[[bob]] visited on a Saturday afternoon in July 2010. There were several tables of customers when I arrived a little before 2pm (it was less busy when I left an hour or so later). |
[[bob]] visited on a Saturday afternoon. There were several tables of customers when I arrived. There were less when i left. I started with a Black Pudding & Fried Egg on toast(£6)<small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4847020608/in/set-72157624627540412/ photo]</small>. The black puddign was very tasty, the egg perfectly cooked and the toast was merely okay. For my main I had Gloucester Old Spot pork, apple and sage pie(£12)<small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4849025372/in/set-72157624627540412/ photo]</small>. The pie wasnt entirely encased in pastry but the filling was very tasty none the less. The pie came with some very good chips. I finished with a cherry clafoutis(£5.50)<small>[ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4847022260/in/set-72157624627540412/ photo]</small> which was fine. I had 2 bottles of [[Kernel Brewery, SE1 2HQ|Kernel Brewery]] porter(£4.75) which were served chilled in chilled glasses<small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4847021264/in/set-72157624627540412/ photo]</small> which while not ideal was okay in summer for a quite strong tasting beer. On my visit the draught Marstons EPA was off but the pump clip hadnt been turned round. |

They do have a handpump for real ale — on my visit this had a clip for Marstons EPA, though this was actually off (and they hadn't turned the clip around to indicate this, as they should have). Instead I had two bottles of [[Kernel Brewery, SE1 2HQ|Kernel Brewery]] porter (£4.75), which were served chilled in chilled glasses <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4847021264/in/set-72157624627540412/ photo]</small>. This isn't an ideal way of serving real ale, but it was OK in summer for such a strong-tasting beer. |

Accessibility: One step to get in to the ground-floor bar area. Step-free from here to the accessible toilet and the men's toilet, but the ladies' is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs. Most of the dining space is on a raised platform two steps up from the bar area, but there's another dining area on the first floor too. There's some seating in the bar area, but most of it is at high stools and tables.
