“The Old Poets' Corner strikes a chord with its genuine pub atmosphere, complete with a welcoming fireplace and attentive, friendly staff. I found the food, particularly the hearty sausage and mash and the remarkably large hot dogs, to be a definite draw, though the lasagna, while pleasing to many palates, leaned towards a more British interpretation of Italian flavour. It's a place that clearly understands hospitality, from the themed Titanic rooms with their complimentary beers to the readily available walking routes right on the doorstep, making it an appealing stop for those seeking a comfortable, well-situated break.”
