The Shepherd's Crook is a traditional pub-restaurant. It's a place to meet friends and have a chat - and there's no television set to distract you from the craic. We serve good food, for good value. There are daily lunch and dinner specials to supplement the menu. Nineteen draught taps pour only microbrews - we have one pull handle for cask-conditioned 'real ale' - and imports.more...See more text
Great food, great service, lots of selection... many taps to choose from. A must-visit for anyone looking for a good time! I would definetly visit again!
This is one of our favourite places. The atmosphere is quaint and cosy especially if we are able to sit by the fireplace. There are no annoying TVs. We understand from the servers that the food is homemade and everything we've had has been delicious. The beer selections are different from other pubs with microbrews on tap and our favourite ESB from England. We wish this pub was a secret so that we could get a seat on Friday night!

Even tho the menu is pretty standard, the food is always excellent. This combination brings me back - sometimes I just want an excellent sandwhich as opposed to some amazing gastro/galactic ( read pseudo french ) experience.
And the service is excellent even when it's busy.

Been to this place several times, kind of a unique setting great for two to four persons, accomodating larger groups seems difficult due to the "chopped up" arrangement of seating areas.
Order from the "daily special" board, food seems better. Some of the menu items, such as steak and kidney pie, vary in quality from good to "re-heated left-overs" quality when not on the specials list.
Service is unpredictable. When the place is busy be ready to wait (and sometimes remind your server that you had ordered). This is not a ploy to increase the bar tab (while you wait) since in that situation, they'll forget to check your drinks also.
After the traditional dinner hour, you'll most definitely need to tell the server you want something to eat, otherwise a drink order will be taken...end of story.
Aside from these manageable issues, the servers are pleasant, the place is clean and a good (not great) selection of pub beverages.
