The Vine, Hillingdon

I never used to go into this pub until it was taken over a couple years ago. The new manager has really improved things. Before she took over, I was told that the pub was full of rowdy people (mostly men) with pool tables and sports which adds to a rowdy atmosphere. I cannot comment on the old managers running of The Vine but I have only had one bad experience since they left and the staff dealt with it superbly and I left not feeling one bit angry. I have also recommended many of my friends and family to go here too.

The food is lovely. Yes maybe the prices are more than your "local" pub but I'm sure I'm not the only person who is willing to pay a bit more for good food.
I also enjoy going in with the girlies for a bottle of wine in the evening as the atmosphere created is lovely and always makes me want to return.

As for those who believe this pub is "chav-city" (no offence intended) they should revisit The Vine in order to see that this is not the case anymore. The pool tables have been gone for over two years now so no more rudeness you'd get!

All in all, this pub is one of the best in the area and I would choose to come here first over anywhere else in the area and will continue to do so!
