| If you just want a beer forget this place,the history with dickens is not in keeping, its more of a restaurant with drinkers treated as an irritation beerbones - 15 Dec 2010 14:44 |
| No fan of 'gastropubs' many of which seem to follow a trendy formula but this is authentically more gastro than pub. I should have sampled the Adnams but instead had a g+t followed by smoked haddock at lunchtime It was excellent food, pleasant ambience and good value. I would go again. I am an old fashioned beer swiller but I would rather enjoy myself in a place like this than endure a retail unit themed as a pub. Frasercurmudgeon - 14 Apr 2010 22:31 |
| I walked up the steps to the bar and the only drinks available were Adnams and Bitburger, not that there was anyone to serve me. I looked around at the people sitting at the tables and they were all dining so I decided that I wouldn’t feel very comfortable staying just to drink so I left. Strongers - 4 Oct 2009 10:33 |

The Bleeding Heart has apparently been around nearly forever. It is, on the face of it a pub, however, it is better known as a French bistro cum/restaurant, and, I have to say, I wouldn’t fee all that comfortable sitting there just for a drink at lunchtime. As you might expect, it’s full of city types at lunchtime. The food is very good, though arguably expensive for a pub (but, as mentioned, if you think of it as a bistro, not so much). The food is good, and the portions are reasonable. They have daily specials on a board - I do try to choose from those when I’m there. I’ve had grilled mackerel there, and it was very good. I’ve also tried the lamb burger, which was also excellent. I’ve also had breakfast here, which, I have to say, was superb. I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast, and it was beautifully cooked with generous portions. They also have excellent coffee. The prices are on the high side, but not crippling so - around £14ish for a main course. They have, as you might expect, a good selection of wines, and a decent selection of Adnams real ales. I would not like to go to the Bleeding Heart just for a drink. However, I’d happily take clients here, and have eaten here with colleagues. mattygroves - 19 Nov 2008 09:38 |
