| Fairly busy for a Monday afternoon when we visited. Shame that the barmaid was more interested in smoking outside or talking to her friends than actually serving customers! Green King IPA. "Morlands" Original and O S Hen on offer. The IPA was only £2.90 a pint and actually not bad for a usually bland beer. Food wasn't sampled but the menu looked quite reasonably priced to me. cheshirecat - 20 Sep 2011 09:41 |
| Went there yesterday and it was almost empty. Lacks atmosphere but was clean & tidy. The pub has 2 sections and both were showing the football game for that day. it would have been nice if there was a section where we wasn't exposed to groups of men yelling at the TV. There was four in our group and although we ordered our food at the same time, it came out at different times?!?! The food wasn't hot, merely warm. I had the Southern Fried Chicken Wrap and was surprised to find that the salad inside it was drowning in a vinagerette dressing... Very strange!! Today I have a bad stomach and I can only assume it is from their warm bad food. I won't be eating there again. The staff were fast to serve you but a smile and eye-contact would have been nice... Oh well. Mamacita - 9 Jan 2011 04:36 |
| Seems to have been going downhill for some time now which is a shame as this used to be my regular meeting spot before gigs at the nearby Scala, Water Rats and Lexington. Visited this week and the pub was by no means busy yet the landlord seemed intent on chatting to his regulars rather than taking my order. After a couple of minutes of standing alone at the bar a barmaid returned from collecting glasses and finally took my order. Previously the food was quite reasonably costed but prices have been creeping up. Visited the other day and received a veggie burger that I discovered was ice cold upon biting into it, to the extent that it must have barely seen a grill. That was their last remaining veggie burger so instead ordered fish, chips and mushy peas; when it arrived without peas I queries their omission and was simply told that they were out. A personal peeve of mine is being scalped in pubs for soft drinks so I was very disappointed on ordering a cider and blackcurrant that they swill of blackcurrant added to the glass was rung thru the till as FIVE (!) dashes of cordial, thus adding another quid on to the prize - paying £4.20 for a pint of Strongbow and blackcurrant is not what I expect in a fairly average Kings X boozer. Overall, a thouroughly disappointing visit on all counts. I shall not be returning and will instead be seeking out another Kings X regular. Pentargo - 20 Aug 2010 13:21 |
| I have given this pub a low rating because of the food. I ordered a chilli which arrived luke warm (temperature that is!). Not wanting to take any risks I sent it back. However it arrived still not properly heated through, a simple inspection as it left the kitchen would have confirmed this. To be fair they did give me a refund and it would have been a nice place for a drink - but I would not order food there again. scampiandchips - 22 Jul 2010 19:26 |
| Went there with a friend on friday lunchtime. Spacious pub with an area at the front ideal (but not dedicated) to dining. Very reasonably priced menu with dishes from around £6.95 upwards. Went back in the evening for an hour and tried the Green King IPA and the Speckled Hen. Well kept beer and still room to sit down. Noticed two large parties came in with a couple of children. No kids after 8 apparently which is a shame as they were about 15 and there were lots of adults as well. All that lost trade. Altogether, a good experience. ButchEgg - 16 May 2010 11:05 |
