| Six years on and what a difference. The pub has had a refurbish and an extension following a fire. New landlord and landlady are in place and what a smashing couple they are. Considering we had only just met he was very interested in my real ale preferences. The Citra Chaos (£3.90) was the freshest pint I have ever had (third one pulled from a new barrel). The landlord is hoping to get a guest ale in place (not easy to achieve in a Mac's pub). The menu is limited but not pricey. The landlady/chef is very interested in customers feedback, mine was, it makes a nice change for food to be served on a hot plate. I can't believe I have said all this about a McMullen pub - not like me at all! fugglehops - 3 Jun 2018 21:43 |
| The 'CAMRA' brigade wrote how impressed they were with six hand pumps on the bar and Mac's allowing guest beers along with AK etc. Not so when I called in. AK, Cask and Doom Bar was the limited choice. Prices are high, The Doom was �3.45 and the Wadworth 6X (coming later) �3.70. Food wise, the limited menu's tag line says, 'If you don't see it please ask'. They should change it to, 'Even if you see it: Don't ask'. Omelette was not on the menu so I asked the Landlord if the chef could make one for me? No, chef couldn't. Instead I chose the Chicken Pie with vegetables - which was on the menu. "Sorry we have no veg'" I was told. (this was Saturday lunchtime for goodness sake). I accepted the offer of chips and baked beans. The pie was small and the plate was cold. Another meal we had was the Chicken Tikka with Naan bread. Half-an-hour after ordering we were informed there was no Naan bread. No alternative was offered nor price reduction. TIP: You won't need your Credit or Visa card, not because it is cheap - they do not accept them. It is pubs like these that make Wetherspoons look good - just. fugglehops - 1 Jul 2012 19:15 |
| Recently refurbished landlord (!). Nice friendly, local pub. Good solid food and guest ales. Jumpy - 6 Jun 2012 22:06 |
| This is a classic local pub in Bengeo. The beer is excellent, as one would expect from a McMullen pub less than a mile from the brewery, but that is about it. It would appear that the tennants and the regulars are both happy to maintain the status quo. smiley2204 - 8 Mar 2006 12:18 |
