| I don't feel I can add anything to the three of four reviews below. A real waste. thomashenry - 1 Jul 2009 13:37 |
| I arrived at this pub having walked 20 miles of the Thames Path. I was expecting an old fashioned riverside pub with character where I could rest my weary feet and have a few ales in celebration. Boy was I disappointed. On entering the place it wasn't at all clear whether it was a pub at all - you had to search to find the bar and if you didn't intend to eat there was very little of a welcome. The one ale I had was OK, but nothing special. Certainly there was nothing to persuade me to stay. alexw123 - 22 Nov 2008 17:38 |
| Only the totally undiscerning would go here. A wretched apology for a riverside pub. Very poor food. Braganca - 17 Oct 2007 22:35 |
| Devastated! It is like sitting in a bus station with a constant stream of Mothers with babies in buggies, or kids being dragged to the lavatories (which are not very clean and tidy). The lavatories are right next to one of the main eating areas which would make dining a very unpleasant experience. Now that the policy is 'fags out and kids in', it is no longer a treat to go to the Trout. Invariably it like an assault course trying to get to the bar, having to negotiate your way through kids and buggies. There is a good selection of beers and wines, but each time you visit the prices will have gone up. The staff are very impersonal. The whole pub lacks atmosphere. This pub has really been ruined, and it not nearly as nice as it was when Bob and Laura ran it a year ago. anonymous - 1 Oct 2007 13:56 |
| How were the new owners allowed to get away with the destruction of a pub with such character? I went back recently after a few years away and it really brings a tear to your eye. The great old place has been transformed into the standard rubbish you would find in an All-Bar-One. It is nothing short of vandalism. Worryingly, the owners are proud of what they have achieved. The original interior no doubt changed bit by bit over hundreds of years but never so dramatically as this. The thing is, after ten years, what they have done will look worn out and rubbish. But there is now no way back. Tragic. Oh yes, food is weak and you have to wait years. Beer is ok I guess. Spaino - 18 Jul 2007 17:37 |
