I started March pretty well, in terms of competition wins. On the first of the month, a Tweet popped up from The Punchbowl in Mayfair, telling me I’d won dinner for four. EPIC. As my parents were due a visit, I thought it’d be the perfect chance for me to treat them for a change (as usually, it’s definitely the other way round. The student in me lives on).

What a great evening. We've eaten in more pubs than I can remember but Tonight the food was good the service was great and the atmosphere perfect. Thankyou.

The food was really good. I had the Beef shin & oyster pie with mashed. Came with broccolini and a side of Gravy. Delicious with quality pieces of beef inside the pie and an oyster on top. Paired nicely with a pint of cider. Restaurant could use some updating, but it has been around for several hundred years, so in line with authenticity.

It was our 51st anniversary and we had a great meal and the staff was wonderful. Excellent fish and chips and the Guinness was wonderful! Highly recommend this pub!
