A GK Meat and Greet pub in a grand Victorian house, now on a busy main road. There is a large car park, and there are two garden areas, on of them a covered, decked terrace used mainly by smokers. The basement area is predominantly storage and kitchen, and it is from this floor that you enter the main bar/dining area via a big staircase. The L-shaped bar is nice and bright, primarily laid to table, while there are a pool table, dartboard and gaming machines for entertainment. Several TV screens were showing live football. A jukebox competed with the TV commentary, causing a cacophony. Food was the usual GK-branded chav-fodder, cheap and tasteless and served in galvanised buckets, very apt for some of the clients. The majority of people there were actually normal, decent customers, though there were a few idiots. The staff were overworked but friendly nonetheless. Two ales on, GK IPA and London Glory. The Glory was insipid, weak and tasteless. Not somewhere I'd race back to.
