| The Alleyns Head is a very quiet but endearing pub...yes it is full of retirees/OAPS but its a great place to go to on a Sunday night or during the week if you fancy a really quiet drink HOWEVER do not attempt their curry night on a Thursday - I went there a couple of weeks ago and got what my doctor believes to be food poisoning....I was sick as a dog for 3 days and however much I praise the pub because in all honesty the regular food is delicious, the majority of the bar staff are lovely and the pub itself is immaculate, but I will never eat a curry in there again - but you pay for what you get so £5.99 incl. a beer - why did i do it?!?!?! bellahidalgo - 21 Nov 2008 14:19 |
| As others have noted its rather like a hotel foyer and devoid of atmosphere. The food is decent here though and they don't rip you off on soft drinks (about 50p for a pint of lime and soda). They also make an effort with the ales - it was south western week of the festival when I was in and the guests were Doom, Pigswill and Otter ale. All in all though somewhere to take you retirment age parents for lunch rather than a night out with 10 of your mates murgatroyd - 10 Nov 2007 09:15 |
| Drank here quiet sometime ago. It is OK. An Ember Inn, so ember inn prices. The pub is huge!! Very Spacious and relaxed. Quiz nights are pretty cool bubbles83 - 30 Mar 2006 22:48 |

| The Place is okay... If you've ever been to an ember inns then you've been here. Food is unexciting, expensive but at the same time is served promptly and there's never actually anything wrong with it, it just doesn't excel. Good selection of real ales, coming in at moderate prices (below 2.50), just look out for buying bottles. A Smirnoff Ice pops in at about £3.80 which is just ridiculous! (not that I would drink such a abomination) Quizzes on sunday and thursday are always fun and are certainly worth checking out, but this pub is certainly not worth travelling for. Considering the place is never dirty, staff are generally friendly and service is prompt, I don't think it's fair for this pub to get a rating of 3.6 just becuase of the horrible decor. There's got to be worse places out there, places that perhaps need a lick of paint. Just because the head is the most unoriginal plastic place under the sun doesn't place it that low. dank4000 - 20 Dec 2004 14:38 |
