| OK pub. As a country cousin I was a bit surprised to be charged an eye-watering three quid for a pint of Pride, especially as it was only 2.85 in the Partridge. BTW I bought two half-litres of beer in a restaurant in Portugal a couple of weeks ago. Cost? Three euros. Rip-off Britain lives! twm_sion_cati - 6 May 2008 11:45 |
| Would agree with recent comments. Despite winning Fullers Pub awards in previous years, I feel the character of the Tom Foolery recently just hasn't hit the spot; it's on its way to becoming another run-of the mill town centre boozer. Big screen for sport, and well-kept beers, though never seems to have the range of seasonal Fullers ales which the Partridge a few doors down has; plus I've often had to ask for a short measure pint to be topped up. Hope it returns to its former glory days. Dartitis - 27 Feb 2008 14:39 |
| This used to be a real gem within the dross pubs of Bromley. Ale kept properly, good food and sport on good sized screens. One of the few pubs you could be guaranteed to get to see a Rugby International without endless Football..... But now for some completely inane reason, real sport is banished to the rear screens with no commentary and the front screen is used for Sky Sports News???.... only to be watched by a few saddos, clutching their racing post and losing betting slips.......... Madness!!! halfbee - 4 Feb 2008 15:53 |
| A Fullers pub which has won several awards (a fact attested by the plaques by the entrance); I sadly left The Tom Foolery disappointed on my visit last Saturday (12th Jan). The beers, as anticipated, were top notch and my first pint of Discovery in five months, was washed down my gullet with most ease. However, strip the goodness of the ales away, and you are left with a rather bare, dull and in my opinion, incredibly boring pub. Beers are not everything. The background dross served up cunningly as ‘music’, insulted my ears and whilst those within seemed content enough, I wasn’t. Fullers have seemingly decided to opt for all things contemporary and trendy and whilst such establishments have their place, they could’ve at least made a good stab at it. I was looking forward to my visit last Saturday (12th Jan). I’ll give it a 6 for the Discovery, but this bar unfortunately gets given the ‘must try harder’ tag by this reviewer.
