| Busy Chef & Brewer pub that was full with people seemingly enjoying 2 for 1 meals. The atmosphere was similar to a real pub. But this is still very much a restaurant. Real ales available were Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale & Old Speckled Hen & Holdens Golden Glow. There were other people only there for the beer. But being the minority, I didn't manage to get too comfortable. blue_scrumpy - 13 Mar 2011 19:47 |
| I visited this pub today with my family and it was dire. Fish with bones in, lumpy gravy, chips that were overcooked to the point of being inedible as well as tasting of very old fat, an "apple salad" that consisted of a few random lumps of apple on a bunch of watercress - added to a dirty sticky table, (plenty to read though, lots of graffiti scratched upon it), a filthy stained bench seat plus an even dirtier carpet (ugh!) and to cap it all - a manager who just said it was all down to "head office" and they had lots of people in yesterday and the oil was changed twice a week! No wonder it all tasted awful - oh and if you are supplying gravy made with gravy granules (yuck!) please at least have the decency to remove the lumps before slopping it down in front of your customers! Take my advice, just dont go there. Churchpolly - 30 Aug 2009 18:47 |

| We visited the Drum and Monkey on Sunday 31st August at 6pm - The Pub was half empty. I wish I had read the other reviews before we arrived. Our experience shows that nothing has changed since Dec 07. We found that several dishes from the menu were unavailable, we ordered from the standard menu not 'specials'. Our food took 45-50mins to arrive after ordering, the food quality was very poor - chicken and sauce, I've had better microwaved ready meals! Vegetables hard with brown edges, "not al dente" just undercooked! Waiting staff very apologetic when told about complaints but took no action to rectify. priority seems to be to sell extra drinks, fine if this is what you are looking for, but from our experience do not consider the food. silhillian - 1 Sep 2008 21:48 |
| been there since take over. lovely big garden. Food was good and lots to choose from on the menu. I am led to believe they have a good selection of beer, they certainly did wines. ecudc - 4 Jun 2008 13:10 |
