What desdan doesn't like about Punchbowl:
Just had a meal there at the weekend. Got to say that it was pretty average.Had to wait over an hour for it.No apologises given and over a tenner for a 10 pizza. Not worth it!! Standards have definitely fallen. Popularity killed the cat as the saying goes. View all feedback. What Steve-and-Andie likes about Punchbowl:
Just a quick lunch while we were spending. The food was very good, the chicken, ham and puerros cake was crowded with abundant and the rustic fries are something I have not tried before.It seems that they have a theme every day of the week, but the best of all is free refreshments for drivers appointed on Saturday night, which is a good touch like the pub is a little out of town.
