| Ember Inn looks a bit different from their usual carbon copy, but all the usual standards. Decent beer range, but at £1 a half the Pedigree was unmissable and pretty good too. mtaylor40 - 5 Aug 2011 20:53 |
| Been a few times, usually on the way somewhere else - bland and boring BUT so unbelievably cheap that you can get shitfaced to the point where you won't notice on a relatively meagre outlay. The food is surprisingly good (and it's got better since their May 2011 refit) and also good value. The beer garden is quite big and good in the summer. Frankly it looks like the sort of place I'd take my grandad if he wasn't dead and if it were a colour it would be beige, without a doubt. However worth going to if you are in the area and are cash-strapped. Also - FACT - it was a postwar replacement for the original Alleyn's Head which used to be opposite (where Majestic wine is now sited) but was destroyed in 1944 by a flying bomb. oldjg1 - 19 Jun 2011 13:35 |
| Large post-war building on a prominent corner on the edge of a residential area. The bar is directly ahead as you enter, with five handpumps offering London Pride, Youngs, Adnams, Harvey's and one other I can't recall, all priced @ £2.50-£2.70; all draught beers have their prices clearly displayed on the pump clip/font. My pint of Harvey's was fresh and well-kept. Ample seating areas sprawl away to both sides, and on a Thursday lunchtime most tables were occupied. If I was looking for words to describbe the overall feel of the place I'd probably use "bland", "corporate", "contemporary"; although if that sounds a bit uncomplimentary I have to say the place looked clean and smart and fairly tastefully decorated - on the whole a bit like an upmarket Wetherspoon's, without the accompanying 'Spoons underclass. worth stopping off if you're passing, but not really worth going out of your way to visit.

| Smashing food at a good price. Decor is really nice, log fire's on the burn. Had a few pints of Worthington White Shield and it done the job. Good service and nice atmosphere. Defo going back Rangers_Tel - 4 Jan 2011 10:36 |
