Who the hell is Gordon Ramsay, anyway?

If you thought this was an advertorial for that well known gentleman, think again! It's for The Riverside Brewery Tap, Marsden instead! After a day of hard work, sunshine and watching people throw themselves at, up and off some Pule Hill testpieces, we retired to the Brewery Tap, and dined in fine style. I'm usually cynical about pub food. Here are some examples:
"Home cooked food" where else would they cook it?
"Good Food!" as opposed to what? Crap food?
"A welcoming atmosphere" actually, I prefer hostility with my chips.
I could go on, but I'll spare you. This place is outstanding, and if you didn't make it to Pule Hill, you should hang your head in shame. We climbed some great routes and made new friendships, and then relaxed at the end of it all in no rush to go home. This is what my guidebook team is all about. Forget commercial imperatives, imminent deadlines and "need". We're here because we love it; what's your excuse?

Great place, the Riverhead. Single-handedly resurrected Marsden's pub life!
