| Nice pub. Beer good (Woodforrde's Wherry) if a bit pricey. cobbo - 15 Dec 2009 13:03 |
| Good pub and good overnight accommodation too. Food average in my book: mussels I had were small and chewy, the broth so salty I considered sending it back. Fiancee's pie nice, pudding not so nice. Ale good, Aspall's cider very nice. WW2 aeroplane pitcures on wall, cosy bar. Full of egotistical uni types when I went, but that's better than it being full of chavs I suppose. Food could be better, beer v. good, accomodation v.good, service superb. 7/10 smasher123 - 17 Mar 2009 17:34 |
| I've only visited once, but found the dining area to be spacious and comfortable -ideal for us, a couple with a young baby- no fear of annoying too many other people! The food was very good (a good range of specials and standard items - all served in perfect time and tasty. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and welcoming; the two servers were spot on in terms of their attention and genuinely had time for us. The beer was also very enjoyable; I didn't try all of them, of course, but the Adnams was well-kept and just the right "cellar" temperature. My only gripe would be that smokers filled the porch on a rainy night (a difficult problem, I know), which made the passage through unhealthy for us and our young son. But an enjoyablning experience - we shall certainly be back and would have no hesitation in recommending such a friendly pub. nroskilly - 21 Jul 2008 08:40 |
| Incredibly smart (clientele among the richest in the country I should bet), but drinkers welcome as well as diners. Local Saffron Walden beer a bit dull, but well kept. Worth a trip to eat. mtaylor40 - 13 Oct 2006 21:08 |
