Blackthorn _ left this review about The Attimore Hall
Located in a residential area a mile or so outside of WGC centre, it’s a fairly traditional looking pub that almost looks as though it could have been converted from a substantial detached house.
Décor wise it all feels a bit corporate and contrived, and whilst it’s pleasant enough it doesn’t really have much in the way of any real character. It’s divided in to a few different rooms internally, all broadly similar in terms of style with a mix of coarse woven carpet and wood strip on the floors, along with some slate tiling around the bar, and a mixture of royal blue or khaki green paintwork on the walls, as well as some feature wallpaper in places. There were a couple of brick fireplaces, and a few pieces of stencilled artwork scattered around the walls. There were a few black beams and supporting pillars, but they didn’t have any of the “olde worlde” charm that you might get in an old country inn. It was all very inoffensive.
Beers on tap were Doom Bar, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Sharp’s Solar Wave and Ubu Purity. The solitary cider meanwhile was Thatcher’s Gold. Overall, nothing at all wrong with it, and the barmaid was friendly enough, but it's not somewhere I’d go out of my way to get to.

Entering the pub is a bit like walking into someones house,there is a central corridor with two rooms off either side.However the rear of the building opens out and this is where the bar is situated.In this rear lounge there are various sections with some raised semi circular seating booths (for the young),and a lot of high backed chairs.This is an Embers Inn but not one of the chain with an ale focus.Three handpumps with London Pride,TT Golden Best and a guest of Courage Directors,and liberal use of line chillers means the ale is served at lager temperature ,no tight sparkler on my TT beers resulted in an indifferent pint ,even once it had warmed up.The food offering is the main draw,with £8 for two meal deals midweek lunchtimes and early doors.There is a large paved patio outside,the only place under 14 are allowed.Quiz night on Wednesday's and Sunday's and the staff are unfailingly polite and cheerful,there is less for customers to smile about.
