Came in again on Friday night 4/26, party of 2. Since this was G's first time in, we both went with British Standards and typical pub fare. I've been before for weekend breakfast/brunch, Pub Quiz night, and dinner.
Started with the Banger Rolls to share which came with HP sauce (tomato+tamarind?!) and Colman's mustard. The sausage was dense and puff pastry nice! She got the Fish & Chips (ale-battered cod, Kennebec chips, tartar sauce, lemon, malt vinegar provided at the table on the side). I repeated my fave, the Cornish Pasty (beef, pork, turnip, potato, carrot, onion, herbs, gravy and field greens). The vegetarian version has sweet potato, turnip, potato, onion, peas, herbs, and Welse rarebit cheese sauce and is also a solid option! Next time I might try the Shepherd's Pie. They do have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free items available if that's what you're looking for.
Can't remember the name exactly of the signature cocktail that the Birthday Girl ordered, but I personally was eyeing either a Bellini or a Mocktail. Non-alcoholic beverages menu included the Isle of White (lemonade, rhubarb bitters), Cucumber Cooler (cucumber juice, lime juice, soda water), and the Peachy Day (peach puree, lemon juice, rhubarb bitters, soda water). I got the Peachy Day, which came in a mason jar and was tasty and refreshing!
I also asked if we could do ollalieberry scones even though it was dinner service -- yes! They even asked if we wanted them to come out all at once or as dessert. We chose dessert and they even came out warmed with Devonshire cream on the side!
There was live music which was a little loud but still fun tunes like Black Magic Woman and Brown-Eyed Girl.
With a shift change, our main server did switch between the main courses and dessert scones. When the bill came out, we asked to split it half and half, but there was a mistake (undercharged) and she had to get the manager to correct the charge amounts. This caused a little delay and we were a bit late to our event.
