| Update- the food on offer has certainly improved- the menu has been slightly expanded and the daily specials are usually quite interesting. The Bombadier has been well kept of late, and the excellent outdoor seating available continues to provide a smokers haven in the face of the July 1st regulations. Clearly maiking some effort to put up a fight in the Westbourne/Forager/Mariner Hove battle of the pubs. There is still room for improvement in the form of decent music, better food, and a reasonable range of well kept real ale. napoleon_dynamite - 30 Jun 2007 11:01 |
| Has recently changed hands- the food menu has now been reduced to burgers and bangers and mash with a few daily 'specials'. Also have been subjected to some shocking music played at at an offensively loud volume- does anyone who visits this pub really want that? I think they've taken their eye of the ball and newcomers in the locality are making more of an effort to create a decent atmoshphere and serve high quality food and beer, although given the location of the pub and all the outdoor seating I doubt they will struggle for business, especially with summer and the smoking ban on the way. napoleon_dynamite - 9 May 2007 21:15 |
| 10 times better looking than when it was my local, the Rutland. Let down by incredibly rude staff who can bearly tear themselves away from their friends to serve you and then go back to them so quickly that they forget to give you change (twice) and put it into a glass behind the bar! Quite unbeleivable. And this has happened more than once. bigbadjimmy - 29 Jan 2007 12:29 |
| Nice pub- much better than the other locals nearby. I have always found the staff very friendly. Does suffer from a lack of decent beer, usually bombardier and an IPA or speckled hen- How about some Tim Taylors please! Often the beer does not taste too fresh. Food is of a pretty good standard, although the menu isnt too imaginative and rarley changes. Sunday roasts are pretty poor. Lots of outdoor seating for the summer, and there is usually a good atmosphere to the place. Overall, the beer and food isn't perfect, but this pub is still light years ahead of all the local competition. napoleon_dynamite - 1 Jan 2007 22:59 |
| Nice airy and clean pub with good mix of people. Staff can be a bit rude and dismissive though. MrGillyboy - 20 Nov 2006 18:25 |
