The Grouse and Ale, Lane End

Great ambience, super-delicious food with excellent variety on menu and friendly, courteous and quick service. No surprise that this pub won the Gastropub 2010 award. The pub itself has comfortable, old tavern furnishings with interesting bits and pieces around. What a welcome change from sterile designer settings! We had the steak pie- packed with tender meat- + really fresh veggies and fish - thick white inside and crispy delicious batter- and chips. Other more adventurous fare looks equally excellent. Joy and Carlos are excellent hosts. Service fast and courteous, even though huge party had arrived before us so we expected to have to wait but got starters and drinks within minutes of sitting down.
