| - This is pub located near where I live. Driven and walked by it many times, always buzzing with people, but never really been until about a couple months ago when I had some friends from out of town visit.
The staff was very approachable; we were seated right away and presented with menus quickly. We sat near the back, on high tables. I thought the stool style chair was going to be uncomfortable but my butt was fine.
I ordered the fish and chips, while my friend ordered a chicken salad. Here is why I ended up giving the place three stars--my fish and chips were absolutely fantastic. Light crispy batter, flaky fish that was moist. Fantastic crunchy hand cut fries. Fatty tar tar sauce and fatty coleslaw. What could be better, right?
Well, the salad for starters.. ok ok, so who orders salads at a pub, I know. But hey, we wanted some greens in our systems. The chicken was definitely out of a box and appeared to have almost been.. dare I say, microwaved?? It definitely was not the grilled chicken type, that was for sure.
So it was a mixed bag experience from the food point...
As for the ambiance, the customers were on the very loud side. Especially the heckling middle aged cougars next to us. I know it was noisy in there, but was there a need to add even more decibel to that mess?
Anyway, I would definitely go back just for the fish and chips.. which I probably only eat a couple times a year, so it will not be a frequent visit for me.
