On our GPS system, we were headed for what we thought was an Asian Shang-hai restaurant in this strip plaza in Scenic Acres. I was starving for some rice/noodles/spring rolls.
In we go to the parking lot and there is no Asian restaurant anymore but there is the newly moved Nottingham's! I had not been to the older location either so this place was a first for me.
We went in and it wasn't busy but it got busier throughout the time we were there - around 5pm. And it was Happy Hour! (until 8pm)
The waitress was working solo manning everything as I had read on prior reviews. She was very nice though and patient, explaining her faves on the menu. She said there was something about their BLT - one couple drives from Cochrane quite often for their BLT. One guy comes in every morning for his BLT so it has to be good right!? And for $6!??? No sides though, just the sandwich and I went for it. It was very good. The sandwich was large and well balanced. Hubby had a burger, as always and he quite liked it with his side of yam fries. He had a pint too and they have a deal on, displayed on posters on the wall that for $15 you get a pint and the burger with a side. YUMMY! We waited some time for our food and during that time all I could think about was my Asian faves - but after the food came out I was sold.
The pub itself has some nice features, a water feature, a fireplace, a lit up bar but I did not feel like I was in any kind of British pub. But - that was ok!
3 stars for good service and very decent food. I loved the menu pricing - it was great. Supposedly the VLTs (video casino games) keep this place going, generates a lot of income and people were playing on those 10 machines.(not me!)
This is a place where the regulars gather - and I can see why!
Oh! And free popcorn - help yourself when you walk in and take it to your table!
