When my meal arrived part of the order was missing, I informed the waiter of the missing part of my meal and he was apologetic and said that he would get the missing part right away, when the missing portions arrived it was inedible....under cooked, we are talking about onion rings, how do you under cook onion rings and why were they presented to me in that state, the waiter cook would not have accepted them in that condition, why was I expected to ? Over priced for the quality of food. Don't bother there are better places to eat in the area.

The food was like something you would expect in an airport over priced and bland. Though, the interior design wasn't bad and the vibe was good. read more The food was like something you would expect in an airport over priced and bland. Though, the interior design wasn't bad and the vibe was good.

Despite not having made a reservation, they quickly accommodated us for drinks only. The service at the bar was excellent, and we enjoyed table service as well. The beers were very good, and we liked seeing them being brewed on site. While there were other continental beers available, we opted for the local ones and were not disappointed. After enjoying three drinks, we decided to eat and asked to move tables, which was done without any hassle. We ordered three small plates to share, which turned out to be plenty. The pub grub was honest and of decent quality, with brilliant service once again. We left the beer hall happy and looking forward to returning soon, which we definitely will.

Excellent atmosphere and first class ales. Particularly enjoyed the deerstalker!!! Very friendly and helpful service. read more Excellent atmosphere and first class ales. Particularly enjoyed the deerstalker!!! Very friendly and helpful service.
