| Went to Linslade this weekend, specifically for my sister's Golden Wedding Anniversary, but as the trip was something of a "Down Memory Lane" visit, we decided to visit the Globe for a meal on the Friday night. Needless to say, everything in the area had changed so much. Gone was the old dirt track leading down to the canal and the pub, the quay well renovated with plenty of mooring facilities and a decent size car park. It is nearly 50 years since I last visited the place, so what did I expect? On arrival the first impression what very heartening. The car park was about 60% full. Always a good sign. I had booked a table for 6 and on approaching the bar to order the first round of drinks, I was asked if I had booked a table and when I relied that I had and gave my name I was immediately informed that the table was ready. We left our drinks order at the bar and these were brought to the table very promptly. So far, all very impressive. Since my last visit to the Globe, much of the old living quarters behind the bar area had been opened up to create a fairly large restaurant area. One criticism is the space between some of the tables. It would be awkward, if not annoying, to both the guests at one's own table and those occupying an adjacent table to leave for the toilets or 'a quick fag'. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming and presented each one of us with a menu and placed a small menu board on the table with list a list of additional items. When the food arrived, without much delay, it was hot, well presented, and delicious. Four of us, of the six present, all love cooking, and although we are not "chef's de cuisine", we are by nature, very selective and critical. We could not fault the dishes served up of this occasion. Both the wine and ales were chilled to perfection. The pub was hosting two guest ales, and these apparently, are changed on a regular basis. There are sometimes more than two guest ales but never less than two. Our selection of food consisted of Soup of the Day (parsnip), Mushroom with Garlic, Prawn Salad for the starters, and Gammon, Chicken and Roasted Mushroom Pie, Rump Steak, and Mushroom Rigatoni Paste for the main courses. The bill averaged out at £16 per head. For the first class hospitality, and excellent food, I considered this to be a very reasonable price. We did learn that the previous chef was replaced by the present incumbent as the reputation of the pub, and it's business, hit rock bottom. This could account for some the rather negative reviews posted earlier. We're just thankful that my sister's wedding anniversary wasn't five years ago! I would heartily recommend with venue with it's present staff, location, and although limited but well balanced menu, to anyone. Tetoteller - 27 Nov 2011 15:57 |

| Four of us went to this pub for my birthday celebration, I had booked a table. As soon as we arrived somebody came to greet us, we were then shown to our table. We were then offered drinks, when they arrived a very helpful waiter came and gave us menus and showed us the other selections on the board. The service was very good, much jovial banter between us and the staff. There was a good choice of food. The lasagne I had was lovely, the steak was big and tender. The cod and chips went down very well, also the gammon steak with fried egg. The puds were well received, I had the cheese board with onion chutney, it was absolutely delicious. Would we go again? most definitely, I would hightly recomend it. marval - 31 May 2010 11:19 |
| Nice pub, nice location, friendly staff, at least on the days we go, not sure what the other reviewers mean. Pretty good selection of beers too, food's fairly nice. Only criticism is the toilets are up some narrow, steep stairs. pjw - 30 Nov 2009 17:07 |
