| Bit of a deceptive one this, on the surface it seems perfect – well furished with comfy coaches and a wide and spacious sitting area, always some football match on the multiple screens, friendly bar staff, okay food for less than £5 and ridiculously cheap bar prices, only £1.80 for a pint of bitter! BUT – and it’s a big but – you can’t help but feel uncomfortable here because of the presence of “the regulars”; the few times I’ve been here the same bunch of people have been there, and you’re talking proper “fringes of society” stuff. There’s the usual Kilburn style drunk Irish OAP bunch bellowing across the pub, a handful of people sitting at tables by themselves - seemlingly lobotomised and staring vacantly into the distance, strange bald old men giving you odd looks as they walk past, and most disturbingly, one old man of around 75 who attends the pub every day in a mini-skirt, womens leggings, or other assorted female clothing!! It all adds to a “uh I hope I don’t end up like that when I’m old” kind of feeling. A good pub to have 1 or 2 pints with a mate with, and maybe watch a football match, but not the kind of place you want to stay at for a prolonged time or regularly visit. Fenriz - 26 Jan 2012 09:46 |
| A pleasant surprise having only used this pub very randomly, and not at all for a few years. Don't go to the Golden Egg if you want candles on your table, posh toilets, posh over rated expensive food or to mix with the beautiful young professionals. Do use it if you like mixing with good honest folk and to drink beer at the cheapest prices. Meals are very low priced. The pub is like a cheaper Wetherspoons. I tried both cask ales and both were poured expertly by the two gents behind the bar. They cost £1.89 for that rarist of beasts, a 3.8% session beer which I'd not heard of before, but it was excellent. The other was stronger (Double Dragon I think?) and again was very good, especially for just £1.99. A typical sample from the menu was an 8oz rump steak with chips and onion rings for a staggering £3.99! TVs were on around the pub to entertain the middle age and older crowd showing Royal Ascot with the sound up and the cricket with sound down. It looks like a big screen comes down for big matches. If in the area I'd definitely use again. willesden_seadog - 16 Jun 2011 22:57 |
| Had been in the pub for less than a minute before a local told us "I'm a regular, you're not, f off". Should have heeded his warning as my pint was poor too. cmofish - 30 Mar 2011 09:41 |
| As the previous poster has mentioned, the Guinness is £2.25 a pint and I thought that it was of a reasonable quality (I have certainly paid £3.50 a pint for far worse). There was also a standard draught selection available during my visit alongside Double Dragon and Best from the Welsh brewers Felinfoel. The main feature of this pub is probably the Sky Sports shown on the many screens throughout along with a projector screen on the back wall. I found the staff to be pleasant enough and there was a decent crowd in attendance watching the football results roll in. The décor is a little tired and the toilets are a smelly mess, but this would be my sports pub of choice in the area. Strongers - 25 Nov 2009 10:41 |
| What's to complain about? Guinness £2.25 a pint, food cheap and cheerful, sport on the televisions. The clientele seem a mixed bag in keeping with the area. If you like traditional pubs then worth a visit. highlandpaddy - 28 Jul 2009 13:19 |
