| I don't quite understand the more recent reviews of this pub, maybe the management's changed since the last review or they've got their act together, but I had a lovely meal there on a relatively busy Saturday afternoon. Staff were friendly and attentive and even swapped one of our drinks for free after my partner didn't like it - nothing wrong with the actual drink, just not to her taste. Food was good too - fresh and locally sourced. My only tiny complaint was it was a little cold where we were sat, but it was a freezing cold winter's day and I think we were just unlucky with the table's location. Overall a lovely canal-side pub with a friendly atmosphere, good food and reasonable prices. Sparkyvarcs - 4 Feb 2012 20:36 |
| Thought i'd pop in and enjoy the chaos that this pub is,very entertaining to sit at bar and watch,much better than t.v.The poor staff almost run everywhere as there are not enough of them and barely keep the whole thing going and that is on a quiet night!! It's like watching a slow motion car crash! 2 real ales on until you ask for them and then get told they are off(be nice to turn clips aroud so as not to get excited).However after apologies the landlady put some more on and it was excellent(UBU Purity).I just wish the owners of this pub(M&B) would get their act together and allow the Landlady the money for staff before it all goes belly-up. foodieman - 2 Sep 2011 21:41 |
| This pub should be a cash machine for the brewery,fabulous location on the canal,lovely building,spot on in so many ways.However as i go there 3or4 times a month i can only say it seems to lurch from one crisis to another.Often i've sat there and watched customers give up waiting to be served drinks and walk out,also at lunchtimes customers have left the pub before their food order has been taken as they need to get back to work.The beer is pretty good and the food is not bad either but the staffing levels and organisation is a joke(you cannot get away with this in this day and age)In it's defence last week new staff appeared and things seem to have improved but it's happened before and after a short period the old rot sets in again.I had American relations over 2 weeks ago and would have loved to have taken them there but i did not want them going back home saying how lousy the service was so we spent the money elswhere. foodieman - 14 Aug 2011 20:28 |
| Spent the evening here on a warm sunny night and was very pleased and impressed. Drink selection was ok and would have prefered a more interesting ale choice but was what was there was in good nick. Had a ploughmans which was absolutly devine just needed a touch more pickle. lovely pub. stewie2020 - 19 Apr 2011 07:23 |
| Went there yesterday for Lunch ...pretty much same as last review posted ...had to wait 20 minutes for a drink ...45 minutes for a Starter and a further 30 minutes for the main course ....all of which were poorly presented. Staff are rushed off their feet ...manager had a disagreement with the Chef at the bar + other customers were complaining (some leaving) ....would not recommend this pub to anyone ...which is a real shame as could be a nice place to go if they sort their act out !!
