| I am sorry to read ohmeohmy had a bad experience here. Like other contributors the beer has always been good whenever I've visited. Another local pub worth a try is the Cuckfield, good for Belgian ale, but also serves British real ale. Ginger_Beard - 1 Oct 2008 13:52 |
| Been using this place for a few weeks but found it very inconsistant for the beer the food and the service. Had a terrible pint of Speckled Hen and to top that I had a sandwich with stale bread. The particular member of staff that day was miserable and unfriendly and snarled when I mentioned the bread. I felt better when I realised I had been undercharged for the sandwich so justice was done! The untuned radio blaring out rap music and advertising is annoying in the evening and the candles would be a nice touch if they were lit. If anybody can recommend a traditional ale pub round here please let me know as this seems to be the best of a rotton bunch. ohmeohmy - 11 Sep 2008 20:34 |
| Love this pub, been going in there since i could legally drink in boozers and can honestly say its not changed much in those 15 years or so. Decent selection of Beers, well run by the Guvnor and most people who go in there have respect for both the place and the drinkers (though you get the occasional nutter - but where don't you?) Not going to be everyones cuppa tea but there's not many pubs like this around, enjoy while it lasts. jonbob - 9 Sep 2008 17:34 |
| Great local, better than all the rest in Wanstead. Never had a bad pint there ... Baxterchobb - 18 Aug 2008 10:06 |
| It seems to me that some people cannot identify a good pub if they were dropped into it and that most of the adverse comments here are from idiotic cheap skates who go to a pub once in a blue moon and expect the World. This is a pub doing good quality, home cooked food. What is great about this place is that the owner runs a tight ship and does not suffer fools. If you want Gordon Ramsey book up one of his restaurants months in advance and get the shock of your life. This is probably the best pub in the Borough and I say probably as I have not been to them all. The beer here is usually superb and there is always a great range on offer. The Staff are generally very friendly, polite and presentable. If you want to see badly run pubs, you do not have to venture that far from here. If you do not like it here, you can go and mix with the volatile environments of the establishments situated within a mile radius. I have not noticed bars on the windows and doors and it would appear that punters are free to leave if they do not like it. theploughinn - 12 Aug 2008 15:11 |
