| Great pub. Normally very welcoming. The usual barmaids Gilly and Ellen are great - really friendly anhey have the fat hd concientious. The 3 bean chilli is fantastic. Probably best to avoid the fish and chips - falls apart - not sure they have the fat hot enpough or something. I still order it occasionally but usually regret it. Anyway - the reason I'm posting is the other two barmaids are miseries. I think its the skinny one with big tits thats the problem she seems particularly unpleasnt. Despite the nice shape. They sepns alll their time huddled in a corner discussing their wedding plans - clearly earing their wages well - and if you try and say "hello how are you" then they look at you like you are a bit weird. Its not a pleasant experience. I actually watched them burst into a titters of a giggles (first time I ever saw them look cheerful) at a scottish guys accent tonight. He wasx mortified - had no clue what was so funny and they were acting like 7 year olds - giggling to each other like he was blind or something. Not good - I would have sacked them on the spot. fire101 - 24 Jan 2012 23:23 |
| This place is not a pub, it's a playground/creche. Went in here Monday lunchtime and was immediately assailed by the sound of a crying tot in a high chair. We distanced ourselves from that as far as we could but this was unfortunately by the fruit machine which was promptly infested with 4 very noisy young children while the Landlord stood by grinning amiably and the fathers propped up the bar. The crying tot persisted but because of the 4 unsupervised children we tried to tuck ourselves into another corner to obtain a bit of sanity. It was not to be as the tot cried endlessly. We tried to plot an escape to the Bexley but they weren't doing food (no wonder pubs are going down the pan) so we stayed put in the hope that the apparently well to do parents would actually behave responsibly. Some of them did and removed their fractious progenies. Not the ones with the crying child though. They were determined to make everyone's lunchtime a misery by remaining and they achieved that. The child cried for over an hour and thoroughly spoilt the visit. Lazy parents fault of course. I said before that the Landlord is laid back. Actually he's comotose. One of his barmaids turned the music up to drown the noise and she laughed about it. What it really needed was for someone to actually take action but the Landlord was too busy grinning gormlessly and doing nothing. The food and the beer was good but like the nearby Mitre and Bexley this place is on the way out. Pubs are not appropriate places for children and selfish parents should be excluded. Never again. lyeemoon - 7 Jan 2011 21:08 |
| Seemed an ok Fullers pub. Discovery, Pride, ESB and Bengal Lancer. Plenty of non Fullers pump clips above the bar so you might be lucky and find a guest. Maybe more of an eating pub. GuideDogSaint - 21 Nov 2010 16:54 |
| Pub undergoing a redecorating phase. Good riddance to that chocolate colour wall. Still some of the best beer in Windsor and very good food. Try the steak! richardh - 28 Sep 2010 18:46 |
| Somebody said it, it's not really a drinkers' pub. I had one of the best, and cheapest, rump steaks I've ever had there though and the Pride was acceptable. It would seem that the Landlord is very laid back and the place is ideal for out of control kids and the usual array of scruffy slobs in beach shorts, dirty tee shirts and flip flops. lyeemoon - 17 Jul 2010 16:59 |
