| Probably the only decent place to eat in the area. Bad experience in the Tilbury, the Grandison a bit brash and pretentious, White Horse not particularly friendly, Plume - yuck! Ale is also good here, and the manager very droll. frank63 - 8 Feb 2014 01:41 |
| Visited Saturday 11 Jan. 3 beers on, asked for JHB but it went so had Twenty instead which was fine. Later on, the second pint was the JHB replacement of 3 Brewers from St Albans, also good. I did hear later that the JHB was poor before it went. Dinner was fine, decent steak and fish pie. Service was generally good, maybe they have read some of the previous reviews referring to service? Total cost wasn't a disaster either, working out about £23 a head including a couple of drinks. No complaints from here... Bernie5 - 13 Jan 2014 09:13 |
| I live locally and keep hearing raves about the food, how nice the owner is etc etc. For my birthday in March, I went to see what all the hype is about and was quite disappointed. Food was ok, nothing special, but not worth what I was being charged and the selection of beer on tap is quite disappointing. It seems to cater to the hooray Henry types, so I guess my partner and I felt out of place because we were expecting a nice quiet meal in a country village pub style, but it felt like a wine bar with antique effect. It is really over-hyped in my book, but sometimes it seems really busy so suits some. My partner and I are pretty easy to please for the most part but some decent service goes a long way. I am sure there are many local places I have not tried but The Robin Hood and Little John in Rabley Heath and also the Grandison Arms (Bramfield) are my favourite local places. The Grandison is maybe a bit more posh than what we prefer but at least the food and service are both great, so is worth the effort to clean up a bit before going out. The Tilbury isn’t bad either (I had one bad experience but gave them another chance and there was an improvement in the service). seadragonpisces - 23 May 2013 16:27 |
| I totally agree with Queasy. His descriptions of the local pubs are pretty much spot on - and publicans wonder why people don't visit pubs anymore! The best one around is the Robin Hood in Rabley Heath. At least it's still a pub and not a pretend Islington wine bar. Tewin - 5 Mar 2013 23:20 |
| Been a few times and getting a very mixed impression. Lovely old pub with inviting fire but service seems to be a real effort with the odd grimace thrown in. Food ok and the only place in the area with decent beer. Could be great but sadly let down by the attitude, and others have said the same. There's little competition - inbreds at The Plough, G1A running Tilbury, McMullens running down the White Horse, Belmont bankrupt, Grandison a hideous bistro, Plume of Feathers squalid, the Rose & Crown a zoo. Sort the service out and the customers will come. My friends, unfortunately, won't return. Queasy - 1 Mar 2013 02:17 |
