Ok by looking at google it says that I’ve not been here to eat for roughly 3 months well the reason for that is because the chef that was here before left and when I did have a meal here after he was gone it wasn’t any good now I’ll eat anything in reason what I mean is I’m not shy from trying new things but what I really like is fish and chips in a tasty batter that means the fish should be fully coated in tasty batter that means no skin showing from the fish fully coated well today I decided to be brave and try the chef that was working today now the bar staff are always friendly and polite anyway I ordered my fish and chips that was all good then I was told that the batter would be very dark because the chef had decided to use Guinness with the batter well me being always ready to try something new said that would be okay I was a little bit weary well I mean it doesn’t come free who likes paying for something that might be no good but the truth is yes the batter was very dark but it had everything else going on it was crispy nice crunch to it when you cut it open and tasted real good the only thing is it might not be to everyone’s liking just because of the colour of the batter now I don’t know if he will keep it like this and I don’t know if that chef is permanent at the pub all I can say is if you get the fish and chips and they say that the batter is dark because of the Guinness don’t panic when you see it it does taste real good yes I know I took the first photo after I cut into the fish but hey can’t always be perfect so embrace new ways don’t be scared to try something that looks different from what your use to
Lovely pub food in a local location. And the price is good too.
Love the Baring Hall Hotel, I regularly go here as a local resident. It's great to go out for a quick drink with friends and also to go out for a meal and for family gatherings. New manager, think his name is 'Raf', (sorry if I'm incorrect) is lovely, he always comes to check out food and drink is OK, is friendly and has done great stuff with the restaurant part of the pub, is always eager for feedback and asks for our opinions on things. They're a few new members of staff who seem really nice too, very attentive to customers and smiley, which is always nice. Food is fantastic and the chef is lovely too, always chatting to my 8yo SD and telling her she has a lovely singing voice (she doesn't stop). Live music on a Saturday, great pub quiz on a Tuesday and fantastic seasonal events. Hands down best pub for quality and value in the Grove Park / Lee area. Oh and you can bring your dog along too... And they have doggy treats!
Fantastic food. Full of flavour and a good price. A range of ciders and beers on tap which are a cut above your Fosters etc. Live music on a Sat night which was worth a listen. The only downside was that it was reasonably quiet. Not sure why it's not packed!
This is my local and I come here frequently. It’s calm and nice and very friendly. Excellent service and good food. Today we ordered the halloumi pitta and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life. I will dream of this meal and one day tell my grandchildren about it. Amazing balance of flavour, fresh, great textures. It’s absolutely perfect in every way.
This pub burnt down a few years ago. Up to that point it was a dive.
It reopened with the quirky idea of keeping some of the burnt bits and it works! It’s cool and the food is good. The staff are friendly and down to earth. Most important, it isn’t pretending to be something, so prices are good for the area. There’s a good range of beers and they’ve got pork scratching. In the winter they light a fire. All the good stuff.
Had a fantastic night yesterday with great live music, absolutely amazing athmosphere and friendly staff. There is a good wine selection (we had lovely Merlo); the same with beers - everyone can find something for themselves, whether you like lagers or ales, etc. Pub is spacious and has unusual interior. Food is good - I had a Sunday lunch there once - good value for money, all tasty. Yesterday hand cut chips were a hit. I definitely recommend this pub. You will not regret your money spent there.
We have dined here twice and the roast was exceptional on each occasion. Yesterday's roast potatoes were divinely crisp, and having elected to sample the chicken, I was delighted to discover that it was just as tasty as the pork which I had previously consumed. My paramour took the last beef joint and dispensed similar encomiums - bravo! The Yorkshire puddings were commodious fare and the gravy saturated my plate like the Ganges soaking a pilgrim. We were also fortunate enough to meet Digby, the biggest dog in the world, who had chosen to spend his Sunday afternoon sauntering around the tavern. My only (minor) complaint is the removal of the pork roast from the menu as this was a most splendid meal for any highwayman or dandy seeking repast.
This is a wonderfully querkie place. It was badly fire damaged years ago, but instead of doing a complete referb, the company decided to show the scars, as it shows the history of this family friendly pub. The staff are friendly & welcoming, and the chef cooks everything from fresh himself, he told me he even makes his own gravy from scratch! I can recommend a Sunday roast of beef and roasted vegetables, absolutely superb. Definitely worth a visit with friends and/or family.
This very metal looking pub (building has burned and they kept the walls & ceiling charred) sports some real gems food-wise! I should start by saying that we are VERY picky with our food. We love to cook ourselves and love great food - and this place is our friend through and through.
The vegan sweet potato chili looked intriguing and it didn't disappoint, very savoury, balanced spices, my taste buds were completely satisfied.
The star of our evening, however, was their absolutely amazing fish and chips, my new favourite! I've been to a few central pubs (south Ken) and they PALE in comparison.
Also can recommend the halloumi starter. Deep fried cheese with honey, YUM.
