The one less star is for the mixed grill.
There's a fine line between cooking meat so customers can enjoy it and lobbing meat on a flame grill until obliterated beyond all taste.
All meat was dry, overcooked, thin and foul to eat. Avoid it.
(I asked for a rare steak and I'd rather have been told the truth that the slice of steak is as "thin as bacon" and comes 'as is' rather than receiving what looked like last the petrified remains of last Christmases abandoned gingerbread house.....sigh, I was so excited for it too. No matter.
Buttermilk chicken burger is delicious though. Deffo have that, I've had a couple.
They sold out of neaps on burns week. Little disappointing but no big deal.
I eat and drink here regularly. It's not great but it's ok and it's cheap.
I was allowed to try a couple before I bought and settled on the Eagle APA, (would recommend!).
The pub/restaurant was clean with some interesting artefacts on the walls. The frontage is impressive and looks like a country pub despite the concrete jungle.
I sat in the conservatory which was well lit due to the amount of glass. Not too impressed with the shields though!
