The amount of smoke and fog they use could prove to be problematic to those who have asthma. The sound system makes up for its faults and the lone pool table is a welcome sight. The service at the bar is quick, making up for how crowded the small space gets. All in all it's a decent place to party, it is Brantford after all so you shouldn't expect too much.

FOOD: We had come here on a Monday at around 12:00 pm for…read morelunch as it was the $5.00 Burger Deal, in which you would receive a Burger and Side Order for $5.00. However, it was required that you order a beverage in order to get this deal; I had settled on Ginger Ale as my beverage, and Tomato Soup as my side. In terms of the Ginger Ale, it tasted watered-down, and was a difficult drink to enjoy, because it mostly tasted like water. The Burger was actually very delicious, and tasted juicy and fresh, and it was quite large as well. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that it hardly had any toppings on it, and we had to add our own ketchup and mustard (which were on the table already). For my side, I had asked if I could have the Tomato Soup as I really love Tomato Soup, and was excited to see that it was on the menu. They had said that they would ask in the back if it was possible to have it with the Burger Deal. When they said that it was fine, it definitely made my day! However, upon tasting the soup, I was severely disappointed, as the menu clearly stated that the soup was 'homemade', which clearly, it was not. I've tasted soup out of the can that was much better then what I was served, and vowed that I wouldn't be ordering any type of soup from this restaurant in the future. Although the Burger was quite delicious, I wasn't too happy with the Tomato Soup, or the Ginger Ale, and felt that my money wasn't spent well on these items. ATMOSPHERE: This restaurant was situated in a busy plaza, however, at the time that we had gone, it wasn't too busy at all as it was midday during the week. We noticed that there weren't too many people in the restaurant, and the ambiance was quiet as there were no sports games showing on the television. The restaurant itself was quite spacious, with enough room between each of the tables, and ample room for us to move our chairs in and out while being comfortable. The décor on the walls was reminiscent of a typical English pub, with pictures of London, and other items related to sports. SERVICE: When we had arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by a kind, younger woman, who directed us to a table of our choosing. She then came over and gave us menus, and told us about the specials for the day. We found that the service was great, as the woman came over as we were eating to see how we were doing, and was quite polite during our entire stay. We noticed that there were a few other servers as well doing the same thing with other tables, which was comforting to see. Great service all around for sure! COST: 1 Burger Deal: $5.00 (Includes Burger & Side) + 1 Beverage (Ginger Ale): $2.25 + Tax = $8.19 WOULD YOU RETURN? In all honesty, although the atmosphere and service were great for a British pub, the food didn't measure up, and it just wasn't worth the money that we put into it.

They should be ashamed. I ordered fish & chips and my wife the steak & mushroom pie. The fish and chips came burnt and brittle and were sent back.

This is only the second time we have been here and I have sent the food back both times. There is absolutely no quality control and it was evident that the owner didn't care. What a terrible experience. I will never go back absolutely disgusting food.

Lunch was perfect with lots of soups, salads, and sandwiches to choose from. They even had a soup flight! I opted for butternut squash soup and a small Greek salad. Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. Husband had a chicken pita and decided on tots for his side. I stole a few tots and they were delicious. Nice and crispy. Service was excellent. The place was a cute one-room area with a little bar in the back of the room and booths and tables throughout. The bar had a big screen TV which was showing a baseball game. It looked like they have live music on certain days. It's part of a strip mall so don't miss it.
