| This is the nearest pub to where I now live, but I don't go there. It's one of those identikit "family" pubs with an emphasis on food. Complete absense of character or atmosphere. I went in on my own once and felt very out of place among the tables of diners. It's not unfriendly, and the beer is reasonably well kept; it seems to be very popular judging by the number of cars parked outside. But I can't see the point of going to a place like this when I can drink bottled beer at home for a lot less money. newbury_drinker - 30 Jan 2012 00:47 |
| Probably more of a restaurant than a pub, the beers on tap are nice, the food is usually good but the service is terrible at times, especially when it gets busy. Either they aren't willing to hire enough staff or the ones they have are a bit slow. Andy2010 - 27 Nov 2011 17:30 |
| On my last two visits there was no real ale available even though it was on the local CAMRA Ale Trail! So no points there. Other reporters comments speak for themselves. mcroyal - 1 Sep 2011 23:06 |
| I like this place because of its location and its atmosphere, but the food has disappointed twice in a row now. Once because it was just average and the second time because of the tiny portions and the long waiting times. And we weren't the only ones complaining. Only about a third of the tables was occupied, yet it took the staff over an hour to bring our food, and when it arrived (and we were very hungry) the portions were tiny. A spoonful of mash and a chicken breast fillet on top for £10.95. I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. The beer (Bateman's) was perfect, though. diabolicalmastermind - 31 Mar 2011 23:41 |
| I've been here a few times and the food is excellent although the staff sometimes don't seem "with it". Lovely setting, not bad prices. Family pub with loads of seating outside by the river. snorkler - 11 Jul 2010 18:37 |
