[[Kake]] visited early on a Monday evening in October 2008. Although they have at least two handpumps, they only had Spitfire on, so I had a pint of Strongbow (£3.20) instead. |

Real Ale is £3 a pint, draught beers are £3.10 to £3.35. A glass of wine is £3.50. House Doubles are also avaliable for £3.50. |
Their main chef is off on Mondays, so a reduced menu is served instead. Not sure of food times, but at least on a Monday there's a break in the middle of the afternoon with food service resuming at 5pm. I had a ham and cheese baguette (£4.25, though advertised as £3.50 on the menu as the prices had gone up recently), and took the option of having it toasted. It was good, made with decent quality ingredients. It came with mustard, mayo, a side salad, and long, thin, crispy, presalted (but not too much) fries. |

The main food is Served Monday to Saturday all day till 7, plus other items on a specials board. |
Service was very friendly and helpful. There were a few other customers in but I had no competition for the sofa. Piped music was playing but not too loudly. |

£5 Roasts are served on Sundays from 12-6 which really are real value for money |
Slightly alarmingly, a notice in the toilets stated that on Friday and Saturday nights, "random searches are in operation for your safety and ID will be required to gain entry"; there's also a "smart casual" dress code on those nights, with hats, caps, and tracksuits being banned. |
