The Druids Arms — Restaurant in England

Arrived at 7pm with my boyfriend for a quick bite before meeting friends. Seemed alright, atmosphere ok. ordered two mains and 2 sides.

it got to about 8pm when the bar man asked if we had eaten. we said no. It turned out the order had not been put through. Annoying, but fair enough, these things happen. We were given a free drink each.

Finally at about 8.30 the food arrived. We were starving. It looked unappetising, brisket looked like school dinner beef,stone cold. ribs were peculiar and hard, fried chicken was burnt. they told us at the table as the food arrived that they actually didnt have any onion strips, did we want something else on the side? no, not really. They forgot to bring the sauces we had ordered. The chef apologised about the wait.

We took out first bite. after waiting for so long it was just the most absolutely disappointing meal ever. The chef asked if it was ok and we said, honestly, no. We asked for our money back. He got in a huff and stormed off. the next thing we knew, a waitress was taking the plates away from under our noses. In all honesty we were going to pick at a few chips before we left, but this was not allowed.

Jolly place to nip into, if you're shopping in London Road, or, down by the level. Dartboard too, but, too close to the entrance! £4 a pint... Not too bad for the location!! Well worth a visit, though, the gents loo could do with a lock on the door!!? 🤣🔒🚪Don't let the petty criticisms put you off... I still enjoyed...

Was walking to the station when we passed by to see their '3 shots for £10' promo. We were there early evening so unsure if it was open or not, and tried opening the door to see it was shut. I was shy to disturb to be honest but the person inside came over and called us back to say they just opened!! Was a super sweet person with great knowledge of alcohol and liquers. As we were the only people there we had a really nice chat with the guy and even let us try a beer. Totally worth missing the earlier train and what a nice way to end our trip to Brighton (of course, with our tuaca...
