The Clock House Pub

[woodycheese]

Just wanted to rave about the Sunday roast we had at The Clock House pub yesterday; it was absolutely delicious and a vast improvement to food I have eaten there over the past few years. I think the new management have really pulled their socks up in the kitchen so long may this last.

price ??

taste ??

When did the management change?

[woodycheese]

Price = ?15.50

Taste = very tasty but could have gone with a little less seasoning in the gravy

Overall = Very good

They undertook a big refurb in April, hired a new chef and revamped all the menus. Young's Brewery are promoting seasonal British food with a home-cooked feel so they will be regularly changing the menu to achieve this.

I have been going to The Clock for years and always felt the food wasn't up to par but I am really impressed with this new chef and hope he stays for a while....

?15.50!! Too pricey for me. Scarcely any potatoes and no veg??

[Jeremy]

Were the potatoes crispy? (they don't look it in the photo, but hard to say)

Beige food

[woodycheese]

There was a selection of chopped veg, roast parsnips and cabbage underneath the chicken and the roasties were pretty crisp.

[holloway]

that doesn't look to great to me

[ken78]

?15.50 for pub roast that's a lot of money for what you got, and all the veg under the rest looks more like cafe roast.nice presentation {not}

[Earl Aelfheah]

I had a good roast at the Watson Telegraph a few weeks back.

[ShannonBrady1]

Doesn't look good to me, too.

Well it's not Beige on my laptop screen.. apart from say the mixed veg..

But looks like a small plate to make the food look bigger.

Dont look great for ?15.50 But the O.P enjoyed it enough to take a piccy and post it on here.

So lets not get too judgemental.. We did not get to taste it..

..And in reality, the same price of a burger and fries in some places.

...and the same price as say, lets choose something entirely at random, pizza or cheese on toast?

Sorry OP but have to agree with the others, a whopping 15.50 for something that doesn't look great. 'A little less seasoning in the gravy' doesn't entice either. Was it marco pierre shite stock pots or home-made?

[Elphinstone's Army]

This looks like discarded food scraped from other diners plates, cold and inedible. Is your post ironic : the only tweaking your meal required was less seasoning in the (gallon of) gravy?

[Seabag]

Maybe sometimes the 'just getting out' makes it all taste better, even with less than brilliant food

I've eaten just about most proper places, but I still don't mind the odd 'gravy dinner' and the opportunity to just relax

That said, I used to love dinners at boarding school and there's some resemblance here

Well you can always go down / up N.C. Rd. ad pay ?6 - ?7 for a Dog in a Bun. Free Mustard
