Went to the Duck in the Pond for a late drink. Staff were very friendly and the service was great…read more I found that their selection of scotch was very limited with staff behind the bar seemingly knowing little about single malt varieties (I ended up having an Irish whisky). Moreover, the seating area was untidy; there were coffee filled mugs left on shelving, floor was littered and a few empty tables littered with empties remained uncleared until the end of the night. Overall, the experience was OK and I would consider going back if I was in the area again.

Having been up since 7am and out of the house at 8.45, I returned home at midday ravenous so was…read morenot unhappy when my husband suggested we go to the Duck in the Pond for lunch rather than the usual "what shall be have for lunch?". It's our nearest pub and part of the Ember inns chain. However, it hasn't always been my favourite venue to eat at because the vegetarian options are a little thin on the ground. We both settled on the salmon fishcakes which comes with chips or sweet potato chips and peas or mushy peas. Very pleased to be able to order a glass of Barefoot rose. I love Barefoot wines: many white and rose wines I find upset my stomach due to their acidity, not so the Barefoot vineyard! We finished our meal with Eton Mess for me and crumble and cream for him. Enjoyable meal and reasonably priced.

However, The Case Is Altered is not to be ignored in the winter as the mismatched chairs, wooden décor and warm paintings transform it from a lively summer hot spot to a great date place. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The menu, while unadventurous, includes the standard favourites with a nice gastro-pub twist (fish and chips, steak and chips, burgers, etc) ensuring that there is something for even the fussiest eater. I recommend the beer battered fish and hand cut chips, as well any of the desserts. a little word of warning, the car park next door doubles up as a dogging site late at night, I guess for some that just means that the fun doesn't necessarily have to end at dinner

The positives are that is given over to a lot of dining area and it also has a great garden which is terrific in summer. Negative is that some of the regular drinkers who congregate at the bar area by the entrance can be a bit rowdy. However one or two people play chess and I once spent a pleasant sunny afternoon in the garden taking on all comers (at chess that is). You may also see the veteran comedian Barry Cryer there as he lives in Hatch End and seems to be a regular.
