Engine And Tender

Where do I start? !! So it was the kings coronation and from the moment we arrived we were given complimentary sausage rolls, wraps, muffins and donuts, not what I expected from a local hostelry but I went along with it because that’s what you do on a day like today. Anyway, the landlord was friendly, so much so that he bunged me £0.50, I can only assume as sweetener, knowing he would soon get it back and some, I had a pint or two, the lager was too cold if I’m honest and the sausage rolls could have benefited from a few seconds in a microwave if you don’t mind me saying. The regulars were all soaked, I can only attribute that to the inclement conditions on their journey but it made me feel uncomfortable and I don’t mind telling you. I’m not sure I have ever eaten a pink donut with a beer before but it oddly seemed to work, perhaps a few too many hundreds and thousands (sorry for the pun, I didn’t actually count them to know if that was accurate or not) but here we’re definitely a few. Anyway , I do like this pub, the landlord clearly makes an effort and I do know that he keeps an orange container full of doggie treats which renders him a top bloke in my book, so for me it’s a cracking local, with cold sausage rolls and donuts, what more could you want?! Oh, and the beer seems to be rather delicious, that matters does it not?

Good pub with good prices and a down to earth feel. One of the only places I could watch football. Hospitality on point and Ken knows how to look after people.

Watched the England rugby then the Tottenham match and Ken served chicken kebabs nice touch thanks Ken.

Great atmosphere since Ken and Carole have taken over. Excellent service and very friendly customers as well. Two great guest beers.

Great Pub watch the football landlord was very friendly enjoyed the night. Good choice of ales and beer. Plenty of tvs to watch sport
