| Warm, welcoming friendly staff. Yummy food & a lovely selection of drinks, wine, cocktails & beers. My boyfriend & I hadn't been for a long time & after our visit last week we will definately be making this a regular place to treat ourselves. The restaurant side is quite small, which means there are no big groups, the menu had so much to choose from & then a lovely list of chefs specials! I went for the rack of lamb, scrumptios! We would definately recommend this place for a nice relaxed evening out. Sarah7K - 3 Nov 2010 18:50 |
| I visited recently, just happened to be passing and it looked a nice village pub. Not until I saw the familiar menu did I realise that it was the M & B village "upmarket" stuff. On the good side it was reasonably well appointed, with a good Mediterranean style outside eating area. On the downside. I found the food to be ridiculously overpriced ordinary stuff. The menu is very pretentious. Certainly nothing if you seek "pub grub" The cask ale at £3.15 is London priced in a Bucks. village pub. But the biggest problem is ever getting a drink. Clearly this place aims at the table service, not the bar. I am not sure that I have EVER had to wait for so long to get served a drink. My wish is to see M & B providing half decent value and service? But the place was pretty full and frantic. So, I guess hey have hit the right spot with many people. All in all an expensive and poor place, best avoided. BeerEnthusiast - 13 Jul 2010 10:49 |
| I went there with by 2 sons to give my wife a night to herself, and to celebrate the end of their school term. They'd wanted to got there for ages, and from the look of it having driven past many times, so did I. What a sorry, sorry disappointment. Although it wasn't all that busy (5.15pm on a Friday), there was a long wait at the bar while the (Aussie) barman served everyone with a complete lack of urgency. I asked about ordering food and was told that the restaurant didn't open til 6pm. What, I asked, about the fixed price menu advertised everywhere (about which more later)? That's only available at lunchtime. How about the pile of flyers sitting here, right between us, that say its available between 12-6pm? I asked. Oh, then it must be, he said at last. Now, to me, a fixed price menu means that for a set price, say £9, you get the choice of 1 or 2 courses. On THEIR fixed price menu everything had a different price. Now, how in the name of goodness, is that a fixed price menu? Its just a menu! And another thing, and this highlights the pretentiousness that others have mentioned, they try to look sophisticated by using the French version of "fixed price" which is "prix fixe", NOT, as they spell it on every piece of advertising material I could find (and if you like I'll scan the menu and post it to the site) "Pre Fixe". That really is both pretentious and stupid. The last straw, and what made me walk out, was when I asked for new potatoes on one of the dishes to be substituted for chips for one of my sons. I was told the dish was the dish and couldn't be altered, although for £3 I could order a bowl of chips. Surely, the chef could substitute the veg for chips for my boy? No, it is what it is. Finally, after I persisted, he relented (sarcastically adding that it was because I'd been such a good customer) he'd ask the chef. I thanked the barman and as I walked away I clearly heard him swear at me. That was it, and out i went, and I would recommend everyone to save the trouble and not even go there because if you have a discerning bone in your body you'd just walk out too. sleepyandgrumpy - 3 Apr 2009 20:00 |
