“It has been years since I was last here because I moved out of the area. It was a Monday night and so it was surprisingly quiet with a lot of open tables. We were greeted and welcomed just after we self seated by a server delivering an order to another large table. Shortly afterwards the barkeeper came across and after handling out questions about what was on tap and took our orders. We didn't order food because we'd eaten elsewhere but their pies are excellent! We had a pleasant evening chatting and they didn't pressure us to order more than one drink each. I'm really happy to report that this pub remains a favorite!“
“Good food, cool pub, but could use additional wait staff. Went with the family here on a Friday night at 5:30 and was able to get a booth right away. Note: Don't sit in the first booth as it's freezing in the winter with everyone coming and going. The waitress moved us to the back once another booth was open. Food was pretty quick about 15 min and tasted good. Kids had just plain burgers and fries. The fries were really delicious! The burgers were good, but would have been better if my kids ate toppings. My husband had the stilton burger which had English blue cheese, he said it was good, but not great. I guess he prefers American blue cheese. I had the sherry chicken which was great! Large portions and like true English food, lacked salt on the veggies. Once salt was added it was perfect. My 6 yr old even liked the sauce. By the time we were wrapping up, we noticed our waitress seemed a bit unhappy. Might be due to number of tables and people waiting, but it was noticeable. We had to ask for a water twice for my daughter which still took a good 8 min. The waitress also never stopped by to ask how we were doing. We had to flag her down again for the bill, which is normal for restaurants, but with a line of people waiting, you want tables to open up quickly. I'd say we'll be back, but might try during the week when it's not so busy and the waitress is friendlier. (Note: it was just one waitress that seemed a bit grumpy, everyone else was great).“
“What to do on a blustery spring Saturday? Well, you load up the Scouser neighbors, and you head to the British Pantry! We had a great time! It's a challenge for a WA State Hall of Fame Chef to find a place with food worth bragging about, and this is one, as the food seemed to ferry him cross the mersey. The service was attentive, and the tea was bottomless. In spite of being located in downtown Redmond, the parking was easy. After eating, of course it comes the shopping at the Pantry for baked and boxed goods of all sorts. You will enjoy this stop for sure!“
