| PREMISES | Anne | This is a hidden gem. It looks and feels like a cosy old English pub. There is also a large restaurant section for more formal dining but I like the look of the bar/lounge area better for ambience. |
8/10 |

| Phil | Quaint Old English style pub serving a
good range of beers and hearty food. Boasts to be the second
best steak house in Victoria. Walls display a large range of beer
steins and posters. It has a very friendly atmosphere.

Our friends were asked not to bring a pram inside.
This could be a problem for those with babies.

| MENU | Anne | The menu is quite comprehensive and in keeping with the Old English theme it has a variety of pies and steak and kidney pudding as typical fare. Prices are reasonable and servings are generous but not so large as to be intimidating. I must try the steak one day to see why they have the 2nd best steak in Victoria. | 8/10 | ||
| Phil | Remember the food we grew up with 30 or more years ago. English style cooking with some of my old favourites. This is one place were you are tempted to lick the plate as the food is so good. | 8/10 |
| DRINKS | Anne | A good size glass, not too much ice. | 7/10 | ||
| Phil | Over 120 beers from around the world, stout and top shelf drinks. Enjoy a pint of Guinness or a Fosters. The have it all. | Drinks a a little expensive. I would not go here to get sloshed but still worth the experience. | 6/10 |
| OVERALL | Anne | Great location, great atmosphere, appetising menu, good prices and service. I'd like to spend an evening with a group here. | 8/10 | ||
| Phil | This place is one of the peninsula's hidden gems. I have been there 3 times and will go again. If you are looking for atmosphere with good food to match then this is the place for you. | 7/10 |
