I've enjoyed every time I've been to the Six Pence Pub...never had bad service or food. Beer selection is great here. The food is good, but it is pub food...if you want a fine dining, culinary experience, Fratellis or the FishMarket across the street can accomodate you. The menu is vast, something for everyone...good food to enjoy with a cold drink. Why do I keep going back to the Ploughman's Lunch? So simple, and yet the combinations of the different items in the aggregate is so delicious.
Hint: This may seem elementary, but if you want to eat, do so in the dining room. Roof top seating and bar area are really for enjoying drinks...the food service can get slowwwww in these areas at times, especially when they are busy.
