| Many are wondering if this pub's name is now appropriate. tradervic - 14 Jun 2020 14:37 |
| One of those gastropubs which overdoes the eating at the expense of the drinking and really, the burgers on offer, while appearing to be perfectly decent, don't justify all the white furnishings and flashiness. A pint from Wisbech's Elgood's stable did go down well and our sitting at the bar without eating was tolerated without quibble. BoehmBawerk - 2 Mar 2014 18:58 |
| Still have high hopes for this place but my visits here have been disapointing. Food OK but not as good as they seem to think it is, beer not prominant (but beer festival coming soon so lets see) and atmosphere lacking. For a pint try the White Hart 50 yds away, sorry but its much better for drinking. stevet650 - 14 Aug 2009 22:19 |
| A fairly down-at-heel boozer that's been tarted up into a gastro-pub. Unfortunately it's not been done with any great taste or imagination - basically the bar's been painted white, there's awful white flock wallpaper, and a ghastly seventies-style plastic lampshade in the middle of the ceiling. Food was reasonable, although limited choice - the steak and chips were good (but no veg!), but the chocolate mousse was much too thin in consistency and a very small portion. Beer was reasonable but can't imagine anyone going here in the evenings if they just want a drink. discerningdan - 26 Feb 2009 22:54 |
| Went to (sadly empty) reopening and had steak and chips like the last poster. 10/10 for the food one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Only had Old Speckled Hen on (which was fine) but promised there was another ale coming soon. With a couple more ales and a few more punters this will be a pretty good pub. RKN - 8 Oct 2008 14:42 |
