I dropped in again last night. There was a good crowd around the bar, and a couple of groups were eating, plus another couple of tables were booked.
A couple of pints (beer still good), and a pack of scratchings cost £10.50 - really good vlue, especially for the Stratford area. I didn't get a look at the main menu, but one of te specials was lamb & black pudding hot pot for £15, which was a really good price.
I'd definately go there again.
Interesting, Lex. Again, please keep us updated with further visits.
My local pub (new tenants a few weeks back) is really struggling. They're desperately asking the customers how they can improve the menu and have cut back heavily on entertainment. Considering this should be their busiest period. I forsee another change of hands coming up before the 5-year lease expires!
If I were them, I would simplify the menu, burgers, pies, curry, and a couple of other very basic dishes, but I'd focus on advertising the place properly and not relying on faceache! - But what do I know?
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
