I like the Metropolitan generally, but unless you get there early, avoid on a Friday and Saturday night, it's far too packed and it takes a while to get served but i guess that's the price for popularity.

If you love pubs, you probably won't love the Metropolitan. It's a giant newly renovated expensive impersonal chain pub for groups of young singles. They seem to drive from miles around to stand around gawping at each other (and you when you go in). Prices are worthy of London.
If you love pubs you're better off with the Railway over the road

I am at a loss to understand how this place gets awards. The building is impressive, and they have an open family policy, which is always popular, but the food is truly dreadful and overpriced, and it is very impersonal, with staff who seem to think they are far too important to be working there.

The worst thing about it is that the food is so awful. I have been there more often than I want to (with work people) and I can't think of one time over the last five years or so when I had a meal there that wasn't either cold, tasteless, overcooked, or just plain inedible.

Hmmm...dissappointing to say the least. Overpriced and with little to no atmosphere. I found this sadly pretentious and it is not the kind of place you would go if you are interested in getting a decent, reasonably priced pint and a bag of crisps that don't cost near to £1 a bag!

Got home on Saturday night to find my pregnant partner craving orange juice. With the local tesco being closed already I opted to go to the Met to see if they would be so kind to sympathise with my situation. They offered me one carton at a price of £2.40!...

I know its a business but that took the biscuit.

Get your act together Met!...have a heart!
