| Would be the best pub around in any normal situation, but with the nearby Bel & Dragon even this excellent establishment must take second place. Greshon - 29 Aug 2008 14:15 |
| Just moved to the area. Went for Sunday lunch. Nice on the outside but a bit Argos meets Footballers Wives inside. Wines were quite good and usual modern selection of beers. Soup was good and seemed home made. Sunday roast was average with soggy veg. Seemed quite busy , mainly with families and couples. Not sure who the place is aimed at. Distinctly OK. garbus - 12 Jun 2008 16:16 |
| Called in late on for our last drink of the night after a less than pleasant beer experience in the Bel & Dragon. Their make-over has modernised the place, but not for the better. Glass front doors, scant sign of real ale, less than comfortable furniture. Is it a bistro..? Is it wine bar..? Is it a restaurant..? What it's not is a pub..! For the detail, see previous posting..! Won't be rushing back..! Glenco - 27 May 2008 13:30 |
| Where is the modern pub going? Went to see the new version and i got depressed... is this the future of Britain's pubs? We tried the front door it was locked. After a while of pushing the glass we saw a sign to go round the side entrance. It was Friday night and busy. There was only one ale pump... but they had none available. These corporate pubs (M&B plc) have no care towards the customers - understaffed and mechanical service. The menu is based on supermarket take home meals assembled in the kitchen and decorated to template for people who do not want to cook at home and do not care what they eat. They are turning our traditional pubs into something of medium 'that will do' quality for unaware punters. This is the Americanisation of our pub heritage. Pubs like this chain are diluting pub goers’ expectations of what was good about pubs. Like the supermarkets have killed off high street local food shops, these will do the same for traditional pubs. Why can't they put real food and drink back into these pubs? - A French eating model - brasserie. Does it always have to be the nice American plastic version? Only one ale pump fitted in the bar suggests M&B plc have given up on real ale, is this because there are no skills amongst their organisation? Is it simply too costly in staff time to look after it? Or will there be too much waste if you do not know how to serve it? No more ale in pubs?! They are making mediocre motorway restaurants placed in the shell of pub buildings. Are we being conned by corporate designers into losing our locals and our heritage? Will authentic pubs be a thing of the past? Perhaps in 10 years time corporate salary person will come up with the idea to convert these modern 'pubs' back into traditional pub concept that sells craft made real ale.

| Reecently had a HALF MILLION Pound upgrade, and it shows. Excellent, friendly staff, lovely food, not too pricey, and a great family atmosphere. Went there last Sunday for Mother's day with the family, and was very impressed. nikp - 19 Mar 2007 19:46 |
