| I used to come here for a full English + Guinness @ 0730, but that was around fifteen years ago. It was very good at that time. It's a shame it's gone downhill, which would seem to be the case. Grand_Mufti - 19 Apr 2011 16:56 |
| I meet a friend for lunch here about once a month. Yes it's scruffy and wastes it's potential, but you can always get a seat and the beer is fine. Very nice pork sandwiches with a sausage on the side. Alan_McT - 19 Apr 2011 16:09 |
| Average small one roomed bar (though not many straight angles). Had a reasonable pint of Youngs. Not such a bad pub though then again nothing special either. Snarling_Mallard - 2 Dec 2010 23:02 |
| As the previous contributor points out, this pub is actually called "The Hope" with "The Sirloin" being a separate restaurant upstairs. A very attractive exterior with a fine curved glass frontage leads to a traditional wood panelled interior with some fine tiling, a mosaic flooring and a burgundy painted ceiling. Note in particular the fine etched glass in the doors - "Public Bar" - and "Saloon Bar" - telling us that this was formerly a two roomed pub. Seating consists of wooden benches and tables. On my recent evening visit, despite ( or perhaps because of ?) screening the England v Hungary game at Wembley high up in one corner of the pub, the pub was virtually deserted with the only two other customers occupying stools on the pavement outside. The Young's "smile" logo is displayed outside on the frontage, but I don't think this has ever been a Young's house. On my visit, a reasonable pint of Young's Ordinary - £ 3.30p - was enjoyed. Shepherd Neame Master Brew was also on. The two foreign bar staff seemed rather bored and disinterested and there was no sign of anyone who seemed to be in charge or running things. I don't think this pub is as bad as previous contributors make out, but it's not down for an early revisit. JohnBonser - 31 Aug 2010 17:25 |
