Herne Tavern play area to be demolished

[the-e-dealer]

Went there today Very Quiet Few Kids on the Frame but loads of empty tables. Food ? Well A Poor Courgette that had seen better days a Tasty but unroasted Nut Roast. 2 Very Nice Roast Potatoes. My Meaty Friend Didnt like the half chicked dumped on her plate. I'm no expert but it sort of looked unfinished! My Boy played Minecraft on my Phone. Good lad.

i think they are revamping the garden, not getting rid of it,it still will be a beer garden with play area,

[lizzie]

Not impressed with the new Sunday evening food menu - over a tenner for a cheeseburger and chips!! And they've got rid of the quiz burger special

Unfortunately that seems to have been the norm round here for quite some time!

Wouldn't say 10 pounds for a cheeseburger and chips is expensive in fact for London that's pretty reasonable...

[TillieTrotter]

Really. I think that's very expensive but then if I'm eating out I wouldn't normally eat a burger.

[natty01295]

you can get that much cheaper Mcdonalds, And Local Cafes are cheaper

[the-e-dealer]

Yeah but MC Donalds are sh1t

[natty01295]

chips are pricy in the herne ?2.50 for small portion

[the-e-dealer]

At what exchange rate?

[natty01295]

Get Weatherall down on a Sunday afternoon and who cares about the climbing frame

[ratty]

Great idea Steve!

Bear in mind I haven't been to The Herne Tavern in a while (for the reasons i'm about to highlight) so forgive me if this isn't still true but I think the biggest issue the beer garden has there is the huge extractor flu from the kitchen that is way too loud and also blows out chip fat grease and smell all day creating not the most relaxing or pleasant place to have a drink. The other problem I think is the way it seems to be divided up into loads of different sections by all those banks, it's all a bit weird. Has potential to be a good pub for everyone I reckon if that all gets sorted.

We went to the Herne last night with friends, and the new menu is lovely, we really enjoyed the food. Sharing plates are a good size and make nice starters, and our mains (steak, lamb, salmon and vege) were great. I had a quick look outside and I think the climbing frame has gone, but I couldn't really see whether the new play area was there yet. ?100 for 4 people, 3 courses and drinks, pretty good. As our closest pub I'm looking forward to going more often.

[Linz]

How's the drink selection now? Have the started diversifying a bit now or is it still whatever the brewery will give them?

[Pickle]

I'm not really an ale drinker, so didn't take much notice of the range, sorry.

Hi All,

We just wanted to let you know that phase 1 of The Herne Tavern refurb is now nearly complete and we will be re-opening tomorrow at 4pm after a hard week of improvements. Lots has been done to add to the work we've been slowly doing over the last few months and we are pretty happy with the outcome.

It's all very exciting and we are very much looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible over the next few weeks.

[wavyline girl]

Noooo! I have such fond memories of the Herne's back garden as a child? peddling my gokart, Prince the dog.

It had a magical quality to it back then.

[jimbo1964]

Looking forward to trying the new garden.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I'm confused. Isn't this picking up a very old thread?

[standswithfist]

im sure i've heard the Herne is up for sale again anyway?
