Taken to this PH by friends. It lacked atmosphere staff were polite, the food was very average and over priced £9.50 for two tiny slivers of cheese 4 tiny slices of toast and a teaspoon of chutney is in my opinion taking the P. would have complained but were with friends who recommended it Eddieg5483 - 15 Apr 2013 16:10 |
Pleasant busy pub somewhat lacking in ale selection. ericstadd - 1 Mar 2012 20:39 |
Pleasant bar but avoid the food. Overpriced and really rather naff! dpaajones - 7 Sep 2011 08:18 |
As others have said, it's not a bad pub, though I'd agree that it can't seem to make up it's mind whether it actually wants to be a restaurant, a pub or a wine bar. Anyway, It's certainly better than the Cos bar next door. That said, in my opinion, the beer is not actually up to much. I don't have a problem with Fullers pubs (or beers) but the ale here just doesn't seem right to me....more of a keg texture to it, although its' pulled from a hand pump. Certainly, The Blackfriar down the road has a far better range and in much better condition. Still, it's an ok place if you need an "all things to all men" type of pub/bar and for a pub, they do have a decent selection of wines. Cover_Point - 20 Aug 2010 12:36 |
I've worked within 15 minutes of this place for eight years now, but unaccountably had never visited it until recently. It isn't bad: a Fuller's house that is positioned somewhere between pub and bar. Two ales on handpump: Pride and Discovery, and the Discovery went down very nicely. On a hot summer evening there is a nice space in the (traffic-free) street outside, making this a decent place to drink in the area. grecian - 1 Jul 2010 13:34 |
