This place has been on my list for a few years now - yes, you read right - a few years. A colleague of mine had described it as 'one of the best english pubs in the city'.
We went at about 6 pm on a Sunday and we're seated right away at a nice table. The waiter was extremely polite and helpful and the service was excellent!
The order: I got the roast dinner which had the roast cooked perfectly, so tender and well seasoned. It came with a delicious Yorkshire pudding, roasted veggies (green beans, carrots, beats, parsnips and potatoes) all doused in a delicious gravy ($28). My wife had the fish and chips - it was one large piece of haddock with a bowl of chips that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The haddock was well seasoned and had a really nice crunch to the batter. It came with tartar sauce and a really interesting and fun tasting house ketchup with caraway seeds. There was the Heinz ketchup and malt vinegar as well. ($19)
The mains were both DELICIOUS and I don't think I could pick a favourite.
We were just about to leave when I remembered some other Yelpers talking about the sticky toffee pudding. Oooooooh yes yes yes yes. It was so rich and warm paired with a scoop of in house made ice cream. Oh god it was good. We shared this - I recommended sharing this one as it is quite rich.
They didn't have Guinness but offered a junction brewery stout that my wife said tasted like Guinness with espresso (in a good way).
Overall.... great service with an excellent meal. Never change Queen and Beaver. We're coming back!
