| Are Fullers trying to put this pub out of business? Prices have always been higher than average but I got charged £3.45 for a pint of 3.7% Batemans XB yesterday and the Kronenbourg is now £3.65 a pint. The pub has got noticeably quieter over the last six months or so and at those prices it’s easy to see why. I’ll be encouraging my regular drinking partners to find somewhere else for a lunchtime pint, there’s plenty of choice. Millay - 8 Apr 2009 13:37 |
| Just been for lunch here. Good beer on offer-Discovery, Pride, ESB and Woodfordes Wherry, the latter we plumped for, delicious. Served by the little sexy smiley babe with piercings,she's an asset to this place. We all ordered mains and on the whole quite satisfactory, albeit microwaved maybe. The music in the backround was unnecessary, and the noisy Germans behind us just took a bit of the gloss off a pleasant experience. Will return though !! KOTB - 29 Jan 2009 15:21 |
| The quality of this pub suffers from it's position as it doesn't have to try very hard to get customers being just outside the tube station and law courts. Consequently it is overpriced and bland. Almost £10 for half a cold soggy pork pie and a scoop full of chips is not what I consider to be reasonable, neither is average Fullers ale consistently priced at well over £3. The interior is an open plan yawnfest and there is a slight poncy-ness lurking there in the background somewhere that you can't quite get your finger on. Not one I would go to again, especialy as it is within footslogging distance of the excellent Castle, Olde Mitre and Cittie of York. Although not many particularly offensive features about it I can only summon up an average 5/10 rating for this bland pub. Jay28 - 2 Oct 2008 13:34 |
| The Melton hosted the final of the Sainsbury's Beer Competition last week. The beers all had to be produced specially for the competition (I believe) and the winner, Dr Okells IPA, from Okell's Brewery in the Isle of Man is our current guest ale. Not sure how much of this you'll find on handpull around town so it's worth popping in for a pint while it's available. MaxPower - 30 Sep 2008 22:07 |
| WHEN EVER I PAY A REGULAR VISIT TO SHREVINGTON THE CIGAR SHOP AT OLD HOLBORN ALONG THE WAY AT STAPLE INN, I ALWAYS STOP OFF HERETO SAMPLE A CIGAR AND PINT OR TWO. TO BE HONEST, I CAN'T STAND MOST FULLERS BEER, BUT THEY DO THE ODD NICE ONE. YESTERDAY, I SAMPLED A COUPLE OF CHISWICKS AND ORDERED A BOWEL OF CHIPS AND SAT OUT SIDE. THE SERVICE IS VERY GOOD AND IT'S A VERY CLEAN PUB. TOILETS ESPECIALLY! KEEP UP THE STANDARD PLEASE? PLENTY OF PLACES TO SIT WITHIN AND OUT. AND A GOOD PLACE TO SIT AND SMOKE AT EASE. ENJOY!
