| Agree with others, the refurb does your head in. A recall it being fairly modern, but relaxing. Now it just gives you a headache. And with all the busy fussy seating arrangement a bloody great plasma screen with the football on. A pub clearly that can't make its mind up. But in a game of two halfs, despite the Greene King takeover, and their awful beer, a very locally brewed ale was being served. A little too flat for my liking, giving the appearance of coming straight from the cask under gravity, but still to be welcomed. AND a young barman who was very interested in ale, another plus baggydave - 27 Nov 2011 13:52 |
| The food is very good and it attracts a nice mixed crowd. The beer (Tea, Junction) is kept pretty well. The decor is a little whacky but it works. My only complaint is that the service is a little haphazard, but the charm of the place more than compensates. Worth a visit. The_Speckled_Hen - 21 Jan 2011 16:26 |
| Went to the pub for the first time last night for quiz night, they were handing out flyers at Gipsy Hill for a £200 guaranteed pot. Suffice to say we didn't win (a bigger group would have helped!) but we had a sensational burger and lamb shank. will definitely be going back edward66 - 3 Nov 2010 10:51 |
| I recently read a review on BITE which I thought was just brilliant. It read something like: "This pub was akin to being inside Liberace's head, whilst he was having a nightmare." Well, that's exactly how I felt about The Mansion. I think they've tried just a bit too hard. I mean, lampshades over chandeliers ... come on! The redeeming feature was the Symonds Cider on draught. But, the barman informed us it was off and may not be returning. I didn't like it, but if you want nice food and are a gastro pub fan, you may well love it. Pat_Bateman - 23 Apr 2010 09:45 |
| Good, friendly, attractive pub. Range of beers not the widest, and prices for food and drink are certainly not cheap. But it fits the bill for an occasional meal and drink or two. piemagico - 8 Jan 2010 08:57 |
