| Confirm that this has been a Greek restaurant for some time now. arkman43 - 15 May 2011 14:52 |
| How not to run a good pub to the wall! Don't take a pub on the outskirts of town, one with a good reputation for quality of its steak and try to turn it into an upmarket restaurant. Don't refurbish the pub in a "modern" so called "contemporary" style, as such style quickly becomes dated in a very uncharming way. Don't refurbish the pub in a so called "contemporary" style that was on its way out ten years ago. Don't discourage your drinking customers as they are the ones that may be eating later, next week, next month, telling friends, keeping your business afloat when you're quite etc. Don't constantly serve vinegar for beer, and certainly don't keep the beer on sale when you have been alerted to it; how can you be trusted to advise me on what I might like to eat if you don't know what vinegar tastes like. Don't charge higher prices than a classy bistro when you are not in a prime location. Don't charge high prices for your food and then put meal photograph advertisments on the outside of your pub that make your pub look like you are a "two for one" "bottom end of the market" food pub. Don't keep buying signs, it is not the lack of signs that is stopping people coming in. Haven't been in for ages, isn't it a Greek restaurant now. Sad! but probably better than a juvenile delinquents idea of a gastly gastropub. Billycheer - 3 Oct 2010 14:01 |
| This was another recommendation from a local, but it was a great disappointment. We were told the steaks were excellent, but mine was like eating a flip-flop -far too chewy and tasted awful. Only one ale on - Slaters - which was OK but not spectacular. The place was far too quiet, and the staff, while pleasant and helpful, seemed a bit uncomfortable in their jobs. While I wouldn't delibeartely avoid the place, I don't want to eat there again and I don't really think it's worth spendign a whole evening there. May be OK for a quick pint whiel waiting for a train, but then there are a few pubs here which meet that criterion. ETA - 25 Jun 2009 09:35 |
