| Popped in by accident on a saturday night - as got lost looking for another pub. Looks good from the outside, looked good on the inside. Nice collection of clientele, nice selection of beverages including organic cider and perry in the fridge. Didn't eat but did wonder which prize the pork pie and picallilli had actuall won. This to me gave the impression of a pub I would like as my local, laid back, clean and comfortable mrsdonkers - 13 Dec 2009 21:08 |
| This pub turned out to be better than I expected. The only ales on were GKIPA and Abbot unfortunately, but I nevertheless quite enjoyed my visit. Like other pubs in the immediate vicinity, it has intentionally moved upmarket. It’s bare-boarded, with the usual solid wood tables, but comfortable nonetheless. There was some laid back blues being played during my late lunchtime/early afternoon visit, making a very welcome change from the usual banal pop music. The service was friendly enough. It still retains some of the vestiges of its Victorian, or perhaps Edwardian, heritage. There was what looked like some old etched glasswork in a panel by the door; an iron (?) pillar in front of the bar; some original looking roses round the chandeliers plus decorated cornices. The leaded light windows look the real deal as a well. Like other posters before me, I would say that the food doesn’t appear cheap, but as I didn’t eat there I can’t comment on the quality and therefore can’t say if it is good value or not. I think I’m in the same camp as Planner_21 – I quite like it, but would welcome a better choice of ales. But you either like GK ales or you don’t. For me, in this case it’s the lack of decent ale choice that puts this pub in the “OK” category, rather than the “good” category. RexRattus - 25 Oct 2009 16:48 |
| I guess I'm in the 'like' category for this one. There's a relaxed feeling to the place. I'd like it even more if (a) the beer selection was better and (b) the lighting was less harsh. Saying that, I've never eaten in here - it was always above what I'd happily pay in a pub, even if prices have remained roughtly same while othes have caught up in the last three or four years.

| It's interesting to read the conflicting reviews here. I cannot understand how anyone can have a good word to say about this place. It's dreadful. The garden is nice, but that is the only positive thing I can muster about this place. The food and service is terrible - the staff are always rude and slow and I can cook better myself (which is really saying something) the interior is also pretty offensive which wouldn't ordinarily bother me - but I don't mind mentioning it in this case as the pub is so completely rubbish. For others to have had such a good experience really completely baffles me. I can't help but wonder if the landlord has been spending some time writing glowing reviews... Skip this place and head for The Engineer or The Queens. Much nicer. And you might see Sacha Baron Cohen in there too. boozehound25 - 30 Jul 2009 16:27 |
| I really like this pub. I had dinner tonight and the seabream was great. The garden was fantastic and the staff were really friendly. Will def come back, if nothing else to see the landlords cute dog! kimberly1981 - 3 Jul 2009 22:01 |
