| Been visiting this pub on the odd occasion for many years - hasn't changed much which is part of the attraction. Food and beer still good but the landlord (?) could not have been more un-welcoming if he tried. densparker - 8 Jul 2011 15:50 |
| Been here twice. Will never return. First visit, my family and I had crab sandwiches at lunchtime, all thoroughly enjoyable. Second visit, later that week, I went in for early-evening pint and soft drink with my 8-year-old son. Abusive landlord gave me grief for standing near his serving-hatch, then mouthed off at my son, who became confused and frightened. I told the landlord that if bullying the customers was his idea of fun, he could stick his pub up his a***. This led to a spontaneous round of applause from many of the customers in the bar. I then took my son by the hand and left the pub immediately, followed by four other customers who wanted to show their disgust at the way the landlord had behaved. Please can someone let me know when this hostelry changes hands, as I would like to go back there for a celebratory drink once the current landlord has departed/died. Dickola - 25 May 2011 15:44 |
| After a morning's stroll along the spit, was in need of liquid refreshment, so the Gun was an obvious choice. Interior interesting, though with an accompanying dog I chose to sit outside; beer choice (4 cask ales) good; Landlord (I couldn't have wished for anything better) excellent; service, from the guvnor, fine; as a bonus, crab sandwich very tasty, and quickly served. Proper users of this site already know that BITE is about beer, and not food. saffrons - 12 May 2011 15:26 |
| Went with some trepidation after seeing the recent reviews, but the Real Cider Guide said it had Old Rosie ... Turned out it had a very well-kept Old Rosie and the service was prompt and polite. We didn't eat here but other peoples' grub looked good and seemed to be served in a reasonable time for a busy lunchtime. Perhaps we just struck lucky, perhaps the landlord has sufferred from too many unreasonable demands and over-reacted. Having seen the "conservatory" is really a fully-fledged dining room with rugs on the floor, I can see why the attempt to take a bicycle through it was not well-received: I am a keen cyclist but would not take my machine through a room like that. jgurney1 - 17 Oct 2010 21:38 |
