I was taken to The Bishop last weekend for the first time and was quite impressed. My owner was meeting some friends there to show me off (it isn't long since I got my shots and was able to start going out so she's still in that excitable stage I suppose!) and we spent a most enjoyable couple of hours sitting outside while they all caught up.

I found the wooden benches quite pleasant; smooth and wide enough for me to lie down comfortably. I was glad as I didn't much like the look of the pavement - why do humans throw so much crap on the floor? The bar staff smiled at me and patted me on the head as they collected glasses, but frustratingly, neither me or my owner realised just how dog-friendly this pub is - we've since discovered we'd have been perfectly welcome inside!! One can never assume such things but we'll be asking around a lot more now - after all, even a puppy has a hectic social calendar these days...

    Not feeling it
    Current
    Quite like it, do go back, but am generally disappointed every time. Going to be a rubbish review as I can't quite put my finger on it...some of the time, some of the punters just seem to be trying that bit too hard.

    And please update the veggie choice - risotto or scary portebello mushrooms, always.

    Love Clarence (resident dog) but doesn't the loud music get to him sometimes??

    chilled with great food
    Current
    my favourite local, relaxed enough to go in with the weekend papers and enjoy their meaty brunch, but at the same time inclusive enough to take your parents for a meal.
    Family friendly, wide selection of food which is available till 10pm, nice beer. If you can get one of the window tables its a bonus, but watch out for Clarence jumping up to sit in the window!!
