Perfect experience for a non table service pub category of restaurant. The steak and ale pie was excellent, as was the baked Camembert appetizer

At 4pm i booked online for a 6.30pm table for 2. Upon arrival in a busy atmosphere i was informed i should have called for a table. Booking online takes 4 hours to go through because the 'ipad we use is a bit slow'. Staff did nothing to accommodate and it left me with the feeling that they only really cares about the casual drinkers. Nearly ruined a one day/ night trip, leaving us with nowhere to dine. Luckily we found a place to eat but the service and attitude was poor. Felt very unwelcome so shall not return.

Can not fault it. Young lady and young man behind bar were both welcoming and Pleasent. Food I feel was a bargain at 2 courses for £16.00 and was delicious. Will definitely be using again. We were going to the Marlowe and can highly recommend the pub for pre theatre meal.
