| I was going to sit down and try and write some sort of witty review for the recent abominable experience my wife and I had at this restaurant but my time will be better spent on more productive things, although I will say: Cold flavourless food, rude staff and an offensive manager! dead_like_me - 9 Mar 2010 00:57 |
| Well we paid our annual visit to our local,we only live over the road,and despite it being a mid week lunchtime it was pretty busy. The wife picked the only thing on the menu that was un-available,still despite the omens we stuck to our task,well we had walked all the way over there,and with her changed order we sat and watched the world go by,,,,, My steak+fries were OK,nothing special but what do you expect from a place relying on Brake's version of haute cuisine,no it was the wifes fish that arrived with the wrong sauce that let the place down. To be fair they offered her a free pud+coffee after explaining they were so busy the guy operating the micro-wave got confused. Still despite the expected glitch the beer was grand just like an ale should be and at £2:90 a throw pretty good value. I might even go over for the odd pint or three unless folk taking up a table just for a beer+a yap instead of eating is frowned upon then maybe i'll order a sarnie which looked pretty good as they passed by our table. billieposter - 1 Nov 2009 21:15 |
| Much improved of late. Change of management seems to be working. Food is much better and they are trying some real ales from smaller breweries. It's much busier than it was last time I posted. Hope they keep it up! n4j - 27 Jun 2009 15:24 |
| The pub has changed management once again and their has been massive improvement which is shown by the popularity. The car park is generally chocka now! Beer OK, menu is good but there is a lack of consitany of quality, one time is fabulous, next time we went recently same dishes were of much poorer standard. jjaejones - 3 Jun 2009 20:19 |
| Food has gone down a good deal since being taken over and refurbished. Aparently something to do with budgets and targets set by the brewery...? The staff are great and do their best and are very welcoming, although at times there are not enough of them. The portions are generally quite small now and the quality is not much to write home about. It used to be very good indeed, hopefully, it will revive itself. n4j - 2 Sep 2008 08:46 |
