| Very disappointed I think this pub has lost that loving feeling in 12 months, bar staff more interested in themselves beer most expensive in area, ale ok but other pubs within half mile better,it needs a good clean, shame! 3stepstoheaven - 27 Apr 2011 09:46 |
| This is a massive old fashioned pub which had a range of Real Ales on, mainly Everard's, which was no bad thing. I don't think I've ever had Everard's before and all three pints were really tasty. Loved them. We ate a spot of lunch, I had the Ploughman's and the wife had the Club Sandwich. Utterly delicious! And big portions. It was a bit quiet when we went in, but it was 3:00 on a Tuesday after a Bank Holiday. The staff were friendly. I would only say that the place could do with a thorough dusting. It was clean, but dusty. We really liked the place and would return! generalstaal - 27 May 2009 12:27 |

| This is a massive pub, and very busy. But it's divided in to lots of smaller areas, so it actually feels quite cosy. There's a smallish dinig area out the back, so if you're thinking of eating you're better off booking. The menu is predominantly filipino, with all staters and about two thirds of the mains being this genre. If you don't fancy that there's also a few more traditional pub meals such as lasagne, sausage & mash, fish & chips, etc. We had the filipino options though, and enjoyed it. We were both really pleased with all three of our courses which is unusual, and it was quite reasonably priced. Unlike some of the previous contributors we found the service to be quick, friendly and efficient in spite of all the tables being full including a couple of very big parties. They were three real ales on tap, including Sly Fox "with a cunning hint of ginger" which was unusual but not unpleasant! They also had Strongbow and Bulmers cider. Blackthorn - 20 Apr 2009 09:40 |
| Great beer and food, let down by absolutely abysmal service! Darkrider - 26 Nov 2008 19:01 |
