Just had a good laugh reading some of the old reviews of the Burrington Inn. Either 1 star or 5 star!
I'd have given it 1 star first time I visited, expecting a pub, but once I realised it was a cafe with beer, I thought the place was great. Sure it was a bit tired and run down and the service was sometimes a bit slow, but the location was great, the food was decent and cheap and the staff were great too. Clearly those that
got it, liked it and those that couldn't see past the 1970's decor were never going to be won over, much like Bernies I guess...
Anyway, having just seen who's taken it over, I shall have to pay a visit next time I'm passing*
* to caveat that, I'll stop in next time I'm passing during opening hours, as I doubt they'll be open tomorrow night after digging
