Pyrotequila   401 #133 Posted February 20, 2014 turned that corner in a comfortable open fire bar seating area.  That's me sold! It's a reason why I love Fox House, and if it's still in, The Rising Sun, especially during winter... a quiet drink and a log fire... bliss!

verona   10 #134 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Just been. Atmosphere: pub-like but refined. Plenty of people in; some eating, some just drinking, chatting and rejoicing in the fact it's a pub again.  Service: excellent, though the staff are obviously new to the systems and the menu and so on, so make sure they remember to register the daily deal if it applies to you.  Food: great - even the little Lockjaws ate all of theirs, which is rare, and the gluten free stuff was actually gluten free, according to Mrs Lockjaw's innards, unlike the Pesto incarnation.  Won 40 quid on the bandit, too, so it was all free and, if Verona was there, the kerchunking of all those lovely pound coins streaming out will have wound her up a little.  All in all a great early evening.  We'll be back very soon.   I'm a he not a she! And I was there, although I think you put forty in to get forty out, lol. To be honest I really liked the feel of the place. It really appeals to families and my little boy loved watching cbeebies whilst eating his burger. Glad it's not got a pool table though.  The new tenants seem really nice and made a special effort with our little boy. Will be back soon.

Each to their own I guess - thanks for the heads up of where to avoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tess   10 #136 Posted February 21, 2014 Is Cebeebies on everywhere? Can it be avoided by sitting elsewhere in the pub? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
verona   10 #137 Posted February 21, 2014 I think it was a one off. Can't see it being a regular thing as it would drive everyone bonkers.  We sat in the restaurant side to start with but we were the only ones in there and it it felt cold so we moved to the bottom bar which feels warm and cosy. For some reason the restaurant area in the Waggon has always lacked atmosphere.  Burgers were alright, nothing special, but can't grumble for £5, you get what you pay for. Might try the steak next time but it's cheap and cheerful pub Grub what people seem to want in here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
beefface   10 #138 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) It's just not hitting the spot, kids eating 'cheap and cheerful burgers' watching CeeBeebies, while a bloke pumps pound coins endlessly into a slot machine will not cause me to rearrange our planned family outing to Amigo's this weekend!

boyfriday   21 #139 Posted February 21, 2014 We'll be in tomorrow for a birthday (a different one to previously mentioned!) I wonder if there's any treats for the birthday boy!  SHAMELESS, Tess!!  If the licensee sees this, can I suggest you put on a plentiful supply of Toffee Crisp Popcorn treats?
