Review:

This pub is located in a prime spot on the Green – about 2 minutes walk from the underground. It’s open from 9.30 for breakfast and goes on till midnight at the weekend.

It is well patronised. When I got there around 2pm, it was packed. I had haddock and chips at £10.05 – it was very good (portion, presentation and taste) but someone on my table thought that his fish was a bit damp in the middle.

My other friends shared a cote de boeuf for 2 at £32 (Chateaubriand price). The beef was well cooked and look very nice but the outer meat had been removed which only leaves the rib eye. Excluding the bone, I think that there were around 12oz of meat which in my view was expensive and not big enough for 2. They were also mean on the fat chips with the steak.

A very interesting wine list which was the longest that I have ever seen in a pub. There were also an interesting range of real ales including a mild – don’t see this very often.

Good atmosphere.
