The Robin Hood, Sutton

Are some of those that have posted recent comments change haters or mates of Ken?
The gentle and quite background music is a pleasant improvement. The people who cooked the food previously are the same people doing the cooking today. The menu is varied and an improvement on the previous �bought-in� curry�s and the �Today�s Special� of Corned Beef sandwich under Ken. Noticed they are also using fresh rather than frozen vegetables. The price of beer has not changed at all since Ken�s departure. In fact the Robin is probably the only pub in the area that hasn�t put beer up following the VAT increase. Not saying it�s cheap as it�s not, but is false to claim that the prices are now ridiculous. The police have been called only once to remove an intoxicated and abusive customer, the matter being dealt with in minutes. I was in the pub at the time and didn�t even notice they had been. The number of customers now visiting the Robin has significantly increased since Ken has left. This is a combination of old regulars returning and a more �grateful� service � no longer get chairs stacked on tables the second the last bell tolls. Even get an extension to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays now. Ken�s gone, a nice bloke but sometimes a rude landlord who obviously failed to deliver. The number of customers dropping over the last couple of years proving fatal. Onwards and upwards � well done so far Adam.
