| Quite right - it is a hotel so I'll dispense with that aspect first. Clean, comfortable rooms, polite attentive staff who could come from Mars for all I care. Reasonable prices. Always happy to stay at this or any other of the Old English franchise. Pub bit. Not so good. Greene King ales are not the greatest in my opinion and there was not even a decent guest ale so I was stuck with Abbot. Menu is hearty with pretentions to gastro which the Greene King central kitchen can't really pull off. You won't starve but it won't rock your world either. There is fortunately a decent Italian place just up the road. Breakfast is a rather sad buffet affair with crusted scrambled eggs, undercooked bacon and 'Tiger Tank' sausages (skin virtually impenetrable!!) Definitely needs work on the catering side hence my low score. Incidentally all credit to the lads at Central Tyres for getting the Rev out of the s*** late on a Saturday afternoon.

| Great jazz on the last Wednesday evening of the month. Except for December, when the date is brought forward. Bar prices are high, but this is an hotel, not a pub. The manager seems to change too frequently to make any great improvement in the standard of service offered. I would not go there, but for the jazz nights! anonymous - 29 Nov 2006 10:37 |
| No atmosphere and staff inscrutable for the most part, rather than actually unfriendly. The bar advertises that it stays open until 11.30 pm, but beware! If the manager fancies going home home early one night, he'll shut the bar at 11 pm without calling last orders, then try to spin some other yarn as an excuse. Worth avoiding - there are plenty of decent pubs in Alton. peewit - 30 Oct 2006 15:03 |
