Profile information
Simply here for the beer and food. Interested in locating pubs that are pleasant, good value and comfortable and if they do food doesn't travel from factory to freezer to microwave or combination oven.
At least since the smoking ban all pub interiors have a breathable atmosphere.

The latest refurb seems to be taking if further from a relaxed country pub. Inside it's gone modern with most laid out as a restaurant with bookable table (Ok for a restaurant, but this is a pub!).
The beers seem better than before - with T.E.A. available, which was nice. But the previously home-mixed fresh fruit juices seem to have been replaced by standard bottled overpriced J2Os etc. When we went for lunch there were no sandwiches, the food had rocketed in price - now a bowl of "Belgian Frites" costs �3 and seems to be a small bowl of bog standard frozen chips with a dollop of mayonnaise!
Bar service off hand and bar staff as scarce as before so it can take ages to get a drink at the bar. We deliberately asked for one snack early (before the crowds and as one person needed to head off soon) and they were about 10 minutes late. As I believe the food is mostly premade and delivered from a central factory, there really was no excuse for this.
