Known as Kenrick's until August 2007, the place is now under new management and has received a serious overhaul: the old grimy furniture has been disposed of and the whole place has had a proper clean.
The staff are friendly and the food is good. The selection of beers used to be somewhat anaemic, but they had Spitfire and Adnams on tap when [Stig]? visited in January 2008.
[Stig]? visited with a friend who was eager to have their fish and chips again — she said it's the best she's had. I was also a bit disappointed that their scrumptious Cheddar and onion pie was no longer on the menu. The food menu changes frequently, apparently, so I'm sure they'll both make comebacks.
We both had the salmon, prawn, and cod fish pie. It originally arrived a bit undercooked but we didn't have to argue about sending it back for a reheat and we got some complementary bread while waiting for it to return. We were pleasantly surprised about the large amount of prawns, and it tasted great. It came with a small side salad.
Prices as of January 2008: starters and desserts both about £5, mains about £10.
