Always brilliant food especially the burgers. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly
This place always has a buzz if conversation and great atmosphere. Great choice of ales and well kept. Generally it's dark with candlelight.
First time there and I won't be returning. Had really high hopes, but the food and the service were really poor. We ended up leaving pretty quickly and all of us went somewhere else. Was also made to feel very uncomfortable. It seems like it has great potential, but if your face doesn't fit, then you'll definitely know about it.
Burger with Stilton needs more can't really taste
Husband asked the barmaid about menus at the bar, where he was served a pint. He hadn't paid for it before sitting down, which would seem to indicate that it was going to go on the food bill. We briefly read through the menu under very dim lighting conditions & quickly chose a couple of burgers at £10 each. When I went to order them, I was told that the kitchen had closed. I had to wait for my husband to rush his £4.70 pint of Amstel before walking to find another pub which served food (Swan in the Rushes, which wasn't as nice inside, but the lighting allowed one to see & the homemade burgers were surprisingly good).
For a drink before moving on to a restaurant, this place is unusual. It has a great range of ales, and the service was friendly and prompt. The whole place, though, was noisy. Everyone was shouting, disrespecting neighbouring tables conversations. One table of 3 ladies, in particular, offended us with their shrieking and shouting. This is no way to behave and unfortunately typifies this place. Hence, it is rare that we drink here unless it's a quiet time. The management should really address this issue.
Excellent, as always, our first visit since the floods. It's great to see it open. Food and drinks..... lovely.
