    I have so much to say I don't even know where to begin. I have a friend visiting me from the UK, and the Euro2024 was on today. I thought what a fun event to go to an English pub and watch her football. I had called and asked if they were showing the game, and they told us it was first come first serve and was promptly hung up on. I didn't take that to heart but I thought it was odd. We got here about 2:00 and the place was already packed. Thankfully we got chairs. My friend and I don't drink alcohol, but we were planning on ordering lots of food. Immediately we were singled out by the owners Mark and Peggy. Never have I met more nasty, miserable people than I have at this pub. Before we even sat down they were threatening to throw us out. However, we weren't special they literally were attacking every single guest in here! Like why own a pub if you don't want people to come? Apparently Peggy, was annoyed that we weren't drinking alcohol. I said we're going to order food and we're going to take care of the server. She said there's no soliciting. I'm pretty sure she meant loitering, but we weren't doing that either as we were purchasing food and beverages. The day was saved by a few really sweet servers (especially Meghan! ) that really tried to bend over backwards to help people. But honest to God I lost count on how many times people were being threatened to be thrown out. Mark was calling people names, sexual slurs, and saying other derogatory remarks. He even squared off to a few people! I'm 100% sure this bar is well over capacity and is in a fire code at the moment but he's so greedy he's letting more and more people in the door. I honestly have never seen anything like this, I will NEVER come back to this place. And it's not a good to look for my UK friend to see.

    I have past this restaurant since I have been in Florida for 30 year and never went in until today because we have a lecture at library on Halloween and the told us about the history of this restaurant and ghosts that is still thought to exist the history is very interesting read the yelp information and when you go read the information on menu the fish and chips were delicious English salad good wine good and beer service very friendly and informative it like a time stop Restaurant !!!we were glad that we took the course and enjoyed the experience and food

    place is a total dive, in a good way! doesn't look like anything has been updated or changed probably since they opened. place wasn't very busy, it should be. ordered a couple of pints, love that they have to "pump" the draft handles to dispense the beer, like the do in most pubs in the UK. ordered the king's portion "breakkie", a breakfast plate for dinner that included blood sausage, bangers, mushrooms, Heinze baked beans, the ones in the teal can that come from UK, rye toast & 2 eggs over easy, grilled tomato & the UK version of A1 sauce. everything was delicious, my only complaint was that the eggs were definitely overcook, so no runny yolks. my husband ordered the bangers & mash with the same Heinze beans that i had, garlic mash with guiness gravy, he loved it. service was friendly and unpolished, but that's what i'd expect in a place like this, adds to the quaintness of the place. ***BATHROOMS ARE REALLY GROSS, no handle on men's room door, ceiling was leaking like crazy because of the rain, so buckets were there collecting the water. other than that, we'd go back again!

    I should give it 4 stars for the service because everyone at the bar was great. The onion soup was very rich and tasty. I would come back for that alone. The beers on tap are warm and I'm just a spoiled American who likes an ice cold beer. We will be back to try other menu items and I'll do a proper review then.

    Walking by from the outside, this pub looks like it could be situated on any street in England. Inside it carries on that same feel. Dark wooden benches and bar stools. Men sitting by the bar talking about sports. Amazingly nice, Peggy is behind the bar, and the feel of this place makes me remember a visit to London. We sat at the bar so we could see the vast selection of both British and American beer on tap. Of course, I ordered a pint of Guinness, and my husband ordered a Woodford Reserve Bourbon. We both had never eaten her before, but from the menu posted by the door outside, we had to give it a try for our lunch. Peggy was great at telling us about her favorite menu items, and she even showed us a plate or two as she was delivering food to another table. It all looked great. The special for Friday is the large portion of fish and chips for the small portion price as long as it is not a shared plate. The bangers and mashed looked like a huge portion, too. After the hand pressed 1/2 pound burger was described, my husband had to order it. I went with Peggy's favorite, Paddy O'Dip- Roast beef on a fresh baguette with guinness-laced au jus and pub made horseradish sauce with fries. It was so good. The flavors of the sandwich dipped in the au jus, followed by dipping my fresh cut fries. I was totally satisfied. The ambiance with the food and drink was a definite winner, and we will be back for sure to try the Shepard pie and something they call Irish Boxtys.

Also got the prezal with there unique mustard that has horseradish in it.

Had a great soccer game on and lots of nice people to talk to in there. I feel like I'm on the show Cheers when I go there everybody's so friendly. And always love their decor.

Honestly, if I didn't know better, I would've sworn my mom was the one cooking. It's hands-down the best chicken noodle soup I've had in a very long time. The only thing missing?

Found the service slow at this location and ordered an old fashion and the large fish and chips. The old fashion was weak and the fish was greasy and thin with breading that was thicker than the actual piece of fish. Mentioned the greasy thin fish to the waiter and he said he would mention to the kitchen but no other feedback. Thankfully there are a ton of other restaurants in this location so I'll probably try brimstone and village tavern next time and hope it was just an off night here.
