Awesome pub with very friendly staff , great food, great Bloody Marys , great Eggs Benedict, great music playing in the background. I could literally live here!

Hena Hashmi

Fixed price menu is great value but not great food. Fish pie was quite dry, and sausages seemed like economy range. But salted chocolate tart is proper yummy. And vibe is nice.

Hans Kestler

Come on a Sunday they have a special menu. Had the pork loin , with mac and cheese and cauliflower/cheese. Sides were plenty to share. Reasonable price. Excellent quality.

Armando Liussi Depaoli

Good polled pork pie , good beers ! (veggies also)

Mah Carvalho

Friendly staff , good beers and amazing scotch egg .

Norman McLeod

Lovely bar , not rammed with tourists as you might have thought given the location. Seems like a decent local with a few nice beers on tap . Bit pricey though.

Eric C

Proper English pub . Sit by the fireplace and have a pint of cask ale .

Olly Newport

After complaining about a severely burnt roast, we were offered the food for free and two drinks. Excellent and polite service .

Sami Westwood

Inflexible re dietary requirements. Served risotto with cream when specified I was vegan , without advising they could not adapt dish.

Igor S

Try Australian Shiraz , it's great here!

Olly Newport

If you enjoy your food being burnt to a crisp then by all means this pub is for you. Don't want a charcoal black pile of rubble & instead want something cooked properly, staff policy I'm afraid.

Teo Ardoy

Nice beer , great food.

Justin Goring

Order two rounds at a time as it gets busy. But the food is good.

Peter Sigrist

Order the pork pie with piccalilli - you won't be sorry!

Karl Gilbert

Try the Fru-Garden (half Fruli and half Hoegaarden) lovely...

Panagiotis Pomonis

Try the chilean sauvignon blanc

Jerome Poulain

Super slow service and very difficult to catch their attention. One way is to call the waiter by telephone but even that sometimes doesn't work! It is sad because it could be a good place

Andy C

Really pleasant place! Great service and fun atmosphere !

Nik Skavinsky

Spent half an hour waiting for service. Left really angry. The worst place to go, really. Just change your mind and go to McDonald's, which is way more friendly than this hole.

Julian Lim

Fish and chips here's kick ass

Monsieur D.

Go to the Volunteer on Sunday morning and enjoy the full english breakfast
