SIN CITY BURGER REVIEW. As there is no separate page to review Sin City burgers I will leave it here. Our meal was delivered half an hour late, soggy buns, raw onion, cold chips (very small amount for the cost too) and all at a rather premium price. The only good thing was the large patty which was well cooked.

Great double burger with an above decent amount of salad and bacon. Sadly the so-called chunky chips I was looking forward to ended up being just above barely cooked to look so, and so not sure where the word chunky comes into it. The toffee ice cream brownie I enjoyed was so scrumptious I was prepared to let the high price pass by. The other downer that day is that the staff could have sounded a bit more welcoming, or at least the two on duty that lunchtime. The young woman who served me looked really unenthusiastic - her expression serving a visible hint of 'couldn't you have gone somewhere else instead?', while the other chap just sat on one of the tables, more interested in his laptop that who was coming in or going out. Given I was one of just two parties of people in on that afternoon I thought that they would be grateful of any custom. Please don't get me wrong, they were certainly nowhere near Basil Fawlty levels of hostility but could perhaps appear as if they actually like customers instead of putting up with them.

The person on the bar was lovely and very professional. When the food came though the lasagna was literally swimming in water and my mash was tasteless and watery. We asked for a refund for us to be told they don’t blame us for wanting a refund!!! So the Burger King that we had to go to filled a hole. What a shame!

A mix of a decent bar and horrific restaurant. To serve food that has been nowhere near a chef, or has been prepared by someone that's clearly had a zero amount of cooking training, spoilt the great first impressions of this bustling bar. The staff are friendly and efficient, so we decided to grab some food. BIG, BIG mistake! What was dished out can be seen in the pictures...with the menu descriptions next to them, of what it should contain. The bar is great...just don't let a person who's never made food for a paying customer, plate up this...food, apparently. Your menu is great value on the face of it, unless you have to eat your food. This is honestly, the worst example I've ever had, of food served to a customer by a paid for kitchen.

An excellent pub to watch some sport if that is what you are after. The Crafty Scholar has a nice relaxed and easy-going feel about it right from the moment you enter the place and as you move around. There are a good number of TVs of different sizes and the staff are always keen to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The décor and ambience is just right in this pub, with plenty of seats and tables both upstairs and downstairs. Had a lovely time in this pub and would recommend it without hesitation, especially if you want to catch a football match or some other sports event.
