We went this past weekend, hoping for a great night out. It ended up being just OK. When we first walked by the pub section to get to the restaurant, there were people on the patio smoking like chimneys and every other word out of their mouths was the "F" word - loudly. You would think that having the ocean... more

Here is the deal, unless you literally accost some random standing female and get her to admit she is a waitress you will not receive service. That said, once you do all will be forgiven.

So many good memories here! Thanks to my friend Jacinda for introducing me to it more years ago than I care to mention. English food is comfort food and this place has always felt warm and homey to me (sit inside though, the patio is too noisy with all the buses passing by!). more

where do I begin... I wax romantically when I consider it. I have been going here since I was a bitty girl and it has never disappointed me. I spent my wayward youth drinking in the pub here. I come here whenever I can tempt someone to join me. It is a beer toasted anglophiles heaven. The Fish and Chips... more
