| The best thing about this pub is the extensive garden, which, if you arrive early is deserted and tranquil. The inside of the pub is horribly gloomy and badly decorated .As i was out walking the dogs and wearing old camouflage trousers, I felt out of place inside the pub. The staff are straight out of The Only Way is Essex and have nothing to say to you. I opted for the Stella Artois which was very well kept i must say DerHammer - 10 May 2011 23:16 |
| Hubby and I visited recently and were both very disappointed. We didn't eat as there was a 2 hour wait for 'food' (which from what we saw looked very ordinary and appeared to be tiny portions). The ladies still smells of sick as noted below, and apparently, the gents smells of something worse and was filthy. We had a quick drink, but didn't see anyone remotely glamorous. It's a shame because the location is very nice - it needs running and staffing properly or it will be another victim of the recession I fear! I would not recommend it to anyone and it gets 3.5/10 (mainly for the location. PissFlap - 28 Apr 2011 15:28 |
We ate there twice last year 2010 and were very impressed with the pub the staff and the food, but this year (2011) were extremely dissapointed. The staff seemed rushed off their feet, the food was not nearly as good nor were the choices and the ladies toilets smelt of someone having been sick (sorry) for being graphic. If we hadn't of ordered and were waiitng for food I would of left. It was very off putting. Such a shame we went there deliberately as we had enjoyed it so much last year. Won't be visiting again sorry Kings Oak. Lynn59 - 12 Apr 2011 10:27 |
| Not what i expected, the pub has changed somewhat from my previously visits to a bar. Emphasise seems to be on fooddinning. I think the bar caters for more glamerous people. Good location though especially now the council is redeveloping public area outside of the bar. Bring back the pub! harperp3 - 14 Mar 2011 14:03 |
| Hi Kingsoak, High Beech. Watch your blog. There is an abnoxious reviewer, called "StoutChappie", who visits every pub in England every day of the year then writes something defamatory about your reviews. merkin5 - 2 Feb 2011 18:59 |
