Known as Kendrick's until August 2007, the place is now under 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 is friendly and the food is good. The selection of beers used to be somewhat anaemic, but they had Spitfire and Adnams on tap last time I was there (Jan 2008, SB).
I went there 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 pai 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 pai. 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: starters and desserts both about £5, mains about £10.
