| We always used to joke that Youngs were famous for their pub "moderations" but this is the most radical that i've seen. The glass box has opened the pub up considerably. So much so that we might end up feeling claustrophobic in traditional boozers. The practical outcomes are more tables to eat and drink at which has to be better doesn't it? Kew Gold - on tap - was bit bland on the day. Special better. NorthernBloke - 26 Aug 2009 07:53 |
| Yes it is a coincidence, I have no idea who Emily is. Was there again on Friday for a nightcap and I would modify my opinion to saying its okay but I take the point about an airport lounge. If you look at Young's website they seem to be doing this kind of 'makeover' to alot of their pubs. But it's done now, so all you can do if you don't like it is drink somewhere else!

| Nicholas7 must be EmilyBright123's boyf...both 1st-time posters, posting on how wonderful the refurb is, minutes after they've registered on the site. Coincidence? strongarm - 1 Jun 2009 10:53 |
| The makeover is an improvement, although I can understand how it must have upset old regulars. Basically they have ripped the front out of the old pub and built a huge conservatory with some serious plate glass. It is better; there was something faintly depressing about the old place, which smacked of grey cardboard Sunday roasts. The new pub is brighter and smarter and from what I could see last Friday night, very popular, even towards midnight. Nicholas7 - 31 May 2009 21:10 |
| "EmilyBright123" is clearly a shill - a bumsucking write-up and no previous reviews...think we are stupid? I hope it wasn't you, "Emily" (if that is your real name) that thought it was a bright idea, having chucked away the old pub and the old pub atmosphere to now chuck away the pub name and its historic associations. Is "grotto" too downmarkert for you and your airhead image/marketing-driven 'mates' (as pictured on the erzatz new website? This pub belongs on a bypass in Bracknell now. strongarm - 28 May 2009 09:55 |
