First things first, the niceties. Ordered the Sausage and Mash with gravy which cost around a fiver or so, very tasty, piping hot, very nice.
Downsides, the staff are miserable as sin, especially the woman who served me, think she was the Landlady (!) face like a smacked backside, not even a hint of a smile, food took an age to turn up on a quiet miserable weekday, ho hum.
Good value grub, don't expect John Lewis levels of customer service though folks.

Popped in here for a drink and glanced at some of the meals being dished out which looked delicious, read some reviews on Trip Advisor so we gave it a go, and boy, we weren't disappointed. We both had the Big Maka (cheese and bacon burger) asked for two lots of fries, the waitress suggested we just order one portion, very thoughtful in retrospect!
Gorgeous thick beautifully cooked burger, loads of tasty bacon and cheese, lovely fries with skins on, plenty for two, friendly attentive service from all the lovely staff, I can't recommend the place high enough...

Had the Roast Beef baguette, 'Roast Beef' is a slight exaggeration, processed slice supermarket meat. Came in an ok baguette, horseradish was advertised on the dish, probably half a tea spoon as I could hardly taste it.
Came with salad, very nice crunchy coleslaw, cucumber, a few sprogs of vine tomatoes, and the usual peppery lettuce that pubs like so much but I hate.
Acceptable but for six quid, nothing special.

The Crown's always been one of my favourite bars in Brizzle, you want Metal, you got it, but I've never eaten here so thought I'd give it a go one Bank Holiday Monday.
Good menu, lots of favourites, all at decent prices. I went for a good old Burger with Monterey Jack Cheese and bacon, also fries and a few onion rings came as standard. The Burger arrived...oh my Gawd, it's huge! Double Burger, thick nicely cooked pattys, lovely crispy fries and proper onion rings.
Quite delicious, and one of the best Burgers I've tasted, especially as it's not advertised as 'gourmet', and one I failed to finish so filling was it!!
Highly recommended.

Excellent selection of Ciders on offer so that was a good start, had a 'Cam' Ploughmans which consisted of some good quality Cheese, bread, some pickled onions, half a pork pie and Branston pickle.
It was nice but could have done with some salad, and why do you only get a measly portion of butter at so many Pubs?
For a fiver though it was a nice snack on a Summers day.

Ordered the Black & Blue Burger, burger with blue cheese.
First the only negative, not the blue cheese I was expecting, very mild, but that's the only minus point, huge pile of gorgeous melted cheese on a delicious beef patty- nice bun, good texture, not dry and falling apart under the weight of the beast of a burger.
Lovely crisp curly fries, coleslaw, all for £8, good service, though the place was dead on a Tuesday in May, a burger-tastic meal.

Popped in for a bite to eat one miserable January day .Hoegarden on tap was a good start, pricey but worth it.
Food wise I opted for a New York style sarnie, nice white bread, Pastrami, American mustard and Emmental cheese with salad. The salad was pretty poor though, slightly dried up lettuce, two small slices of cucumber and tomato, the sandwich was hardly bursting with filling but was never the less still tasty.
My partner had a toasted mozzarella and ham sandwich which she said was very good, and filling.
The interior of the Pub though clean and modern is a bit dark, though the classic Victorian urinals were a pleasant (if that's the word) surprise.
I have to admit I try and avoid bars/restaurants that only have a 'British' menu whilst abroad, anyone who goes to Burger chain should be shot (though not literally) but after 5 days eating some nice local cuisine, and reading good reviews of the place I thought I'd go back to basics just for the day.
Opted for the 'Special' Cheeseburger, basically the normal with bacon and egg (bleugh, no thanks!) the Burger though nothing huge was very tasty, nice big chips, salad including those big fat Mediterranean tomatoes, with a large ice cold beer for under €10, not bad.
The only negative would be the location, its bang on the main Kefalos road with traffic wizzing past you quite often, Roadside Cafe would be more apt!

It's a Weatherspoons so if you've been to one recently you'll know what to expect on the menu.I opted for the Hot Dog and chips with a free pint of Stowford Press for five and a half quid, excellent value for money and a nice meal, nicely cooked chips, a BIG frankfurter in a crispy baguette with american style mustard-tasty.
My partner went for the chicken balti as it was 'Curry Night', she said the curry was very nice, it certainly smelt good, it came with rice, popadom, naan bread and mango chutney, again with a free pint.
Service was very good, a pleasant experience in a beautiful seaside town.

A new year, a new City visited and time for the first Burger of the year.The Mitre Pub is owned by the Beefeater chain, a nice olde Pub in the heart of Oxford, it looked inviting, and on a cold Winter's day I didn't need much persuading.
I went for the obligatory Cheese and Bacon Burger with fries.The meal arrived about 10 minutes later piping hot and looking not bad at all.Good thick, nicely cooked piece of meat, chunky chips, side salad and mayo and relish dips, all tasted good.
The only minus point was the cheese (a slice of Emmental) wasn't melted at all, just plonked on top of the Burger with the Bacon as an after thought.Other than that small criticism, two thumbs up and pretty tasty.

Popped in for a bite to eat one weekday evening, standard Wetherspoons fayre, I opted for the 'Gourmet Burger' with a free pint thrown in for just under £8.Well that's a bargain in anyone's book but even more so in the heart of the Big Smoke where a pint is over £4 on it's own.
But the proof of the pudding (or Burger) is in the eating.
Well I've previously had this meal In Bournemouth, and very nice it was too, and this was just as good. Nicely cooked meaty slice of Cow, topped with Bacon, Stilton and Shropshire Blue & spring onion sauce, two dips (Relish, Mayo) plus some nice chunky chips and 'real' Onion Rings to accompany it.
The only negative was the bun was a bit limp and pretty much fell apart when picked up, it could have done with toasting, but other than that a tasty meal at a bargain price.

Popped in one wet Sunday afternoon for something to eat, thankfully they served food all day, something most of the other pubs in down didn't!
I chose the Ploughmans lunch which was called some other name which I don't recall and cost about £7, be warned Lyme Regis does not do cheap eats, one pub (The Cobb Inn) was charging £8 for a basic burger and chips!
The lunch was a fair size though most of the plate was taken up by the wedge of brown bread, pity we were supplied with the usual underwhelming portion of hard butter (a favourite trait of the UK pub/restaurant).The ploughmans usual, Cheddar and Stilton cheese, pickled onions, coleslaw, fruit chutney (very tasty too) and a rather small portion of salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato) came with the lunch.
Not a bad meal but nothing special.

The Old Inn's been getting some good reviews from the locals so I thought it was time to haul ass there to try one of their Burgers.
£6-75 for a double Burger, Bacon, Cheese and Chips seemed a good choice, and it didn't disappoint.
Nice large, well cooked, and quality, couple of slabs of Cow, Bun wasn't the best at supporting the weight of the Bovine, not really a problem. Nice ample portion of chips, fresh salad (cucumber, tomato, pepper, lettuce)
Thumbs up!

We visited the Pub twice over a weekend,firsly to watch the Footy on a Sunday, loads of screens but the sound muted which I thought was fair for an establishment like this, not the type of place you want a load of chavs shouting their heads off.Called in the following day for some food, I ordered a Burger and Chips, Burger was excellent, good quality Bovine, not the largest portion of chips and it must be said miniscule 'sides', only a tiny bit of lettuce and a two slices of tomato, is it really that cost effective not to chuck a piece of cheese on top for free?Still, what there was of it was good and the staff were very attentative and polite

Popped in one beautiful Saturday afternoon for lunch after a walk around the Town and the
Cathedral.
Went for the Bacon, Brie (and Cranberry) sandwich which is one of my favourites and I wasn't disappointed.
A choice of White, Brown or Ciabata bread was on offer, had to be ciabata, the sandwich came with a light tasty salad and crisps.
Nice tasty bacon and brie, the addition of cranberry was a nice juicy touch, the only minus point would be that the very nice roll could have been toasted slightly.
Nice food, in a very nice setting, a Pub with plenty of Olde world charm!

Popped in for a snack on our final day in the town. Opted for something quick and simple, Burger and chips for 12TL (about £4).
The Burger was piping hot and quite tasty, came with lettuce and gherkins (eughh). a scattering (i.e about a dozen or so) of chunky chips and a coke (had to ask for ice)
Not a bad snack, but nothing to get too excited about, it wouldn't have hurt to chuck a slice of cheese in the burger but hey-ho!

Visited one weekday afternoon, Pub has been recently refurbished and looks bright with nice furnishings, leather sofas etc .
Ordered the Gammon, Chips and pineapple with no peas, food was piping hot, and tasty though it must be said not the largest meal for just over a fiver, some additional salad would have been nice.
Still, recommended.

We visited Cloud 9 on the strength of online reviews and wasn't disappointed. I had the chicken breast with chips, rice and salad, generous portions, chicken was nice and moist.
Service was very good and the place is nicely situated on the front, you get great views of the paraglyders landing in the day.
The only minus point was drinks were a bit pricey compared to other places, but this shouldn't put you off a visit.

Popped in here one afternoon for a quick snack.I chose a Cheese Burger and chips, not rocket science to throw together, well for the 'Chef' at this joint it was!
Limp bun, dry that fell into pieces when you bit into it, the Burger thin and luke warm at a push, had it seen a grill? all topped with the limpest most anaemic slice of cheese imaginable, only cast 12TL (about a fiver)...I should have asked for my money back even at that price.
They do show loads of live football but reading other reviews about possible watered down drinks this has put me off visiting just for a drink sadly.
Come on Shadows, you've got wall to wall competion in the Town, food this poor is totally unacceptable.

I have to admit I've had some bad Burger experiences in previous Weatherspoons (Chepstow's The Bell Hanger and The V-Shed in Bristol spring to mind) dry, pretty tasteless seemed to be the norm for this company.
Not actually realising this was a Weatherspoons Pub my Partner and I popped in for a meal, we both opted for the 'Gourmet Burger' a '100% British Beef Burger' topped with two bacon slices and a Stilton, Shropshire blue & spring onion sauce, pus onion rings and fries.Very tasty it was too, tasted freshly cooked (as it should!) the fries, rings and sauce were all good quality.
The meal was very good value too, we managed to get a special offer of a free drink thrown in for under £7 each, though this was earlier in the year so I can't confirm this offer is still available.
Service was very good and a nice Pub enviroment with a fairly good choice of Beers etc.
