Despite living only round the corner and drinking hear regularly I only dined here for the first time recently. Unfortunately it was one of the worst pub meals I have ever had. I ordered sausage and mash with rich gravy - usually a fairly safe bet. What I got was sausage and mash but not the kind you would expect to pay £7 for. The sausages were small, bland and cheap. The mash was lumpy and a bit slimey. The gravy was like brown water - thin, tasteless and definitely not rich. It was one of the least attractive plates of food I have ever seen - including those cooked by flatmates during student days.
The meals which my companions had did not look much better, they ordered beef burgers with mozarella and bacon but when they arrived they had no bacon and were covered in bright orange grated cheese. Very poor.
In future I will probably return to Henricks for drinks but definitely not to eat. I wish I had gone to the Golf Tavern instead as I noticed they are now serving Crombie's sausages which should be a real treat.

Ate here on a Monday night. The menu said that if you have a burger on a Monday night you can get a pint for just a pound extra. I only noticed this after we'd eaten. When the bill arrived I enquired and was told that it didn't apply as the burger I had was a special and, regardless, I would have had to request the offer when I ordered. I got the impression that she just couldn't be bothered to go and change bill on the till.
Anyway, whatever. The couple of quid I would have saved on the offer I made back by not leaving her a tip.
The food was fine. Pretty standard pub grub. A bit over priced for what it is with burger and chips about £8.
Nonetheless, I'd still recommend it for a burger and pint if you're in the area. But don't go out your way - the staff certainly won't!

This place is local to me and friends frequent it so I went along one day to meet a buddy who had arrived up from London. I would seek to find positives but the place was void of atmosphere, despite being around Christmas, smelled very strongly of cooking, despite there being only one eating customer and we were sat by the door area, and the coffee was appalling. Truly awful coffee. Service was friendly but it couldn't make up for the lack of love in the place.
