| This is a Greene King Hungrey Horse pub and not bad at all. Only ales on sale on my visit last Saturday were IPA, Abbott & Old Speckled Hen. I had a nice pint of Hen @ £2.90 but when I went for another it was off as was the Abbott which means IPA that was coming up like milk for the last customer before me. Poor show in my book. Had a bottle of hen for £2.95 bjbrummiejohn - 16 Jan 2013 08:27 |
| Over the past 18 months i have visited the pub on 6 occasions. The first time was fine my children and i were blown away by the tv booth and the childrens play area. Therefore I award the one star rating. The food taste like frozen microwave food which can be a great cheap option to real pub grub we were not really bothered. However, when it arrived uncooked and rock hard I take exception. They are also guaranteed to mess up your order because the ordering system is fundamentally flawd because its understaffed. You could be waiting 90 minutes for desert, which could be off the menu anyway, I kid you not. It happened. Furthermore, staff are actively encouraged to insult articulate black customers who point out customer relations and systems failures. You know that � I can understand what your saying� are you speaking English thing they do. Then the classic shaking of the head as if to say whats wrong with these people are they mad�. Like keeping one child waiting 45 min after his friends at a kids party is acceptable. Then blaming the customer for not understanding that if you place order together but pay separately you risk orders arriving 45 min later. I guess they feel black people should now their place and hold there tung. They are completely tolerant to racism they actually threw out and band black customers because they did not like them complaining about the ordering system, service and raw food. Be aware you could get insulted as a side order to drinks and food. Freespeak - 26 Sep 2012 08:18 |
| I have never in my life writtern a review about any pub or resturant, however given the way in which we were treated by a rude and racist land lord I feel compelled to make others aware. As a group of over 27 year old responsible professionals all with ID we were turned away from this pub for no other reason than the colour of our skin. It is such a shame as the star has so much potential, but obviously the landlord restricts his service for a certain people. Utterly disturbed this still happens today. truth_speaker - 21 Feb 2011 20:06 |
| Family friendly pub during the day. The place is bland and plastic but quite comfortable and with plenty of space. Standard pub grub, with a 25% off voucher by the door. The main bar presents with a range of keg lagers, though at the side there are three casks, including Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The staff were friendly and helpful. This is not a top quality character pub, but is clean and tidy and serves a purpose. We felt comfortable bringing in our 18 month old, and found the child chairs at the entrance. An OK place during the day to stop with a child for a drink and simple food. SilkTork - 16 Oct 2010 18:24 |
