Success on your plate?
7/10 An ample cut of tasty, but too fatty, shoulder of lamb, red
cabbage, and lots of carrots and roast potatoes. And everything here is organic .
Gravy
6/10 Lots. It’s light, tasty and mixed in with the red cabbage and its juice.
Roast potatoes
9/10 They were a highlight: soft inside with a crispy coating.
Veggie alternative
5/10 Mushroom, onion and Red Leicester tart.
Drinks
7/10 Wines £15-£35. Organic lagers (Pitfield, Freedom) £3.15 a pint. Ales (St Peter’s) £2.95.
Puds
7/10 The chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce is a guilty pleasure. There’s also sticky toffee pudding and lemon tart.
Relaxation
7/10 The laidback dining room is separate to the bustling main
pub; the atmosphere is busy but relaxed; the crowd young and affluent.
Did it cure your hangover?
6/10 It sorts the hangover, but the price is a headache.
Is it as good as good as your mum's?
5/10 Only a cold-hearted masochist would answer yes to this question.
What to do in the area once you've mopped up your gravy
7/10 Check out the scene of Joe Orton’s gory death at the hands
of his lover Kenneth Halliwell at nearby 25 Noel Road. And it’s a brief
walk to Angel’s shops and cinemas.
