| A new Young's pub; I looked forward to visiting it last Sunday. Full range of Young's Ales? No... No Special at all, not a single Young's bottled ale. Ordinary, Bombadier and Waggledance on tap. I tried the ordinary; so bad I had to take it back. The food was okay, but I don't understand how Young's can promote this as a Young's pub when it is so sorely lacking in what makes their pubs so good. Si31 - 8 Jul 2008 21:13 |
| What used to be the Bushranger has been acquired by Young's, tarted up per its standard new "gastropub" look, and (oddly) renamed the Stinging Nettle. Like all of these Young's makeovers, it left me a bit cold: very deliberate attempt to make it look trendy and appeal to a hip young crowd, which never quite works. Full range of Young's ale available (good); friendly service (good); bog standard pub food at gastropub prices (bad). More generally the pub was too narrow for the large numbers of customers, at least on pub quiz night. grecian - 3 Jul 2008 12:18 |
| This Pub has been refurbished and is now excellent.. It is now called the Stinging Nettle. It does not have T V screens for Football etc anymore but does invite people to hire the Wii machine upstairs. Quiz night on Wednesday nights at 8:30 very good and generally a lovely atmosphere... forget what it was before and forget the previous comments reference the decor.. A great job done by Youngs but do note that the if your going for posh lager and not the cooking variety you will pay for it... Deuchers ipa lovely!! Phileasphil - 16 May 2008 16:33 |
| Went to this pub in March 2007 before QPR V WBA. Poncy interior, or should I say 'minmilist'. Seemed like a place with an identity crisis. Beer overpriced and not too special. wbafc_beer - 7 Jan 2008 23:30 |
| Completely in agreement with the comments on here - not a patch on what it was pre-refurb but that's not necessarily to say it's a bad pub it just seems to have changed the clientele it's after from your average Joe Drinker and the more genteel element of the football crowd to the Beeb's meeja brigade. Dunno if Frank is still running it but it appears to have become a sister pub to the Old Ship in Hammersmith (same food menu in any case). The beer is OK but slightly on the pricey side, likewise the food. There's a decent vibe weekend nights when it's warm as a DJ pitches up on the roof terrace and I think they serve until 1am so that's all good. The only slight drawback is the place has lost the "edge" it had before - walking into the BushRanger pre-refurb felt like walking into a proper pub. Now you feel a bit like you're walking into Kelly Hoppen's living room. Depends what you're after I suppose. random_ranger - 1 Jul 2007 00:03 |
