This pub looks a bit too trendy - from the outside anyway. Another one of those pubs that have had the heart ripped out of them and have become sterile environments - soft matt colours, twirly wallpaper, elaborate mirrors, new leather sofas and pine furniture - you know the type of place as every decent pub seems to be going that way these days. Where is the imagination?

Yesterday we attended a show at the Bristol Hippodrome and unfortunately decided to eat in this establishment beforehand. To be honest I should have gone with my gut feel on entering and seeing the place, but we had an elderly relative with us which made it difficult to wander too 'far' off the beaten track. One of the reviewers on the web said it all, "It’s a horrible place. It’s dirty, sticky tables, stinking toilets"

In short I agree with those statements - if only I had read them beforehand. Ok, the place is a flea-bite but we decided to order food anyway, after all its right next door to where we need to be (big mistake). The food arrived and looked ok but after tucking into the chicken, the outside was cooked and the inside was raw, maybe I am overly sensitive or picky, but I felt this was inexcusable? Anyway, in short I would not recommend this pub!

Now this has changed hands its 10 times better, Keep it up guys!
