Best KPortal Reviews
6 of us went there Saturday. An old chap was on his own serving, he served us and it took about 15 minutes to get 6 drinks and he could barely keep the pints level as he walked. Customers were building up and sighing and rolling eyes, they have waited for ages at this point, then we leave he serves someone new that had only just walked in. Unfortunately that's not the end of it, 4 out of 6 drinks were terrible. 2 had grit in the glasses and 2 were flat. I would normally ask for money back but felt bad for the man and it would probably take 30 mins to get a refund. We went to that star instead (never thought I'd say that) and it was booming outside, I think everyone else had the same experience. Clean glasses properly and sort out staff otherwise this place won't be open for long.
Long covid: Struggling three years with no taste or smell, I find it difficult to rate the restaurants I visit. However, sometimes there's a reprieve, and the gammon I had wasn't too bad. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the small pineapple ring placed on top of said meat. It just wasn't enough.
Coming from London trying to find a place to have brunch on Bank holiday and thankfully they were open. It was cold and rainy as we could only sit outside with the cover but they turned on all the heaters to make sure everyone is warm. Very nice and friendly staff patiently explained the menu and dishes. The mains are big and fulfilling. We tried the welsh lamb liver and it was great! Also their steak was amazing. Overall very good experience, would recommend this place.
We looked this up online and decided to try it. It was lovely. The rugby was on and they weren't doing food as it was going to be busy.. but it was fairly quiet when we got there and the landlord said he will happily make us something before it gets busy. Which was so sweet of him. The food was lovely and the staff were great. Lovely dog who resides there was very friendly too,as were the locals. Theres also a local shop onsite selling local fresh produce which was an added bonus! Definitely go back again.
Traditional pub, lovely food, nice atmosphere. Had their festive meal which was lovely. Would recommend ????
Been here a couple times. Pint glasses often (in my experience) have bits inside them, like dried crusty food. Unfortunately staff got indignant when asked to replace drinks because of the dirty glasses. Once the barmaid even tried to just pour the dirty contents into a new glass. Clean your dishwasher machine now and again, buy a new one, or check the glasses manually before serving. These are the basic requirements for running a pub.
Food was also incredibly bland, Sunday lunch in particular was a big disappointment. It was like something a granny would make, but not a fondly remembered granny, one who you thought when growing up shouldn't cook. I'd recommend the owners visit other places (not the Star) to get a vibe for where the pub grub scene is, because right now, they're stuck in the 80s.
A lot of places locally require booking ahead for Sunday lunches, PHI doesn't, I think that says a lot about it. I won't return.
Ps. I'm not vegetarian, but my guest was, and the veggie stuff wasn't good either.
Really nice Sunday Lunch. Well prepared, well presented and realistically priced.
Friendly service. Would recommend and will return.
I didn't have food so I can't comment although what I saw looked lovely, we visited at around 14.00 so I assume that was the lack of atmosphere, beer was great and service was great and dogs are very welcome.
