| The Hillgate has been given a refit and has a new menu with a new chef and is wonderful. Love how the pub looks, and the food is out of this world. I ate Bavette Steak which was perfectly cooked - quite honestly the best steak I've ever had in a pub where so often you're let down when you order one. They have a good range of ales on offer, including Wandle and Pride. The loos here used to be a bit disgusting, but they're much better now. If you haven't been to the Hillgate recently, you should make the effort to go back soon. happyhank - 1 Mar 2010 18:53 |
| I read that this pub had improved of late. Sadly not much. Only one ale on - not well kept. Clientelle noisy and up their own a***s asprilla69 - 4 Oct 2009 19:59 |
| Re MrMurphy below... You should not be surprised that the bar woman asked “what kind of a stupid question is that?”, simply because it is a very stupid question, the reason being that Guinness is a pasteurized keg product that does not easily go bad. It is not an ale, it’s a mediocre keg stout which, unlike real ale, has a long shelf-life and is designed to taste the same everywhere. So, to a bar worker whose profession is working with beer on a daily basis, your question would have come across as ridiculous. gatomalo - 13 Aug 2009 10:36 |
| Down to the Gate to see Swifty (£6 bargain on Mondays) so popped in here for a very quick half so not much to comment on. A few regulars and a couple of barstaff who weren't busy but were busy cleaning tidying up, etc. Beach Boys on which was pleasant and a nicely chilled lager. Pleasant all round.

| It’s changed a bit since my last visit a couple of years or so ago. Not sure if it’s for the better, as it seems to have lost a bit of its character. But it’s still OK though – a fairly unpretentious backstreet pub in a fairly pretentious part of the world. There were a couple of large TVs showing the cricket, but muted presumably in order for the punters to endure the inane pop music. But maybe others like it. There were national flags of the “six nations” draped from the ceiling, something that I think detracts from the positive ambience of any pub – but again that’s just my personal opinion and it may be that those who do come in to watch the rugby have their drinking and sport watching experience enhanced by the presence of the flags. They had Sharp’s Cornish Coaster (which was pretty good) and Pride on. There was a sign advertising Skinner’s Betty Stogs’ Bitter, but didn’t see it on - shame that, as it’s an excellent ale. This is not my favourite pub in the area, but it’s OK. Nothing special, but another “OK” pub. RexRattus - 11 Mar 2009 10:31 |
