Having now tried the food here I can recommend the various mezze platters. Good value for money and friendly service!

I agree with Hotfoot. We live just down the road and have visited this pub a couple of times. The place doesn't seem to know what it is- they have a beautiful building with some gorgeous period features which has been decorated in a rather odd pastiche of styles (really nice middle eastern lamps and a few rugs, framed Parisian-style Art Deco posters). There are both pizzas and a very intruiging selection of mezze stuff on the menu. Two real ales (Landlord and Pride) are on offer, though not very well kept, and they have the full gamut of other stuff from lager to cocktails and a big coffee machine. It's usually pretty dead on a weekday evening, but I've heard live music coming from upstairs and there's usually a crowd outside on the weekends enjoying the sun.

Anyway, weirdnesses aside it's a friendly enough place. Like I said, beer isn't great, but I'm looking forward to testng out the menu someday and if I wanted a decent pint I'd go down the road to the Jolly Butcher anyway. The Bird Cage is good for a bog standard lager in the afternoon sun and for watching the locals coming out of Morrissons.

eight pounds for a bottle of kopperberg cider and a Tim Taylor landlord,6/10

I stopped off in here last night while waiting for my Mrs' delayed arrival at the station.

I'm not sure if its run/owned/managed/cheffed by Turkish people, but there seemed to be a few around and a strong theme on some of the menu items. I didn't eat, but the menu looked reasonable and well-priced.

However, they only had one ale on, and £3.40 for a pretty insipid pint of Landlord is frankly disappointing.

When I went, there was some downbeat tunes playing, and the atmosphere in the cavernous space was a bit sad. I think they have live music upstairs, and there is an attempted trendy edge to the place, albeit fourth-generation-faded-photocopy style.

Not dreadful, but I did find the place ever so slightly depressing (and I was in a good frame of mind before and after visiting)

The place has improved a lot since changing hands recently. Nothing worth writing home about, but they do have Landlord ale, so this is where I go when I get the hankering for a pint.
