiet so might be better when busier. I amagine the garden in Summer is pretty good too - it's massive, pretty and seems well looked-after. I don't give ratings by food (beer website an' all) but I ate here too and wasn't that impressed. Standard stodge really. arctral - 21 Jan 2009 17:10 |
| Well the place could not have been too bad, we went back. The AK is still at the right temperature, and is still kept very well. The food and service is also still very good, in spite of all the tables being occupied. Also with a couple of large Office Christmas groups. A pub well worth taking a look at. Being relatively local, we will probably be back again. Phantom_Pigeon - 22 Dec 2008 11:51 |
| The place has just re-opened after a refurbishment, and jolly nice it looks, too. The ceilings have been painted white, which, with the lighting, has made it a bit too bright for my liking. It is still a McMullens pub serving good food. The AK is kept well and served at about the right temperature. They give "small portion" options for most of the menu, which is good. But after seeing the full sized piece of soggy battered fish, I can only imagine that the small portion is a glorified fish finger. Phantom_Pigeon - 20 Oct 2008 13:09 |
