The Young's Special was as good as I remember it when I lived in South London. Ordered the sausage and mash - not for those with an appetite. Two very small sausages and a dollop of mash the size of your fist. All for £6 +. Poor value for money and quite honestly a rip off at that price.

Town centre pub nice for a quick drink and a bowl of chips but not a lot more. I previously visited for sunday roast for a large family party and was disappointed.

we went along to try the pub quiz on Wednesday night & stopped off for some dinner while we were there. The food is reasonably priced and well cooked from a varied menu. We had a real laugh doing the quiz & will definately be back again in the near future.

Great pub, lovely garden, good drinks range, if not a little on expensive side, but great late night place midweek for a chill out

I was slightly apprehensive going there after reading some of the reviews, but it was enjoyable. The staff was very friendly. The place looked great, esp. a chill out zone outside, and the food did not disappoint.

My/Our regular lunchtime haunt for escape from the office once a week. Alcohol is pricey but being lunchtime visits from work this does not overly worry me/us, the bar food is lovely and the staff are incredibly friendly. Will continue to use as the lunchtime local for the foreseeable future.

We made a point of visiting this Pub, being only a slight distance from the city centre. They had a BQQ going in the beer garden which I gather occurs every Saturday throughout summer. We had two pints of Doom Bar ale and a half pint of Coke which came to around £9.60 which we thought was a bit pricey... More
