| I would recommend this pub to parents with small children. It's a 'hungry horse' pub which means food is served all day on unfeasibly large plates.The food isn't of gourmet quality and closer inspection might suggest your meal could easily have fitted onto a standard sized plate; however if like me you are happy with a 'chips with everything' type of menu then you'll be OK here. Furthermore this is a pub which welcomes children, with their own 'pony club' menu, fruit shoots etc. This is a pub where your kids can talk incessantly at top volume- drop their cutlery and climb under the table to look for it- get bored and decide to keep wandering off- in fact do all the things kids do without you having to cringe with embarrasment because all the other kids are doing it too. Extra plus point for me as a parent wanting to eat with my family but still drink decent beer- the hungry horses are owned by Greene King so you'll find some of their real ales on offer- Abbot and Old Speckled Hen (sadly the new reduced alcohol version) on our visit. Given the cacaphony of kids it's surprising any childless groups would want to come- but they do, in droves. As a result the pub is very busy- on one occasion we were told there was a 20 minute wait to order food, let alone be served with it. In a nutshell I would recommend a) visiting only if you have kids in your party b)avoiding obvious busy times like Sunday lunch- try 'teatime' instead. For the childless I'd recommend nipping round the corner to the Bell. edchambers - 10 Jul 2007 21:36 |
| More a eatery than a pub these days. There is a little section round the side (almost like a snug, but bigger) where smoking is allowed and all the regulars hang out. The food is meant to be excellent although being a bit of a snob I wouldn't touch it. Beer is a reasonable price and the bar staff are excellent and very friendly. willd - 20 May 2005 12:22 |
