| The lack of decoration and the smell of piss led me to believe that some scallywag had found an abandoned shop and stuck a bar at the end of it. The Adnams was good and Batemans’ XB and Broadside were also available alongside some premium and a limited selection of standard lager. When most other places in the area were reasonably busy this place was dead and there were actually two blokes standing there staring at the TV which was switched off. The cellar bar was closed, but on the way to the toilet upstairs I did pass through the “Modern British Restaurant” which was in reality a few tables and chairs in the upstairs bar that were taken up with a number of tourists who seemed to be enjoying themselves. I’ll leave this place to the tourists in future. Strongers - 30 Apr 2009 14:32 |
| Not a bad little pub, a bit bleak and lacking character inside but the Adnams Bitter I had wasn't too bad at all. Never been busy when I've been in there, an ideal place to be alone with your thoughts while enjoying a good drink. Only downside was the lack of ale selection. The_D_Man - 27 Feb 2009 12:29 |
| Suprised to see the comments below. I've been using this place as a meeting place for a couple of years now and never had a problem with the food or the service. In fact, the Portugeuse steak is to die for! RobBlake - 8 Jul 2008 11:28 |
| Went to this pub last night and had one of the worst meals I have ever had in a pub. I mistakenly thought it was a traditional oasis in the trendy London pub market, and hoped for some decent British pub grub. We were severely disappointed. The food took a while to arrive and it was really grim when it did. My chicken was rubbery and tasted odd and came with very odd looking sweet potato and my companion was less than in impressed by his tasteless sausage and mash. The beer was really badly kept and watery, bearing no resemblance to the Adnams it was meant to be. Also, the staff were pretty unhelpful and it was not good value for money. I would not go back. We then went down the road to the friendly Harp and had some excellent well kept interesting beer there - what a contrast. S.Spice - 3 Jul 2008 15:18 |
| A top find in a swamp of tarted up bars. This place always seems to have a friendly crowd and well kept beer. deadleg - 27 May 2008 17:47 |
