| I have been coming to this pub for quite a few years, even before it went all gastro and used to have a pizza kitchen and a pool table. Experiences have tended to vary between ok to great, but my most recent visit suggests this pub is now in safe hands and I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit. We reserved the big room at the back for a Leaving Party and the Manager and staff could not have done more to accommodate us. We were a relatively large group with around 50 adults and 13 babies/small children for a Saturday afternoon event - everything we asked for was handled perfectly by the Pub's lovely people - the food that was laid on was excellent and for zero hire fee or minimum spend guarantee we were bowled over. If you are looking to reserve a room for any kind of event/party then i don't think you can do better than The Durrell. Top stuff. TheClaw - 12 Dec 2011 23:31 |

| I don't think this pub has ever known what it has wanted to be. Maybe its the size of the place, but it has always seemed a little anonymous and cheerless. Similar to having a drink in an empty airport departure lounge. A little pricey too. Maybe the new management will add some needed warmth and friendliness. eddyd - 24 Aug 2010 11:09 |
| They wouldn't give me any gravy to go with my roast dinner as our "allocation" had already been used up by the other 10 people on our table. We must have easily spent £200 in there between us; really mean. Had to eat a dry roast lunch. Will never give them a penny of my money again. ilovegravy - 2 Aug 2010 10:48 |
| The last year has seen the Durell transform, aesthetically. Where once bland and ageing, it now looks really nice and a lot of care and effort has gone in to a comprehensive refurbishment. The toilets still leave a lot to be desired but aside from that, it feels like a good place to be. On a weekend, after what seems like countless changes in management, there finally seems to be some consistency here with a good quality band playing at weekends (although disappointingly, bog standard commercial cheese replaces them when finished) Aside from the look, there are one or two issues here. This is a pricey place to drink - you don't have to travel much further down the road to find places significantly cheaper than here. It's not all about cost, granted, but I've drunk in Mayfair for cheaper than it costs here, so they definitely lose points for overpricing their alcohol. Additionally, the food is average - nothing special here. I'd suggest it as a place to have a drink or two but don't plan on leaving without having spent more than you probably should on a night out if you spend any longer. spurious - 25 Jul 2010 21:18 |
