| Pub cum restaurant in Wivenhoe. It still shows outside as a Pubmaster pub but I guess it is Punch owned now. Three hand pumps; G/K IPA, Old Speckled Hen & Adnams Bitter. £2.60 for the Adnams Bitter which was pretty good although varying heights of head on the beer. Not the best tasting beer of our Wivenhoe crawl last night. A naval theme with ship steering wheels and an oar on the wall. Like the previous reviewer I also noticed the wallpaper on the wall and ceiling by the toilet kept up now by coloured map pins now. At least some of the tables are still available for drinkers who are not dining. Love_good_ale - 4 May 2009 02:00 |
| went a week or so ago after visting my son at essex university , the menu although not overly big obviously deals in quality not quantity as both me and my husband enjoyed starters and main courses which were very tasty and well pressented ,the wine list was how ever very dissapointing and the beer very tepid ,although full (reading other comments) all in all a very good experience and not to expencesive ,although the food holds up it does how ever over power the very tired decor held togethr in some place by very attractive gaffer tape ,one would say an overhale might be needed 8/10 kay41 - 22 Apr 2009 13:01 |
| Went a few weeks ago for a meal, very nice if slightly overpriced, and quite a limited menu, didn't bother with dessert as these were very overpriced at nearly £5 a go, no thanks! Didn't notice if the short pint phenomenon was still in practice. However, what I eventually chose from the non-diet friendly menu was very, very nice with very fresh vegetables so top marks there. Not top marks for shouty students but oops it is in Wivenhoe. jojo85 - 4 Feb 2009 10:29 |
