Spent a lovely afternoon here to send off a retired colleague. Staff were really helpful, courteous and welcoming. We started with the lamb kofte skewers with raita, mint and pomegranate molasses and bbq glazed chicken wings to share. Lovely flavours! For mains we had their chicken and ham hock pie with buttery mash, gravy, savoy cabbage, peas and bacon. My colleague had a chargrilled flat iron steak with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, lemon and tarragon butter, watercress and fries.
Excellent stuff. All the food arrived at the same time. Their food was amazing quality, tasty, inspiring, fresh and plentiful, service was wonderful, wish it was my local!
Highly recommended!
Themed after the famous '60s music venue on Eel Pie Island nearby (although it's not there any more), this pub is chock-full of music memorabilia - it's a great place for music lovers of a certain age to have a pint - and there is a nice selection of real ales for the connoisseurs.
The food isn't bad, either - certainly much better than the Barmy Arms just a bit further up; the steak and ale pie had a shortcrust base and puff pastry top - very tasty. The mashed potato seemed like it might have been made from a packet (as it is in a lot of pubs, unfortunately). The red cabbage made a nice vegetable side. A little pot of gravy on the side was quickly drained. Overall, was it worth £15? I've had a lot better, but it was a good evening out, I'll give it that.
The staff booked us a great table by a screen and window to watch the rugby. It was super hot so they cooled our glasses down with cold water before pouring our beers. Shame about the rugby result but we will return soon 😄
