Oh dear!
not a good place to go now, food has gone down hill and you may find hair in your meal.
There is no longer an 'adult area' so kids run riot in the bar.
I did complain to the manager and was told that they cannot discriminate against children, so you cant enjoy a quiet drink.
Very sad.

Typical brewers Fayre pub. The food is cheap and tastes worse than a supermarket ready meal. Huge garden for kids to run around in. Bargain basement to take a family for a meal out. Not really a choice of drinkers.

This place should be on foodinthevening instead of here as it has never since being converted from a farm ever fealt like a pub.
Originally it felt like an extension of the Dukes family front room with all thier friends drinking in it, everyone else were just an inconvenience.
Once they sold it for a couple of million it became nothing but a food place.
Never had and never will have a true pub atmosphere.
on a side note, if you fancy a cheap meal after work instead of cooking this could be the place for you.

This is, and always has been, a not too good pub. Poor beer, awful decor, and not the greatest layout. For a pub that was whacked up in the 80's, they could of done a better job.

FYI its the spunkey monkey and it might be cheap but isn't that what Ftown is all about?

This pub has to serve some of the worst food I've ever eaten in such a venue. Due to this, we haven't returned in ages. The garden is huge and lovely on a warm day, however it is *not* the kind of place to have a quiet pint and chat as it fills with loads of energetic children. The beautiful tree for which the pub was named has been removed.

The London Pride tasted insipid. The food is indifferent, they serve some small black spherical objects called stuffing balls. The vegetables are counted out using the fingers of one hand - 5 french beans, 5 pieces of carrot, 3 small potatoes. Supposedly child friendly but one of the waitresses nearly fell over a small child on several occasions and would probably have happily murdered the rugrat.

Lovingly referred to as the "Spunky Muzzle" (see what we did there?). Great pub to watch the footy in, as they've got some decent screens but also plenty of room for people who don't want to watch it (so they don't get in the way).
Good pub quiz on a Tuesday night, although this does cause a little annoyance with the football crowd if it overlaps with a European game (as they have to turn the TV volumes down). Still, the quiz is always a good laugh and well worth it.
They serve London Pride, which always gets my vote, although there are few other decent beers on tap.
Food is the usual Brewers Fair stuff, inexpensive but tasty.
Oh, and they've cut the Monkey Puzzle tree down in the garden. I don't think they're changing the name of the pub just yet though.

Inexpensive to eat and quality probably better than you would expect for the price. Beware! Large garden, lots of screaming kids on Sunny Days.
|
Brewers Fayre, so food decent and not too expensive. Large outside eating area and non-smoking option make it a decent lunchtime visit.

Bar at the Brewers Fayre. London Pride has always been good when I've visited. Large outdoor seating area (with the monkey puzzle tree of the name). Seems popular as a pub as well as a restaurant.
