The food was great! I had the chicken pot pie and daily soup special...could not ask for better! Since it was a Friday night, they had special entertainment. The music was quite lovely, "easy on the ears" to complement the dining experience. What a treat! This restaurant really deserves a 5 star review. Go see for yourself!

The atmosphere was a plus, I'll give it that. My fiance ordered the fish and chips and I had the English banger sandwhich. We shared half of each entree.
First, the menu states that their food is all made in house. This for sure wasn't the case with the fish and the " chips ". The fries were obviously frozen and fried to serve. The fish had absolutely no taste, and the batter kept falling off every time we cut into it. For $13 the fish and chips were an entree I would float away from.
The waitress was a sweetheart, and was quick to serve with a smile. My entree, the english banger sandwhich, was good. Again, the sausage didn't have much flavor, aside from the spicy style mustard served on the side with the sandwhich.

The atmosphere was nice, but the food was what we were interested in and it wasn't impressive.

The first proper drinking I found in Charlotte. 20oz tap special every day and cocktails for true drinkers. Unfortunate proximity to train tracks, but it provides an exciting stumble home (I kid, I never went home).

Atmosphere is about what you would expect for a British Pub, not bad. We were a group of 3 for dinner on a Friday night about 9:00. Restaurant was only 1/3 to 1/2 full, so not busy at all. Dinner took over 40 minutes to arrive and my roast beef w/mashed potatoes came cold, the other two dinners were hot. Sent it back and it returned lukewarm. Told server I had lost my appetite and to take it off the bill, which she did. Server apologized, but no visit from manager or chef. Did I mention it wasn't busy? Overall taste of all three dinners was bland, bland, and bland. There are better places to blow $15 per entree in Southend, avoid this one if you're hungry.

I've only been here once and that was a lunchtime visit. The food was very good though the wait was almost 40 minutes after ordering --seemed a bit excessive being as we arrived at 11:30am and we were the only people in there; there were only 5 of us.

The pub itself has a very old-school British pub feel --probably the most authentic I've seen since living in the states for over 12 years. It was pretty dark, with accent lighting and had a stale ale kind of smell. Yes, the stale ale smell 'IS' required if you want to make the 'authentic British pub' feel. Though this might not sound too appealing, it really adds to the atmosphere and isn't as bad as it sounds :)

There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try; however, there is only so much one can cram into one's mouth during a Friday lunch session --at least without having to taking a nap when returning to work.

I will be visiting here again and look forward to sampling more of their traditional style foods. I will certainly update this review after another visit.
