| I visited the Ostrich for the first time last weekend and therefore cannot compare to what it was like before the refurbishment. The food was excellent, with great attention to detail and very generous portions. The menu had something to offer for everyone and the staff had a good understanding of the dishes and were helpful in recommending accordingly. The place has a light airy feel for a building so steeped in history and the open fire and faint smell of wood-smoke help create a country atmosphere. I would definitely go again.

| I have no idea why all any negative comments are being made about this fantastic place. I loved it and had a great evening. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was superb and the experience was well worth the drive up from London. Hurray for the refurb, that's what I say! juliem76 - 7 Mar 2007 11:59 |
| I have been to the Ostrich before and after the refurb and to be honest it's a country mile better now. The food is great and so are the atmosphere and staff. It's a great place to eat whereas before it was fine for a quick pint but that was it. The only downside so far has been there's so many brilliant things to choose from! At least that's a perfect excuse to keep going back. mikemcgrath21 - 7 Mar 2007 11:48 |
| Always had a soft spot for The Ostrich. Use it extensively for "corporate". The yanks just love it. Beer always well kept. Bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Extensive and imaginative menu, always well cooked and presented. Love The Ostrich! RoyTheBike RoyTheBike - 25 Feb 2007 10:21 |
| I went to this pub at the weekend and must say that, having reviews here, I did not know what to expect. However, I was really pleasantly surprised. I had not been to the Ostrich before the re-fit and cannot comment on the "before" look, but on entering the pub, it is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. There is a lovely old fireplace near the bar (which is very modern-looking and perhaps out of keeping with the history of the building) but I liked the "feel" of the place. The room we ate in was a little cold to begin with (it was not near the fireplace) but it soon warmed up once we started eating. The food was fantastic. A little pricey but very good. Service was excellent. We were shown the large function room upstairs, which was very impressive and the character of the upstairs has been kept very much intact. I can understand that locals may not be happy with the refurbishment. The pub is very old and it would have been nice to see more of the character kept downstairs. However, I was very impressed by the cleanliness (the glasses were crystal-clear, the cutlery, crockery and tables were all clean and not sticky like you get in some places and the floors and surfaces were all spotless. Toilets likewise). I really have nothing to complain about. when I go out for a meal, I think about the following things when making a judgement: 1. Was the place clean and would I be happy to eat there again? (yes) 2. Am I getting value for money? (we had the set Christmas menu and I thought it was priced about right - we had three courses plus coffee and mince pies and chocolates. With drinks it came to under £30/head). 3. Would I recommend it to my friends? (absolutely) 4. Were the staff friendly and was the service good? (the service was excellent). So, in all, I would definately recommend this pub for its food. Negatives - a personal comment: I would prefer to see less of the artistic photos of the pub on the wallsand more of the history. The pub has an interesting story and I would have liked to have read more about it during my visit. rasplicious - 12 Dec 2006 14:45 |
