Good pub food in a nice little strip of establishments. Friendly, efficient service. Welcoming atmosphere. Lots of variety in side orders and in types of seating available. Family friendly, njoyed our dinner with a bit of Wimbledon just before the FIFA match. Some construction going on in the area, mostly diverting pedestrian traffic.

The Guinness was very good. But I made the basic mistake of not ordering pub food. I went for the sirloin steak platter and the meat looked and tasted like lab grown meat. The rocket was served without any oil or vinegar. The chips were good.

I loved everything about the place: the atmosphere on a day week evening where students surrounded us. Not a place where many tourists go. I took my daughter there to feel as if I was still studying there. I had my pie 🥧with beef and ale and loved it. Yummy 😋 Then man at the bar where I ordered was so kind, kind like you hardly find in France. He had me taste a light beer and had me convinced into going for it. Of course, I thought of Thomas Hardy which made the experience feel even more special and moving.

I am sat at one of the few in reserved tables, on a Monday night. Must remember to pre book next time.
I love my ale. I wasn't disappointed.
Absolutely loved the place. Quiz night every Monday. Plan ahead. Enjoy.

I took my two daughters out to this restaurant this evening. We were tossing around a couple of different options that were close to our Airbnb.

The atmosphere was created by and filled with locals the service although you had to order at the bar, it was delivered by the waitress. Very friendly very engaging. It’s a place where you feel good about eating.

I ordered the fish and chips and they were delicious. More fish than chips, but that was fine as well. The food was hot when it came to your table. Now both of my girls enjoyed their meals as well. I did sample the rice and it was very tasty.

Always been a fan of Greene King pubs. As they are always presented well inside and out.

Steak and Ale Pie was absolutely delicious and very filling, highly recommend. Dog friendly, have dog water bowls and treats. Asked for an individual burger for her, not a problem. Great staff.

Great street full of restaurants. Cafes and other pubs
