| Went for the claim of "top notch" food mentioned by another reviewer. Sunday Roast was the order of the day. Service was reasonably swift, though it was quiet when we ate. We found the portions small (two small roast potatoes,one small yorkshire pud, some mashy carrot thing, lacklustre cabbage, and parnsip chips). The vegetables barely warm - probably been sitting on the plate for a while. And the meat (some had roast beef, some chicken) over cooked and a bit fatty. There was plenty of gravy though, and a decent selection of sauces. It wasn't overly expensive which was OK, but it doesn't cost anything to keep the veggies hot, or put an extra potato on the plate. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was nice, but as decent Sunday roasts go, this place isn't one of the best. stiggy22 - 27 Jan 2008 18:54 |
| I'm slightly biased because I live a whopping 50ft away from the front door but nonetheless, it's a great pub. The beer is great; decent lagers (and despite it being my favourite lager, it's nice to see somewhere that doesn't feel the need to sell the obligatory Stella) and cracking ales. The Ubu and wheat beers are really very good. The food is top notch; tasty, decent-sized portions (althought I wish they did a proper old-school pie) and they have a pretty good lunch menu for a fiver. The staff are very nice, have always got time for a chat, and you feel like they remember you without you having to go twice a week for a decade. The decor is somewhere between traditional and quirky; big old Chesterfield sofas (great when it's cold outside and you've got a book to read) and modern artwork which I believe you can buy. All round good pub, tucked away in a calm little pocket of Borough. feedmybongos - 11 Nov 2007 23:47 |
| Decided to try a new (fairly) local pub so read a few SE1 pub reviews and this place caught my eye. I agree with the people who posted positive comments for this place. The place had a good atmosphere, good decor, friendly staff and customers alike. We did not eat but the beer was good and the food coming past us all looked nice so will be back again.
