| Definitely not a drinkers' pub, but the food's very good. Mostly reserved tables unless you're outside or come in during the day. Beer's good too, but you might have to stand up. dbfreedom - 26 Jul 2012 12:59 |
| Popped in here for lunch the ther day. Nice pint of butcombe and the food was excellent quality, if a little pricey. I understand what other posters are saying - this is veering more towards a restaurant that serves beer, but I have to say I liked it and so did the in-laws! copnorsteve - 16 Sep 2011 15:51 |
| Went along knowing what to expect. This was a gastro-pub .. so we were went for food, rather than for a few quiet beers. But the food was a let-down considering the price (and the awards they have supposedly won). Won't be going back. Try the Hop Pole instead! sfb - 8 Jul 2011 16:02 |
| Quite when an establishment crosses the line between gastro-pub and restaurant I�m not sure, but this place must be perilously close to the latter. On a recent Saturday evening visit, every single table was reserved for diners, so if you just wanted a beer your only option was to sit at the bar or go outside in to the attractive courtyard. That said, it may well of course be different at other times. It�s a little walk from the city centre, but in a pleasant spot just around the corner from the Royal Crescent and opposite the golf course. Now that I�ve set the scene, I shall just add that it was decked out in fairly typical gastro-pub fashion, with reclaimed wooden boards on the floor, green painted wooden panels on the lower half of the walls with white plasterwork above, candles on all the tables and various artwork on the walls, much of it for sale. You get the picture I�m sure. Staff all seemed friendly and helpful. We were looking to eat, but hadn�t reserved a table (it is a pub after all). However, as we were quite early, they managed to fit us in with the proviso that we were finished by 8:30 which was fair enough. Food was very good and we enjoyed what we had, but it�s clearly not your usual �pub grub�. With most of the starters being around �7.50 and main courses �15 or so, the bill soon adds up. But if that�s what you�re after, I�d recommend it. Beers on tap were Butcombe and Brakespears. There was also a pump for Timothy Taylor Landlord, although this appeared to have run out. The solitary cider was Addlestones. Blackthorn - 13 Jun 2011 11:02 |
| Used to be a Punch Taverns house. Now a Free House. At least things are going in the right direction! The_Final_Arbiter - 2 Sep 2009 16:27 |
