When I think of The Raven I think of whistling rockets, clashing fireworks and magical sparklers, all enjoyed with a pint in one hand and a ketchup lathered burger in the other.
Yes, this is one of my favourite times of the year - The Raven's Bonfire Extravaganza!
I came here every year as a child and I continue to keep The Raven torch alive now with my friends. Once a year we get together, meeting on the train, transferring to a bus and ending the journey in a taxi. It's worth it, believe me!
We start off the afternoon by grabbing a bite to eat from the vast menu, then we watch the late football game in the side bar. As the evening draws closer we go out into the huge garden for the spectacular fireworks display and enjoy a jacket potato, a burger or a hot dog from one of the food stands. The night ends with us putting our final coins into the jukebox and we dance the night away.
The pub got refurbished last October so I popped in to have a nose around. It looks amazing. The menus have been updated, the garden has been spruced up and the layout of the pub is more open and welcoming. The only downside is that they have taken out the jukebox but...they've replaced it with a quiz machine, so I was kept happy.
I can't wait to go back this October to enjoy another great night out.
Doesn't look particularly advertising from the outside but my optimistic mood enlightened by the sun encouraged me to give it a go. I was told to meet my mates in the garden at the back, it looked nicer here than it did from the front.
I strolled past the bowls and sat on a bench, there was a lot of places to sit and a mini park for children to play in. Eventually I sat in and was even impressed with the layout and space inside. The workers are friendly and in fact this is the same place my Nan and Grandad visit once a week and they never have a bad word to say about the pub. They play darts here and my friends are always taking advantage of the cheap food prices.
A much nicer place than what it is given credit for.
A decent public house, roomy with a nice outside area.
I didn't eat, so cannot comment on the cuisine.
As I was riding my scooter I only had soft drinks.
The atmosphere was friendly. A karaoke was on as it was a bank holiday.
