| Straight out-of the-rulebook gastro pub. Why do they make these places so uncomfortable: does it appeal to the puritan streak in the English middle classes? rabdes - 27 Nov 2011 11:11 |
| Since this pub was taken over by new management 7 months ago it has now become my favourite pub! The front of house staff is always very friendly and accommodating and it has a lovely atmosphere, very cool music and great food. I have been coming to this pub on and off for 10 years and so glad it has it 'mojo' back, from a very run down version of itself last year. sallysally - 2 Feb 2011 11:34 |
| Absolutely awful food! The beef medallions (which cost £10.95) are not medallions but just cheap thinly sliced offcuts of beef! Don't eat here when you can go to the much better Eagle 2 minutes walk away...! leont - 23 Dec 2009 15:22 |

| My first beef with this place is why do pubs use these stupid metal handles on their pumps that have the name of the drink etched into them so that you can only see what drinks are on offer if you are standing directly in front of the pump. You end up having to ask the barman who resents being asked what drinks are available every time someone who has not been into the pub before walks in. I did manage to find out that one ale was off, but Landlord and Pride were available alongside a selection of standard and premium lagers. The target market seems to be the young middle class professional who likes playing board games whilst sitting on cheap looking furniture. There is a lounge and cocktail bar upstairs, but I didn’t investigate as I decided that I had seen enough and moved on. Strongers - 3 Sep 2009 23:51 |
