| My wife and I passed this pub a number of times during our recent stay in Gloucester and thought that this would be a nice place to eat and hopefully find a nice pint. I visited their website and upon finding that it had been awarded a CAMRA Pub of the Season award I thought we should investigate further. I have to say that the food was rather nice (although not that special). But that, I'm afraid, is where my positive comments end. The beer was quite substandard for a CAMRA rated pub. My first pint was a rather mediocre Buttcombe Bitter followed by a pint of Jouster which was cloudy and yeasty - so bad that at this point I left half of my pint and went to pay the bill. This is where the poor service really showed up! We had been at the pub for just over an hour and the bill (2 fish & chips, 2 pints and 1 G&T) came to �37.90!!! After checking the bill it turns out that I was charged for drinks that I hadn't ordered. I was offered a half-hearted apology and refunded the difference. It was only later that I realised that I was also charged for other items that I had not actually ordered, but by this time it was too late. The whole experience left me feeling rather cheated - I would certainly not recommend this pub to anyone!!! BeerMonster040 - 5 May 2011 20:27 |
| The food was pretty good but the service was very disappointing. Our waitress forgot about us completely after the main course. After spending 20 mins waiting for drinks and dessert menus to arrive, we finally just paid the bill (without a tip, which is very unusual for us) and left, with a bad taste in our mouths. Shame really, it all started so well and we thought we'd found a little gem. robfrombredon - 31 Oct 2009 21:40 |
