| Visited for the first time recently on a Saturday lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised. Although a Shepherd Neame pub the Late Red was in good condition and reasonably priced. Food, whilst not cheap, was good value for what you got and we would definitely visit again. meland - 24 Oct 2011 12:16 |
| The comment made by frederickson is extremely reminiscent of the landlord himself, right down to the speech mannerisms so I suspect the revue was a valid one. summersulie - 3 Jul 2011 12:56 |
| I could not disagree with you more! The food is excellent and so is the service. The landlord, with whom i personally know, is the nicest friendliest guy your ever likely to meet, and i know for a FACT that he would not ask anyone to leave if he did not have good reasoning to do so. You painted a very pretty picture in your elaborate review, im sure there was another ugly side to the story, which of course, your not going to divulge in. So, your poor attempt at bringing down The George and Dragon, has been most effortlessly foiled. This has been an honour, i thank you. frederickson - 10 Feb 2011 11:05 |
| I'm not sure I could agree that the landlord is all that friendly. Being a publican myself, and having a short break time to enjoy on xmas eve I went to eat here with my husband. They were very busy but found us a table and our order was taken promptly. Starters arrived and were eaten but then we waited for almost half an hour for our main course. The couple on the table next to ours were eating their starters the same time as us and had received their main course some time before I asked a waitress if ours would be very long. She went to check and said it would be a few minutes more, my husband mentioned that we were under a bit of pressure time wise and if it didn't arrive in a minute we wouldn't be able to wait any longer. There was no hassle, we could see they were busy and she understood our situation perfectly, she was very helpful. She went off and brought our main courses. No problem, everybody happy. We had barely raised our knives and forks before the manager flew through the restaurant towards us like a thing possessed spouting abuse at the top of his voice and making a scene. He seemed to think we had somehow been out of order for asking about our main course and wanted us to leave, which we did. When we got back to our place and mentioned it to some of our locals we found out we were not the first to be treated in this manner. I would like to stress that the waitresses were great, it was busy but they were keeping it all together. I can only suggest that they lock their manager up in a cupboard somewhere to stop him from spoiling their efforts! Trencherman - 28 Dec 2010 17:51 |
| Popped in last week late afternoon and wasn't overly impressed. The landlord seemed friendly enough, but most of the customers seemed to be men who like to swear a lot and didn't care if it was in front of a woman. Not a pub i'd return to in hurry! meland - 6 Aug 2010 12:58 |
