What a great little pub!…read more The highlights were the real ales, a decent draught cider selection (including Hogan's, Thatchers etc) and a variety of scotch eggs to satisfy your bar snack needs (black pudding ones, Cumberland ones etc. for only £2.50). The pub itself is a lovely old fashioned looking type with several working fireplaces, and a piano. Also a nice garden of a fairly decent size with benches on the lawn, under the porch, and in a little covered area at the back, which has a stove installed. Located next to the park, which is another bonus. I'd definitely come here again, preferably not driving this time! Kids are allowed outside but not inside.

Found my 10oz steak was very good, cooked excellently as medium even though i had asked for rare. My friend enjoyed his mixed grill but did say the steak, cooked medium rare, was a bit tough. Another of our party of six had "The Real Corker", which was certainly a generous meal and you need to be hungry. Everyone else enjoyed their various meals and desserts. Decor has had a bit of an upgrade and is ok. but the mens toilets needs attention as it is smelly and floor wet (say no more). Appreciate the pub is very busy and it would take effort to keep Gents properly, however, could well put people off which is a shame. Overall we enjoyed our meal, there are pleasant beers and everything is a great price. Service was efficient & bar staff friendly enough.

We got a table for 9 people, and a couple of colleagues took our drinks then food orders to the bar. Also tried to get a group selfie in with my phone, one of staff shouted over that she could take the photo for us! So we got a couple of pics. The food is standard pub grub, we had fish and chips, salad, pies etc and we all enjoyed it. Some people had starters and also desserts. They have a lunch set price menu which was cheap. I am guessing the portions are different though one colleague told me, you get garden peas with fish n chips on the set menu but mushy peas on the full price menu!

The building's lovely architecture really stands out, and entices customers to enter the doors. Inside is just as nice too, and the customers are vibrant and in thier masses. It's one of two pubs in Rednal, so you can see why the place is so popular. Drinks are quite cheap and standard to most pubs that you'd find in the city centre, while choices are much wider, and I managed to get a glass of Stone's Green Ginger Wine, although, I don't think most customers ask for this, because the staff were very confused as to how much it cost, and how much to pour in a glass! There's a great outdoor area full of umbrella shades for a hot summers day, and heat lamps if it gets a little too cold (and I was cold, even though it's June!)

I recently moved house and my local is now the Thurlestone Pub which is on Thurlestone Road in…read moreLongbridge. When I was growing up round the corner this was very much an old mans pub - I mean, my dad used to drink here so no way would I ever come here for a drink! Now though it's changed. It has a much livelier atmosphere in the evening and now there is a great mix of young people and older chaps who have been using the Thurlestone for donkeys years. There are two rooms in The Thurlestone, although only the bar seems to be open during the day. It's nice and quiet in the daytime and you can tell that most people are regulars, everyone seems to be really friendly and when we pop in with our seventeen month old daughter no-one minds her toddling about all over the place and she's even scored a few Fruit Shoots and bags of crisps off people! Children are allowed in until around 8pm, although if there is a particularly rowdy crowd in the manager will tell us and offered to open the lounge for us the once. It wasn't necessary as we were only popping in for one before heading home, but it was a nice gesture. Prices for the drinks are reasonable, cheaper than the next nearest pub which seems to charge through the nose even though it's a bit of a dive. They also do meals in the Thurlestone, I've not eaten here yet but I'd imagine it's good old fashioned pub grub - I've heard people talking about the food and it all sounds very yummy, I must go and have dinner there one night! The seating is comfortable, it's a nice mix of chairs and stools so it's good to see a pub not buying in a load of leather sofas which always make me feel like going to sleep after a couple of glasses of wine! My fella always likes a few games of pool when we visit The Thurlestone while I flick through the papers that have been left during the day. They hold events, unfortunately we missed the Halloween party as we couldn't get a babysitter but from what I've heard it sounded like everyone had a right laugh! I'm definitely planning to be there for the next party!

Anyone who used to go before it got so big (maybe headed!) will agree it's a little spoilt now. It's a little hit and miss with the staff some are really nice and friendly whilst other are just plain rude and can't be bothered to give you the time of day. I understand that they have to deal with many people many of which are wasted but that's not everyone! If you are a smoker then it's marvellous. A really nice smoking area in the centre and people tend to hang out there and chat.
