It's a decent pub that we found a good table in on a Sunday afternoon. The world cup was playing on multiple screens, so seems a great place to watch sports when they're showing. The tables were quite sticky, the bar and server staff are friendly and welcoming.
The drink and particularly the beer/ale selection was extensive, but we weren't told of a long wait when ordering food - we enquired how much longer we'd have to wait after 30 mins or so |(we waited about 45 mins in the end). They were short staffed so completely happy to wait, but it would have been better to manage our expectation when ordering.
The food was disappointing, I had the hunters (BBQ?) chicken which came out barely warm - it looked like it had been under a heat lamp and then cooled down (including the salad), so not appetising at all. I would have sent it back but the thought of the poor person on their own in the kitchen put me off. If you can't get decent food out in good time, you should probably stop the service.
The toilets were clean but to not have any soap available is pretty bad (one dispenser was empty the other was broken).
I'd pop in here for a drink again probably but would steer clear...
Read moreMy 25th birthday celebration at this pub was not just a disaster but also a glaring example of a complete lack of decency. Despite generous spending and hefty tips, we were treated like unwelcome guests and summarily shown the door after only four hours. The utter indifference of the staff to my special occasion was not just disappointing but downright shocking.
What's even more appalling is that the staff made derogatory remarks about my kind companion, solely because he suffers from a rare form of dwarfism – something entirely beyond his control. Discrimination based on physical characteristics is not only unacceptable but utterly shameful for an establishment that claims to be hospitable.
The heartless treatment we experienced, especially directed at my companion, not only reveals a lack of any professional decency but also underscores the pub's disregard for genuine hospitality. In a place where respect and acceptance are absent, my recommendation is crystal clear: Avoid this establishment, which evidently behaves disrespectfully not only towards its guests but also towards ethical principles. A total fiasco and a place I wouldn't even recommend to my...
Read moreA fine pub for a pint and some sports, but the food is positively atrocious. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised by the poor quality of the food at pub like this, but I was tricked by the menu - a blatant example of false advertising about which the owners and managers should feel ashamed.
The food that arrived from the kitchen is a far cry from what I was expecting…or promised. The chicken chorizo club was pretty much inedible, comprised of masses of cheap, spongy white bread, overladen with low-grade mayonnaise and colourless slabs of something that barely resembled meat and veg. I should have known better than to order that "super food salad", but impressed by the menu's description of "pomegranate pearls, edamame beans, beetroot, chiili-slaw [sic], onion, coriander, vine tomato & mixed leaves..." I decided to give it a go. I’m pretty sure the “cook” hasn’t read the menu, because what arrived to my table was nothing more than limp lettuce, shaved carrots, chopped cabbage, and a few pinkish tomatoes. No "pomegranate pearls”. No “edamame beans”. Not a speck of “beetroot”.
Go for the TVs, spend your money on...
