I think it is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the entrance to Brownwood on 44. Across from the bronze animals.

Sorry. No, it's opposite Powell Rd. on SR 44. Half mile west of the Brownwood main entrance.

I had their chicken pot pie last night. It was the best I ever ate.

A pub would be awesome. Hope they make shepherd's pie

We went last Sat late afternoon and I had the sheperds pie, it wass quite good. But, my husband and friend ordered the Irish Stew, it was bad, my daughter tasted it and agreed, so they both sent it back and split a rueben which was not very good. I guess can happen but my husband won't go back.

DianeM 05-15-2013 12:43 PM

Shame that they were disappointed. Hate when that happens.

I hope he changes his mind and tries them again. Anyplace can serve something not up to standard once in awhile. It is a nice place with good atmosphere and a varied menu.

Went there tonight based on a number of recommendations from Villagers on TOTV. In a nutshell, it's way over rated. Haddock Fish Fry was OK. No better than the Lighthouse which is a whole lot closer to go to. Shepards Pie, with all due respect to those of you who like it, is mediocre at best, topped with what I am sure were Instant mashed potatoes and a gravy that was totally runny. If you want shepards Pie in Wildwood you will have to go to Polly's Pantry where the SP is top shelf.

Way to far to drive for a mediocre meal in a place that has no aeshtetic appeal whatsoever. Reaffirms my long standing contention that a vast majority of Villagers are indiscriminate when it comes to eating out.

My wife and I went there this afternoon after a movie. My wife had the Irish Stew which at first she liked but then decided it was kind of bitter. I had the fish and chips which I thought was good. The fish was flaky and the breading was good. This is the second time we have been there. As far as we are concerned what we had was all right but nothing out of this world. It's an OK place.

Went there last nioght. WE would rate it "Good bar food". Had meatloaf and Fish and Chips. I didnt think the mash potatoes were instant..they tasted real to me and gravy was OK. As an appitizer, onion rings could not be beat for $3.95

Thanks for the post!! One suggestion, since you are adjecent to a retirement community of approx 100,000 people, you should make you menu with larger print.
