"A group of 5 retired bankers (NatWest) frequent this venue regularly for a chat about current banking practice, when compared to the joyous times of yesteryear, pre retirement, reflecting upon how lucky we were! The usual lady server was well known to two of our crew, as they virtually live in the bar..the other three of us are some distance away so I pen this as an 'outsider '. As title, the menu is superior to our Hertfordshire McMullan 's..apparently there is some sort of choice to the local publicans..this here is excellent for this type of venue with superior portions and choice. Place usually 'buzzy '..a little quieter today..always welcoming and efficient service. We had many pints and glasses of wine, including three Guinness, 5 main courses..all delicious with plates cleaned..from memory, the special Porky burger with sides, the pie, the super Fish and chips, Spinach Risotto and the chicken skewer. £140.00 including tip..many thanks..we 'll call again..cheers"
