| Food is good (it is more restaurant than pub though) Take the missus or your parents for a civilised dinner- recommended. This is not really a pub anymore BarmingBloke - 26 Oct 2010 14:06 |
| After the ear-bleeding row of the Bull, the Redstart was a refreshing change. Clean, bright and airy, with Harveys and Spitifre on tap. Attractive ladies behind the bar, TV in the corner with the sound down, quiet music and the sound of people chatting normally. It reminded me of a European type bar. Immaculate loos. We were also brought a free plate of roast potatoes. Brilliant! We like the place and will go again. Paul_Rochdale - 21 Jun 2010 08:43 |
| I have subsequently discovered that the strangely tatty atmosphere on which I previously commented rather favourably was because the pub was in a state of limbo, awaiting a major makeover, which has now taken place. It's all been done in the best possible taste, but frankly I preferred it the way it was in September. earlydrinker - 6 Jan 2010 22:06 |
| I used to use this pub quite a bit, but I hadn't been in for some time when I visited earlier this year. Quite a change. The place had become decidedly tattier, but in a strangely attractive way.The interior seemed curiously at odds with the outside (which is classic 1930s). Pleasant, friendly and slightly weird atmosphere (or perhaps it was just me). I can't remember what the beer was, but it was OK. Odd. I rather like it. earlydrinker - 10 Sep 2009 19:06 |
