| They do an excellent Weissbier however the service is mediocre. Even when not busy, the staff seems un- able to manage. Lately the food has been abysmal to the point of our table bursting out laughing at what we received. To complete the Faulty Towers situation the weekend manager is also abusive if you complain. Used to be a great place; I hope it comes good. zdw - 20 Apr 2009 21:03 |
| For the array and diversity of beers you can't fault this place. There's 3-4 cask beers, Addlestones Cider, Fransiskaner, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and some premium lagers. The fact that most of the staff seem to know anything about them or how each needs pouring is a tad worrying. It's not cheap and can seem a bit pretentious but go at a quiet time and it's OK.

| I popped in here on Saturday evening and had a very nice pint of Landlord. The other three ales all seemed to be off for the night and the only other offerings were premium lagers. I found the barman to be friendly and knowledgeable enough and the other punters seemed like a good crowd. The downstairs bar had a DJ who was playing some pretty good tunes, but I wasn’t really in the mood so I disappeared up to the quieter bar, which is sign posted as “The Drawing Room”. If I lived locally this would probably be the ‘lets go there for a change’ pub on the odd Friday/Saturday night. Strongers - 6 Apr 2009 17:02 |
| I agree with previous commenters. This has been my local for 1 1/2 years now and it has really gone to the dogs. It used to be a great pub although has always had problems with staff - there seems to be a high turnover and a lot of European staff who sometimes don't even know what a Pimms is! However the atmosphere used to be great and the food good. Lately every time I've eaten there there has been some problem with the food - eg my friend had a beef roast being brought instead of lamb, chicken instead of halloumi, and being told half an hour after ordering that there was no nut roast. I did get a free meal out of them that time but when it arrived it was stone cold! The most disappointing part is this used to be a good pub. So sad! 6/10 purely because the fish and chips are excellent. fingersandtoes - 1 Dec 2008 12:29 |
| Relatively run-of-the-mill pub. Didn't eat here and after reading previous reviews I'm glad I didn't. But can't complain about the beer - a good choice of ales, with some unusual guest options. No problems getting a seat or getting served, although this was not surprising at 3pm on a midweek afternoon. Not bad if you're in the area, but there must be more inspiring venues nearby.
