| Surprised to find it so quiet upon entering but perhaps it's because it doesn't offer a view of anything other than a road. Or maybe it's because the Morland Original lost its condition very quickly, the beer range is uninspiring (Tribute, OSH and London Glory also on sale), the cider choice is almost non-existent (someone tell them that bottled Rekorderlig doesn't count as a cider) and its quite expensive. Nice looking inside and out though. paul_d102 - 5 Jun 2017 19:36 |
| I normally steer clear of Greedy King pubs as the choice of ales are poor and not very tasty, but I was pleasantly surprised with the not so usual GK suspects here. Woodforde's Nelson's Revenge, Morland Original, Old Nutty Hen (a must try beer) and Old Gold from Belhaven. I was really looking forward to the Old Gold. Doh! This has to be one of the worst beers ever produced. It was so vinegary I thought it was off, but the bar staff told me it should taste like that. I wasn't the first to comment about it. They were kind enough to change it for me for the Nelson - very good of them. Good food at reasonable prices. fugglehops - 6 Oct 2016 21:04 |
| Large imposiing old street-corner building which is now part of the Greene King hotels chain. It has been modernised but still has something of the old charm of a bygone era about it. We sat in the spacious bar area which was comfortably furnished and quite "genteel". Friendly barmaid who offered us a selection of 6 beers which included a couple of GK products as well as as guest ales. Both our beers were in good condition (Cask Marque) and although this is not a "pub" it is the kind of place you could take the wife and inlaws to ! mcroyal - 12 Apr 2014 13:08 |
| Hotel bar with the emphasis on food which looked pretty good, they did have a good selection of real ale on, 4 i think with a couple from smaller breweries. Tried a beer from the Dark Star brewery which was very good. The bar area was very well decorated and it has a outside drinking area witha lot of benches and tables available. Pleasant and efficient bar staff. beershot - 2 Sep 2013 14:56 |
| In spite of the claim of an "ever changing range of personally selected real ales", two of the three ales were from Greene King. Hardly surprising since this is a Greene King pub! No one who knows anything about beer would ever deliberately choose Greene King ales - I think the claim about the ales is rather misleading. Service and atmosphere on the whole pretty good though.
