This is a nice looking gastro pub that was serving up Sharp’s Cornish Coaster, Fosters, Kronenburg, San Miguel, Birra Morreti, Aspalls cider and Guinness on my visit last week. The barman was very friendly, but unfortunately I was the only person in the pub at 12:30 and after returning from the toilet upstairs I was told that I have to move as a reserved sign had suddenly appeared on my table. I’m not 100% that it wasn’t there when I originally sat down, but I’m pretty sure.

It’s a fairly big pub, but it is nicely sectioned so that it doesn’t have a food hall atmosphere. I spotted a couple of plasma screens and I could have sat there all afternoon watching the tennis.

The ‘sun trap’ paved beer garden is fairly small and unexciting although there are thousands of little lights around the walls, so maybe it comes to life at night.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here, but I’ve been to a lot worse gastro pubs than this so I may pop in if passing again.

Have eaten here a few times and still not sure if I like it or not. I do like the look of the place, though food has been only average and service friendly enough but a little clueless.

Nice location but a fairly standard modern pub, the earlier comment about all bar one is spot on. The sun trap garden was full of smokers when I went so we stayed inside and sat on one of the sofas. OK overall but no real reason to go back.

Not a pub but a restaurant with a bar area. Good food and not too overpriced, though the real ale was decidedly iffey last time I ate there. Nice enough spot but very bland interior - rather too much of an all-bar-one clone with little character.

came in last sunday 10th around 6pm had the sunday roast nice but bit expensive. finished my meal with my wife sitting there having a quite drink around 9.30 when told it was last orders even though they have a later licence was a little shocked but barman said it was policy if bar went quite looked around only myself and my wife left so went on our way.only to go over the road to a near by pub not hotel to find just a few people in there but manager very helpful.As new to the area thanx to the helpful barman at the botanist think i have just found my new local.Sorry djs 100 yards and you have just found the best pub on the green.
