| Good sunday roast. Fair selection of ale. The waitresses could do with taking smiling lessons. Tad overpriced. valtojos - 12 Sep 2011 01:00 |
| I was shocked to hear how rough this gets in the evening and find it hard to believe. Having said that, I've only been here a few times for lunch - and thoroughly enjoy it. The beer is reasonable if a little pricey, and the food (short but delicious menu) is very good indeed. They serve some of the nicest fish and chips around! It isn't cheap, but the mix of locals and business types at lunchtimes attests for its popularity. nroskilly - 29 Nov 2009 19:32 |
| The problem with a nice Market town like SW is the quality of pubs does not always reflect the same atmosphere and the OEG is a fine looking pub from the outside but there is a certain clientale who want a fight at the week-end.. day time its fine but night time forget it. hogshead - 27 Aug 2009 11:36 |
| I used to like going here, and did so regularly. Then, when the White Horse and the 'Lizzie' closed, the clientele at the OEG did as well. I once spent New Years eve in this pub and was amongst friends, warm and friendly bar staff and a good time was had by all (cliche but true). And then it started to get a bit, um, nasty. The last time I went a large pissed up thug came in, grabbed a guy at the next table by the throat and started to throttle him. I haven't been back, neither have most of my friends, or various groups of business colleagues who once stopped off in the OEG for a pint. Shame. quercus - 20 Feb 2009 19:59 |
| This pub looks nice, but once you get inside, you realise that the beer tastes genuinely awful - I don't know what they do to it - everything is over £3 a pint, and the staff are always completely sullen. It really should be a nice pub but the poor overprice product and miserable, nay irritable staff makes it definitely one to miss. Sadly the wetherspoons in town is infinitely more fun.
