Reviewing BANGERS AND MASH at the 'OLDEST PUB IN ENGLAND'!

[@davidmansfield5602]

I used to drink there in 1965 and after . Wondfull pub then, used to sit in the barrel room and the landlord used to come out and sit with the drinkers in those days on a winters night only maybe 6 or 8 of us. Happy memories.

[@GaryEats]

Brilliant story. Thanks for sharing - a truly wonderful pub!

[@CatherineDover]

Great story, thanks

[@jeffreyday4004]

Just shy over twenty quid for a great meal and a half pint in great surroundings, I think that is fair enough these days. Great vids Gary, thanks

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jeffrey!

[@realessence]

Old pubs that have a traditonal fireplace are amazing and feel cozy on winter days. The food looks really nice. I wouldn't mind paying higher price for a memorable meal once in a while. Glad it isn't a tourist trap.

[@GaryEats]

Oh yes. It's a lovely place.

[@KeefsCattys]

I had a bit of a thing about Sausage ,mash and onion gravy back in the 90's and went down to England for a fishing holiday for two weeks . We ate out every night and I had the same meal in 14 different places from Norfolk to London to Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Herefordshire . I dont remember all of them now but I still recall that the worst was in North London , but the best was in Hay-on-Wye. I still remember it clearly and its serving of Home baked brown bread and butter on the side . A totally pointless story as I guess most or all the establishments are now gone but hope you tolerated reading haha

[@GaryEats]

Of course. I love reading comments so I appreciate the longer ones to get stuck into 😊

[@thekitowl]

Your story isn’t pointless because many of us have great memories of meals & they won’t be forgotten. It was nice reading your memories.

[@CatherineDover]

Not pointless at all I love reading the comments. Cheers!

[@ThanhBenMansour]

I would pay the high prices to ensure the survival of a historic pub. It's also expensive these days to run older establishments as their heating and electricity bills tend to be higher than newer buildings.

[@GaryEats]

That's a fair point. Thanks for watching!

[@dentydent6423]

Too right,it’s not a pokey cocktail bar. It’s a pint in a bit of history ,worth the extra shillings

[@edteach3r]

Well said!

[@josepherhardt164]

I don't want to know how much it costs to heat a place like that for an English winter. I live in Richmond, Va., in a 1950's-era house with a gas-fired boiler system, and during bad Januaries and Februaries the gas part of the utilities can threaten $400.

[@patterdale4332]

My electric is £250 per month and gas £350 per month that's with underfloor heating and a huge gas boiler although it's a large house it's still expensive

[@johnoconnor7536]

Gary. The sausage did look a bit undercooked to me but will take your word on it being cooked through because you enjoyed the taste so much. The ingredients a looked really good but let down by the portion size of the mash. I know you got what you said was on the tin but the plate looked to lack a bit of greenery and think something like spring cabbage would be a welcome addition. You think it was a bit on the pricey side and I would agree but not overly so. I think £16 would be a reasonably price but with larger portion of mash. Overall I think I would score it 8/10.

[@GaryEats]

Very fair comment. I didn't mind the sausages like that but can understand why others prefer it a bit more cooked. Thanks mate, hope you're well!

[@simonjones7766]

It looked very nice gary,but as you said a bit pricey,i think if you had an extra sausage,bit more mash and some garden peas,it would be worth the money,great review as always gary! 👍🏻😁

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Simon. I completely agree with you.

[@780jodie]

i agree

[@Dusyanya]

Surely, when it comes to food, it's the quality, not the quantity.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@jeremyalexander8442 Totally agree!

[@uglenddalejones2]

*Excellent- and highly highly recommended 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* A fair review on the marks too. Chef needs mentioning again. Sounds like he believes in good food and it reflects in his plates ,bravo

[@GaryEats]

Agreed. The chef was very friendly and informative as well. Thanks for watching!

[@malcolmbrooks2696]

Hi Gary, Big Mal here again of 'Lassi sweet ' tip, this is second time this week you've reviewed a place familiar to me, the sausage cafe at Pottursbury, where i live now, and Royal Standard of England in Beconsfield where i used to live near, but drank there years ago with the wife. That Bangers and Mash looked the Business. Nice memories. Good Luck mate. 🎉😊 Big Mal

[@GaryEats]

How you doing Malcolm? This is a superb pub mate

[@waynefoulkes2017]

honestly gary youre channel is amazing youre so laid back love watching this

[@GaryEats]

Honestly appreciate that so much Wayne. Thank you mate.

[@charlielarton]

Yes like my wife. She lays back

[@danajeannenorris3036]

I was a travel agent before I retired; the UK was my favor place to visit. I would gladly pay the 18GBP for that dish in that pub. The bits and pieces of the pub I can see...yes, its very old. Just exquisite.

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely fantastic to hear, thank you very much

[@nicolesydneylife]

I am so envious of that meal, one of my most favourite meals… the sausages look delicious!

[@GaryEats]

I have to say this was a fantastic pub, Nicolas

[@CatherineDover]

I absolutely love the British pubs and may they reign forever. I thought a bit more mash to go with the luscious gravy and perhaps some veg would have supported the price. Thank you Gary for making me hungry again!!

[@GaryEats]

I agree with you that would make it perfect

[@robertleach9120]

I agree about the price Gary -a bit out of my league for bangers & mash but at least it was a quality home made meal & the pub itself is well worth a visit, even just for a drink as the decor is amazing and I love historical places and this was up there for sure.

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Robert. In all honesty, the location was a bigger pull than the food. Beaconsfield is quite expensive... thanks Robert. Hope you're well in Oz.

[@veronicanicell5935]

Did most of my courting in this pub over 40 years ago, lovely building in a beautiful village, it looks just the same. Always was expensive but good value for money. Thank yoh for the trip down memory lane

[@GaryEats]

Wonderful. It's a beautiful pub!

[@user-ye2ge4zo5lhennypenny]

Just having another look at this fantastic video! Cant believe the age of this amazing pub Gary and that huge fire place! Love anything with history attached to it! The rustic sausages yummy 😋 ❤ supherb review as always Gary! You will have to go back there sometime! ❤🎉

[@PLWareham]

Great review Gary. Have been to the Royal Standard a few times. Last time I went I had the Beef Wellington and I have to say it was a bit overcooked but that was quite some time ago. Think I need to return and try that Bangers and Mash. You say its pricy but it is Beaconsfield. Just look at some of the houses you pass to get there!

[@GaryEats]

It’s pricey indeed but yes location is a factor

[@MattWilliams482]

I love this place, been many times. Lovely beer on tap and some good traditional food.

[@GaryEats]

Couldn't agree more!

[@leeirvine1784]

Great review Gary, for that price I would have wanted 3 sausages and like you said more mash. I will say this, I reckon these will be the same sort of prices when you go further up North, I’ve found food just as expensive as the South East. Keep up the great work!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Lee, appreciate that mate. I really hope not, that's a big reason why I'm going up there haha. We will see and thank you again :)

[@stephaniewhite9526]

Thank you for another amazing review Gary. I could see how beautiful those sausages were but I do feel too expensive and also they really needed to add something extra on the plate to make it a meal. But a beautiful pub and I really enjoyed all the history you included too.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for your kind words as always Stephanie. Always very appreciative!

[@Deadman1957TEB]

You could almost smell the old age of the place, the history coming out of those walls. That menu was amazing, did I see correctly a sharing meal for £80? How many share? That bangers & mash did look good, as you said a bit tight on the mash and some fresh garden peas wouldn't of gone a miss, I love thick onion gravy and it did look good, plenty of meat in the sausage with no unwanted grease oozing out! Because of the surroundings and the good cooking you can see where they get their prices from, but as it's all in house they must save on a number of things, so I would think a fairer price would be around £13.95, but as a one off and you've just won a tenner on the lottery, I'd give it a go! Well filmed and voiced review as usual!

[@GaryEats]

A very good assessment and one that I completely agree with. Thanks Deadman :)

[@noobsabbot1133]

Hi, thank you for the content. UK is definitely on the bucket list, and who knows if I would've ever even heard about the destinations you're sharing without seeing them here.

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy your stay in the UK.

[@geordiejones2]

Hi Gary great vlog as always my friend, loved your bangers and mash they looked real quality, and to make in house is amazing, that's why i think you paid a little extra. I was a bit shocked when uncle fester appeared at 5:04 in the back ground, it really must be the oldest pub in England. I love The Rose & Crown at 13 Lawrence Street York, there bangers and mash are amazing and made with red onions giving them a great sweet taste, plus they add herbs to the potato. Keep up the good work my friend, Chris.

[@martindunstan8043]

Uncle Fester 🤣🤣👍

[@GaryEats]

I laughed out loud at Uncle Fester. Location was also a big reason why the price was so high but I do agree that because it's made in-house that it was a bit more expensive. I will have a look at the Rose & Crown, I do already have a few places on the list so I will see if I have time. Cheers Chris, have a good one!

[@MalcolmJames-sg3zg]

Gary any chance of another all you can eat buffet, i loved the last one you done THANKS

[@GaryEats]

Yes I can Malcolm. It's on the list - thanks!

[@johnbluett6079]

What a lovely building to have a meal.Expensive bangers and mash but some this vs are worth the price as a treat

[@GaryEats]

Agreed John. Lovely place.

[@lozzywalker]

Great video, proper pint too! Best mash i've had has to be either Mother Mash or homemade (mum knows best!)

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much

[@geoffreymcdonnell9869]

Yes Gary went their with a friend a few years ago and agree with you but we (did)find it rather expensive, but what the heck for a once off experience ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT😊

[@GaryEats]

Yes it was! See you on the next one Karen!

[@Lord-Brett-Sinclair]

Fantastic review ,Fantastic Pub for a special occasion, eating out is expensive, I would not say its excessive for a historic Pub of that quality and" The best bangers and mash you have ever had" if I am passing again I will be calling in.

[@GaryEats]

Well said! Hope you enjoy when you visit!

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Hello Gary, you are finding such beautiful establishment's, the food could almost be an afterthought, almost 😊 Simple, done well is the strength of British catering ❤ whilst you were eating CTP could have had a wandered about the place showing his ability (😮) Unless the sight of the drooling, dripping, dribbling no longer has an effect on you? I'm putting myself in CTP's shoes 😂That's an old fashioned rib sticker meal 🍴 😊 Plump Porkiers,Silky Mashed Potatoes, Onion Gravy. My opinion, no need for chopped chives as garnish. A great looking plate of food. Over 900yrs old,we accept that prices will have gone 👆, but still a bit pricey? Maybe a 3rd sausage or something ,crusty bread&butter? Well worth a visit if only to view the place. Safe travelling, and to the next one, onwards Allan&Family ❤😊

[@GaryEats]

I agree Allan. Just a bit too pricy for me but the food was excellent. I think it's a great place to go to if you're interested in your history! Hope you're well my friend.

[@michaelmcdonald5175]

My favourite Bangers and Mash were made by me, and predictably the more expensive sausage always makes for a better meal. The longer and lower you cook the sausage gives more flavour and a dark brown sticky/sweet finish. Yours didn't look sticky to me, maybe something the Restaurant could take into account. Long and Low is where it's at. I've heard some people use a defuser to elongate the cooking time, a step too fat for me but for the price you paid...

[@GaryEats]

The sausages here were excellent if a tiny tiny bit undercooked

[@chrisryanst]

Yes price was excessive but if it had been crap then id complain big time ut you were obviously amazed and happy and that's what counts

[@GaryEats]

I think it was still a bit too expensive. A few quid cheaper and I wouldn't have minded. The place itself is incredible and I would highly recommend it. Cheers Chris!

[@user-vr1mu9eb3p]

Hi Gary what an extraordinary historic pub, I would absolutely go there for the homemade sausages and mash , best I have seen in your reviews so far. 10 🍺🎉

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it, this is a very good pub

[@johnconlon3848]

Hi Gary great review. I normally wouldn’t watch a banger a and mash review but that looked stunning. Well done to them👍👍

[@GaryEats]

It was very tasty, but it was expensive, John

[@johnmurphy1466]

Yes sausages looked bang on Gary, I do love bangers and mash with onion gravy, although I’ve not really had the privilege to order that as yet but I do make it at home. I would of been disappointed with the size of the mash though 😖

[@GaryEats]

Agree John. I needed a little more. The more I think about it, I think an 8/10 would have been fair but the location swayed me. Make it for yourself over the next couple of days - have a good week.

[@rubusroo68]

I don't think I've ever bought sausage and mash in a restaurant but toad in the hole with mash is one of my favourite things to cook at home with red onion gravy and nice pork sausages

[@GaryEats]

Sorry for the late response, sounds delicious!

[@chrislazarou7491]

What an amazing place to eat in, I think you pay a premium in such a place but so worth it

[@GaryEats]

Spot on Chris. Hope you're well!

[@Nigel-fy5jg]

A piece of crusty bread for soaking up that gravy would have been handy. There was a pub similar to that in Norwich but unfortunately one half is now Wetherspoons and the other half a building society. Excellent review once again.

[@GaryEats]

Good point Nigel and thank you

[@accskaguy]

My favorite place for pub style sausage with mash and vegetables and great gravy in Calgary is the Kensington Pub. They serve an entire coil sausage for your dinner. I have yet to finish the plate without taking a good portion home for later.

[@GaryEats]

Sounds great, Very nice!

[@pippin1ful]

The best bangers and mash for me was at the Nelson Head, Horsey, Norfolk. Three rare breed pork sausages on a bed of mashed potato and swede, dressed with young leeks, and lashings of gravy. I have a pic but I can't post it here. Yours, Gary, was equally as great!

[@GaryEats]

That is fantastic to hear and on this occasion they were very good but expensive

[@annecunnings7886]

Looked delicious, agree it was a bit expensive though. Wonderful old building - that's why I like Europe so much, here in Australia we have only had European settlement for quite a short time in comparison so the age of your buildings is incredible. Kindest regards as always.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for watching Anne. Glad you enjoyed it. Also plenty of things that Australia has over Europe... would love to visit.

Love going there in the summer. My favourite local pub.

Beaconsfield prices for you Gary - looked tasty but I agree with other comments on an extra banger and some more mash. 7 out of 10 for me due to the price point.

[@GaryEats]

Cheers Joe. Fair comment, maybe I was too kind. I think the location swayed me a little. Cheers mate!

[@GerwynDavies-vy7gk]

Fantastic looking pub. Meal looked great also but, as you said, £18.95 for sausage and mash is extremely expensive.

There's so many places that get good old Sausage and Mash so wrong, but that looks fantastic and chopped chives on top as well!!!! Lets hope that no Ghosts were trying to nick your mash Gary?? The best Sausage and Mash I have ever had was at the Sarancens Head at Halsall near Ormskirk in Lancashire, a great pub on the banks of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and the food was to die for, and all local produce, meat, fish and vegatables. Alas, since Covid its never been the same and haven't been for over a year...very sad!

There used to be a proper butcher in the Grainger Market in Newcastle. He made pork and black pudding sausage on demand . So you saw him make them in front of you ,they were fresh. They weren't the cheapest but they were the tastiest I've ever had.

About a week ago I met up with some friends and we visited 'The White Hart Hotel' in Whitchurch in Hampshire and three of us had bangers and mash and it was also great with nice creamy mash and lovely sausages too. The gravy was nice too and they added a small portion of runner beans and peas with the onions. We had some really nice '3B' beer brewed by the Arkles brewery to accompany the meal. The sweet course was nice too. Very good indeed but I think your meal on this video is the best. The staff were extremely friendly at 'The White Hart' and I've been there a couple of times and really enjoy their food. Another great video and thanks for uploading. All of a sudden I'm feeling very hungry. 🙂

[@ngatiramona]

Wow, great garden! That was really special for the Chef to come out and greet you. 18.95, not too bad.. agree would be better with more mash. No service charge was good. Best bangers and mash.. my mum and Dad's. Restaurant.. was at an old English owned cafe in the Bay. Local made sausages with butter cream mash and bacon onion gravy. Peas and carrots. Heart attack on a plate but worth it. Hope the cameraman got to nosh as well. He's got my maternal "Have you eaten today" fretting instinct on.😂😊 Much support and love to you both!❤❤❤❤❤

Hi again Gary "Old Son". When I saw the price of the food; I had an almighty Myocardial Infarct!. The wife had to start up the defibrillator again. That pub; nice as it may be, is *NOT* for Scotsmen. The Pork sausages look yummo but they should have been called *SODDING GOLD PLATED BANGERS & MASH* BTW mate, the best sausages I have ever tasted are the ones I make here at home. I have my own sausage mincer and sausage stuffer, and after tasting the butcher's and supermarket sausages; I prefer my own. Frequently, depending on the type of protein I use; I give it a wee dram of the finest Islay 17 year old Scotch. and for other recipes I use VSOP Cognac, and sometimes a good brandy. I can never chose a better way of getting drunk (LOL) but find that cooking burns off the alcohol, but leaves a beautiful taste in the mouth. BTW mate; Evelyn and I had a wonderful 52 Wedding Anniversary. We went out to lunch and I ordered a nice sirloin steak. The waiter asked my how I would like it done and i replIed: *"BRING IT UP TO BODY TEMPERATURE"* The poor bloke looked at me as said "PARDON?" I said that I wanted blood oozing onto my plate. The poor sod just shook his head and walked away. I could not help but laugh. Mate; where is that pub you are having lunch at? Is that in Buckinghamshire? Well enjoy your eighteen quid Opps I mean sodding sausages mate. BTW mate; that beer does not look cold! 😭 PS. I have been to the *YE OLDE FIGHTING COCKS at St. ALBANS* From memory there were lakes nearby. There were old ruins which I believe Queen BOUDICA punched the life out of when she took on the Romans. Now there was a woman after my own heart. She must have been Scots! :))))

[@GaryEats]

Hello Angus! How have you been? Was starting to get worried. I really should write a letter of apology to your wife for the amount of times she has to go and fetch your defibrillator. I completely understand why you wouldn't like the pub haha. Ah I do love a nice rare steak as well so I'm in agreement with you on that one and congratulations on your anniversary. Yes, it's in Buckinghamshire. I will add that pub to the list as I do want to go! Thanks mate.

[@KarenAllison-b2i]

As you say pretty pricey if you breakdown what you are actually getting for your money, but probably paying more as it’s an historic pub, also Beaconsfield is a lovely place but quite pricey too, not been there for years. The sausages looked a little herby for my liking, but that’s just personal taste, the main thing is you really enjoyed it and loved the pub, so money well spent.

[@philipmckeon8944]

I only found your channel recently Gary. I’m really enjoying it thank you. Unfortunately I’m on a budget and couldn’t pay that much for a meal for one. I love b&m and make it regularly for myself and my 2 daughters costing around €2.50 per portion. (I’m from Ireland) and that’s only because I get 6 premium sausages. Your plate of food looked lovely. However, to me it looked like a bowl of onion gravy with a child’s portion of mash which you couldn’t really see and 2 fine sausages on top. As you were eating, especially the combo bites you struggled to get the mash on cause it simply dropped off being so little and under a puddle of gravy. Great review though and I’m going on the hunt for more of your videos. 👍

[@GaryEats]

Hello Philip. Firstly, thank you for commenting and subscribing! I will agree with you that the portion of the mash wasn't great and therefore I had to mark it down. Thank you very much and hello to Ireland (I'm half Irish myself)!

OMG the royal standard. Did i mention it in a previous post? I think maybe i did along with the saracens head, lol. Before moving to Sarf London back in 84 I lived just behind the red loin by the cricket club. As a 6/7 year old i used to go off up the lanes around there and penn for miles and miles on my push bike. It used to be the defacto winter pub by the fire side with a pint of real ale type place. It can also sometimes be a nightmare tourist trap. The size of their car park ready to accommodate is a little scary in scale lol.

I think you may have done. An excellent suggestion if so!

[@user-ye2ge4zo5lhennypenny]

Hiya Gary looks gorgeous place 😍 Love the series Midsummer Murders watch it all the time!

[@claudiaweidman1004]

The Bangers and Mash and Onion Gravy looked great.

[@GaryEats]

It was!

[@markgozzard]

Thanks Gary you have just made our choice for dinner really easy.. looked amazing👍🏻

[@GaryEats]

Enjoy Mark. Glad to be of service!

[@MaureenPower-n4y]

Another sausage maybe just seems a lot of gravy even though I love gravy 😋,and mash 😋

[@GaryEats]

I agree. One more would have been perfect! Glad you like it also :)

[@fionacotter4287]

Absolutely love Beaconsfield. Beautiful village and one of my favourites in England. Food looked good and I believe you get what you pay for. Homemade sausages - where do you get them nowadays? Solid nine out of ten from me!

[@GaryEats]

It really is Fiona. Lovely place - Thanks for watching!

[@terranceparsons5185]

Its been there since 1200 ish, that"s staggering! Robin Hood used to have a pint and a game of darts!

[@GaryEats]

I guess he won every time lol

[@GrahamFrench247]

I’ve been to that pub, food, beer and atmosphere was excellent. Yes, it’s expensive, but worth it, especially for a treat now and then.

[@GaryEats]

It’s superb Graham. A wonderful pub!

[@Redsaxophone11]

Gary, I think that was a fair mark overall. Nice to see no service charge added which sort of makes up for the somewhat pricier meal. I would be interested to know whether the sausages were coarse-cut or not, they looked rather coarse-cut in the video. I am not a fan of coarse sausages and that would make all the difference to me as to whether I would order this meal or not. The gravy did look really excellent, and as you mentioned, a little extra mash would not have gone amiss as it's quite cheap and relatively easy to produce and would have added to a meal of better value. Great review nevertheless, keep them coming, please.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you my friend :)

[@lizg5574]

That looked sensational, and though at the higher end of the price bracket, I'd say it was worth it! I would pay that for a good, hearty meal! Bangers and mash are on the menu tonight for us! We were going to have them last night, but had a visitor so a change in the menu was made! I hope my mash turns out as good as that looked! And yes, there'll be onion gravy! I will also be adding broad beans (from our own garden) and carrots, as we do love our veggies! The sausages we get are country pork, made locally by an award winning artisinal butcher - they work out at around $4 NZ per banger, so not cheap, but very much worth it! (I cook 4, but only eat one while hubby has 2, saving my second for breakfast tomorrow! A good excuse for an egg and sausage sandwich!)

[@GaryEats]

It was excellent Liz. The building was wonderful as well.

[@waynekerr7838]

Longest B-roll of a Banger and Mash I've ever seen LOL but very effective :) well done for another great video Gary.

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@carloshickin2323]

Love your videos, I love how down to earth you are and how you focus on the food keep up the great work

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much!!

[@jimrichardson5849]

Just looked for Beaconsfield and is the fourth most affluent towns in the UK . Hence those pub prices . 👍

[@GaryEats]

Yep!

[@Deano4322]

I’m going through all your reviews I haven’t seen so apologies for the late comment , that sausage and mash looked incredible but having looked at the menu I’d have gone for the steak and kidney pudding and what a fabulous looking pub , great review as usual my friend 👍

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Deano and I really appreciate you watching the older videos 👌

[@georgefarrington895]

Those sausages look undercooked to me , a few minutes more on the grill is always safer . But it looks the business.

[@GaryEats]

Fair enough George. They were ever so slightly pink but I don't usually mind that. Thanks mate.

[@jimrichardson5849]

I must visit that pub one day . I agree with your opinion , Gary .. £ 19-00 for bangers and mash is a bit too expensive and could have had twice that amount of mash to soak up the gravy . The menu looked good , Gary . How about trying the steak pudding next time . 👍😍

[@GaryEats]

I will do next time Jim. Very pricy but excellent food.

[@jshaers96]

Looking at the hammered beam ceilings, I'm guessing it's probably a listed building and costs more than most pubs to maintain, hence the high prices. You didn't mention the price of the beer, and I'm guessing that wasn't cheap either. Like a few other people in the comments, I think an extra vegetable would have been fair, although the plate looked very big so maybe there was more than met the eye. Great review, Gary.

[@GaryEats]

I agree. I think to justify the price, it needed a little extra. Thanks for watching!

[@marksparkes1]

We went there a few months back. Great atmosphere and architecture. But they did use that to up the prices in my opinion. And you should have tried the ice cream. I kid you not. It came with a teaspoon and I swear they used it to scoop it out. Smallest scoops I’ve ever had.

[@GaryEats]

That is very disappointing to hear, it is located in a very affluent area but I agree the prices are a bit steep Mark

[@tommyball1863]

Just checked the website, the Sodding Sausages have gone up to £19.95 now! It did look amazing, quite an immersive experience I’d say!

[@GaryEats]

Bloody hell, they better be even more sodding good Tommy lol

[@tommyball1863]

@@GaryEats 😂😂

[@richardbowness1595]

Looked delicious! At first, I thought, wow, only two sausages? I didnt realise how big they were,

[@GaryEats]

Hello Richard you could order three but no need as two were big enough

[@leemacgregor]

Great call Gary sausauges looked amazing your score was fair as the sausages looked top notch ! For me, i would say 7.5 mainly based on the price, i can see it at £12 max never the less all the best to the chef !!

[@GaryEats]

Totally agree Lee. Thanks mate :)

[@leesharpe5610]

That pub looked fantastic , food looked great also , i used to be a butcher and love my sausages ,they looked spot on . Only thing that would stop me buying that meal would be the price, but could be tempted lol .Good review again Gary

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Lee 👍 Glad you liked it, the pub is excellent but the food is pricy.

[@howlieMCFC]

Always great content gary them sausages looked belting mate big piece of bread would of moped that gravy up pal 👍🏻

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Howlie. Thanks mate :)
