Food

Pros:

  • "The garlic bread with cheese and burger were great."
  • "The steak and ale pie was amazing, not to mention the comfort of mash, rich gravy, and peas."
  • "We ordered 2kg of Chicken wings Hot & BBQ. They were very tasty and went down well with our overpriced beer."
  • "The macaroni cheese was Amazing!"
  • "Good quality food, Margherita pizza is delicious, enjoyed the dirty clucker burger and they have some good starters."

Pricing

Pros:

  • "Good selection of food and drink which isn't too expensive."
  • "Great value for money."
  • "The breakfast menu is appropriate and sensational value for the area, with a solid Full English for a tenner."

Cons:

  • "The pints are £8.5. The most expensive in London I have ever experienced."
  • "The big issue was the beer prices, ranging from £7.60 to £8.45 a pint."
  • "Very pricey, very very pricey...4 people £60+ in total. With each had one drink and sharing a few dishes. Everyone left hungry and ready to have dinner immediately."
  • "The drinks are pretty steep in price, so watch out."
  • "Also bought loaded fries for £9.50. They were terrible. No meat on them, just frozen chips reheated."
  • "But anywhere that adds £1 service charge onto every pint (with no option to remove) is dishonest and deceiving."
  • "Very expensive for what it is, we were also told that because it was the England game there was a premium addition to the price of a pint."

Facilities

Pros:

  • "Lots of screen to show the sports and they have private areas with dart boards and screens if you want to have a private group."
  • "Big sports bar with pool & darts."
  • "They offer activities like darts, slots, and other bar games."
  • "Great Venue, loads of TV’s."
  • "Facilities good, like the pitcher idea where you pull your own pints."
  • "This place has a great sized food menu and plenty of alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks available."
  • "From the outside it just looks like any old bar but when you go in you realise that it is a really big, modern bar showing lots of sport."

Cons:

  • "An absolutely dreadful sports bar. Paid £20 for an hour of pool and after paying it turns out no functional cues were available (no cue tips, cues too short etc.) and tables are far too close together."
  • "The security guard was laughable. Played games on his phone rather than checking who was coming in and out of the premises."
  • "Stay clear of the sharing nachos. You get the equivalent of a small bag of nachos with minimal topping. Barely enough for 1 person."
  • "Make sure you book a table for matches. We came in at the end of a match and there were no seats open."
  • "Nice looking bar. Front bar was closed but no signs. There were people queuing for drinks and no-one telling us."
  • "Got there at 1.30 pm and one of the bars was not even open!!"
  • "Horribly under staffed, packed to the rafters for a game."
