| I visited this pub for the first time on Friday evening 26/11/2010. From the previous reviews here I was looking forward to it. I guess it is under new management and has been 'done up'. There was a shiny new bar with lots of shiny chrome lager dispensers and 6 hand-pumps all with the labels turned round indication no ale. The music was extremely loud and of questionable taste. I walked straight out again. I couldn't bear to spend any time in there. RickHarper - 27 Nov 2010 14:18 |
| the two drawbacks were that a lot of the beers were off, and it was quite expensive. otheriwise, it's one of the nicest pubs i've been in. beutifully decorated and lit, just a really nice place to spend an evening. complete with board games. a real must-try. Tescoid - 22 Nov 2010 13:45 |
| 5 handpulls with all but 1 pump clip turned round was not the best first impression for this pub. The solitary beer was Ossett Yorkshire Blonde, with Shepherd Neame Spitfire and Master Brew both absent. No Shepherd Neame beers in a Shepherd Neame pub? The interior is quite nicely decorated with plenty of wood - floorboards, chairs, tables, shelves etc. Puppets and toy soldiers add a slightly eccentric air to proceedings. Lantern type lighting above the bar and chandeliers above the seating give illusions of grandeur. Food was listed on a blackboard. Admirably there was no music and the TV was off. The landlady was friendly. But £9 for a 750ml bottle of cider?! This may be London. But it's one of the most expensive ciders I've ever consumed. Nice enough pub. But plenty of drawbacks. blue_scrumpy - 28 Sep 2010 19:20 |
| Really nice pub, good to drop in for a quick drink or as the starting point for a night out, nice staff, not too many scummy peeps and the food's very good also. thecupv1 - 24 Jul 2010 03:11 |
